This was an interesting book, and an interesting concept of combining science and love the way they do in this book. The book however fell a little bit flat for me. Because the book focused on two siblings, I felt like I didn't really connect to either them enough to truly root for them as well as they both really frustrated me at times. The science in this is also very unethical which I wasn't a huge fan of. Lastly I found it a little tame for a Romance book.

It was a very fun book however and one that I was happy about how it all ended up which is important in the Romance book.

This was a cute light-hearted read, and I really liked the cover! I liked the relationship between the two sisters, Molly & Sarah and enjoyed their story. The ending was a little predictable but it was a fun read overall. Would recommend for a quick book to read on the beach.

This is a very sweet romance (of the "fade to black" variety) about two sisters in the UK. There's a lot of great stuff here between the two sisters - they have a great dynamic - but I think the book suffered slightly by both sisters having love interests. The men aren't quite as well-developed, but all in all it's still a very fun read.

What a fun book! I am a huge fan of British romantic comedy books and this was well worth the read! Molly and Sarah both had quite interesting stories. But, as a scientist myself, I confess to enjoying Molly's story a bit more. I don't want to give too much away about the premise of the book, but following a few months of the sisters' lives make for a fun and interesting book. I learned a lot about tandem bicycles and tiara making! There is one loose end that I would have liked tied up, but that's my only quibble with this pleasant book.


Thank you to Avon Books UK and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I think this book just wasn't the right one for me, but I could see how others would find it really sweet! I personally just couldn't connect with the characters and found Sarah's character to especially be unlikeable. I really didn't understand how she wanted to use the Love Bug on Niall after he had been SO horrible to her and didn't understand her motivations at all.

I really appreciated the opportunity to read this book early, thank you!

Spoilers ahead! I found myself really liking Molly, and really disliking Sarah. For the first half of the book I was very irritated by the childish behavior Sarah was showing, and the fact that she was putting a child into an unhealthy, unstable situation purely out of jealousy. I liked Molly's personality, I loved her dry wit. But again, she was wishy washy. I didn't find this to be a book about strong, independent, adult women, until the end of the book. I almost gave up a few times, I almost said "I cant do it," but I followed through and it got better. But a "got better" book, isn't really my type of book. It was good, but I would have changed quite a few things if I could. Just wish I could have cut to the second half, and then added from there. 2.5 stars from me.

I was not a fan of this one. It started promisingly enough, but by 40% it was only okay and then my 70% I was over it. I think if the author had chosen one sister (cough Molly) then it could have been a better story. I felt both plot lines were rushed and the relationships were both slowly cultivated and then rushed. All the sex scenes are fade to black, which depending on preference can be a pro or a con.

Things that bothered me:
-Niall
-The ethically of the 'Love Bug' like...the author tries to have that discussion, but doesn't excuse it being a plot device
-Author uses 'miles', this takes place in UK (granted could be changed in final draft)
- a few of the jokes seem a *tad* problematic (putting on weight)
-uses the word "oriental" which is not good

Honestly, i was hoping for a meet-cute story but this definitely wasn't that.
I must say that i liked to have the stories of the two sisters and the points of view of both but i feel like the book could have been easily made in two different stories, one for Molly and a totally different one for Sarah as we get so much from her life.
I could only think about how can one woman get herself in so many troubles in a span of a few weeks? I totally approved her independence and wanting to give up at her relationship with Niall, her secrets kept till the last minute, her friendship with Liam and her relation with Molly and what they are planning. All of this had my head spinning around, because i really see them as a normal person with a normal life but not to that extend to get to a point of using a love formula.
As for Molly, i feel that she gave up to quick, and honestly, i haven't felt the chemistry between them.
Overall it's a well-written book for sure, the characters are okayish but i just couldn't connect with them.

This was a easy light read about two sisters and their complicated love life’s. Not too much drama and a good bond between Sarah and Molly. Both male love interests were also fairly likeable.

This book is a fun, if little predictable read. The characters are a little cliche but there was some very funny moments. A good pick me up book to read over the summer. If you enjoy writers like Anna Bell or Annie Darling, you will love this book!

