couldn't quite get into reading this. at the time I attempted to read this, I was in a reading slump. It didn't satisfy my tastes and just wasn't for me.

This is a sweet, fun story about a woman who thought she had her life just the way she wanted it, until a new friend showed her possibilities she didn't know existed

Lia , the heroine of the story gets caught between caring for two guys and has to really search her heart and come to grips with her past traumas in order to make the right decision. She is fortunate to have the support and trust of her friend Isabel and together they dissect everything that has occurred and plan a course of action. I like that Lia is thoughtful and does not make any rash decisions. It was near impossible to hate either of the main male characters, except for the beach encounter. The ending felt rushed and tied up quickly, but this book was well written, although I could have skipped the long explanation of playing Mahjong.

The Art of Falling in Love with You by A. A. Jaeon

#Netgalley #TheArtOfFallingInLoveWithYou

-caught in a love triangle!

Get ready for a sweet romance with some heavier topics and a love triangle with NO cheating!


We meet Lydia (Lia) Zhang in her mid twenties, who has a great life with a best friend roomate, Isabel (Isa), an art studio, teaching art classes a few times a week, and a great boyfriend, Reed, of three years.

I anticipated a light sweet story, a fluffy fun romance, but got way more than that. I thoroughly enjoyed every word.

Lia meets Connor Li who is a chef, neighbor, and teaches kids how to cook.

I liked how the characters were so well written and realistic. I liked the Asian culture. When Lia struggled with her feelings and decision making, I felt it. I really liked the open communication and honesty in this book a very strong point here.

Reed was realistic as well and I felt for both him and Lia when they brought up their parental/childhood issues.

Connor Li was just...............sweet, kind, caring, a gentleman, loveable, a cinnamon roll type of guy. Loved him.

I was totally along for the whole ride, the whole triangle, the romance.

I inhaled the story in one day and reread it the next.

I appreciated the fact that there was no cheating.

I will not spoil if she chose one or the other, or none. Y'all NEED to read this book!

I urge all readers who like stories with friendship and love, respect, love triangles and a feel good happy ending.

I must mention the cover, simply beautiful!!

Highly recommended 4 1/2*** rounded up to 5***