I've never read a book like this where it's two sisters you meet Molly and Sarah. They both try to figure out how to love and also accept who they are in there life. When it first started I thought this like another book I read and I was totally wrong. Now I want a part 2 on this book to see where are they now.

Absolutely loved the book and completed it in one go. My fav character was Molly - she was totally adorable. Didn't like Ewan much towards the end. Loved reading Sarah's story as well. Great effort by the author!

If you’re on the hunt for a charming, feelgood book, this is the book for you.

Sarah and Molly are sisters who lost their parents in a car accident early in life and have since then only each other. They’re very diffenrent but close. Sarah lives with her boyfriend Niall and Molly is single, although she has a huge crush on her boss. The question is: how will she make him fall in love with her?

I enjoyed this well written book and really rooted for Molly and Sarah.

Thank you netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This was a light-hearted romance that includes two sisters searching for the right love formula. It was funny and enjoyable. Both sisters lean on each other as they navigate the complexities of their romantic relationships. Good read.

This was such a lovely book! It successfully captures the relationship between two sisters while intertwining their own relationships elsewhere. This book is a perfect summer read!

The Love Solution is a bit hard for me to rate. I did enjoy the core of the novel, which focuses on two sisters and their complex love lives. However, I couldn’t connect with the two sisters that much, especially Sarah, and felt like the payoff was lacking. I would recommend this for romance readers who don’t like their reads to be too explicit, but I was a bit disappointed. The Love Solution is a quick and easy read, but one I ultimately couldn’t connect to.

Sisters Sarah and Molly are close, but they couldn’t be more different. Sarah runs a craft business and is obsessed with all things shiny and glam, whilst Molly is much more at home in her white coat and goggles, working in a science lab.
When Molly is put onto a new assignment, she’s over the moon. It’s a high-profile, top secret project – and she has a handsome new boss to ogle at when she’s not bending over a petri dish…
But when Sarah finds herself on the painful end of a disastrous break-up, no amount of Ben & Jerry’s or trashy rom-coms can cheer her up. She wants to take a more drastic approach to dealing with her heartbreak, and one that only her sister – and perhaps a sprinkle of science – can help with . . .

I really enjoyed this book and it was a perfect read for the mood I was in. I loved that it was a story about two sisters not just one. I have to admit I liked Molly a lot more than Sarah throughout most of the book. Sarah frustrated me with the choices she was making and the way she treated Molly at times. I did get Sarah though because I have been in a similar situation and your thought process is a little all over the place, but still she drove me a little crazy. Molly on the other hand I liked and I loved how grateful she was for Sarah.

I loved the romance in this book and how the story wrapped up but I really hated that there was so much of Neill in this book (I HATE HIM SO VERY MUCH) and wanted more of liam.

This was a prefect romance novel and I gave it 4 out of 5 stars and I would suggest anyone who loves a good romance or just a happy ending read this is the book for you.

Thank you to NetGalley, Ashley Croft and Avon Books for an Arc of the love solution. What initially caught my eye with this book was the cover. It reminded me of the kiss quotient which is one of my all time favorite books. I knew I had to see what it was about. I was excited to learn it was about two sisters and their journeys to find love. Was super excited to start reading this one.
Molly and Sarah are sisters and they are very close but very different people. Sarah runs a craft business and Molly is a scientist. Molly gets put on a new high-profile secret project and has a handsome new boss. Sarah is incredibly sad after going through a really tough breakup. Can her sister Molly and perhaps a little science get her out of her funk?
I really enjoyed this book. I loved the strong bond these sisters had with each other and I enjoyed reading each individuals romantic relationship story lines. This book will tug at your heart but at the same time give you plenty of laughs. What a refreshing read. I loved this book and the ending made me smile. Check this one out if you are a fan of fun rom com romance.

Absolutely GORGEOUS! This book totally captures the unique relationship between sisters through their individual romantic relationships. With swoonsome leading men and cheeky humour, this book is a PERFECT summer read. The sisters’ unconditional support and tough love leads them into some really interesting moral quandaries - would YOU take the Love Solution?
