This was such a lovely read. Both of the main characters were really likeable in their own way, however Sophie was quite annoying at times.

I loved how you could see the very clear journey both characters were on. This would be a great read while on holidays. Would definitely recommend to friends.

Sophie knows that facts are better than feelings — her master spreadsheet rules her life, planning her meals, her bikini waxes, which gifts she’s given and even keeping meticulous score of how her dates went to decide if they’re getting a second one.

But when she accidentally sends a copy to “all” instead of her friend, chaos ensues and everyone knows more than they should. Especially Dr Michael Adams, the recipient of a painful 2.5 rating after one failed date. Sophie tries to apologise, especially after realising there was more to that date than she know and they come up with a challenge — ten dates, to see if her formula really can tell her if someone is worth another date. She thinks it’s fool proof, the scores won’t change. He thinks you can’t assign a number to chemistry.

They're both looking to win this challenge; but if Michael really proves they can fall in love without an equation … what’s next?

I’d call Kathryn Freeman my guilty pleasure but I don’t feel guilty at all for loving these books. Ever since I stumbled across her years ago I’ve impatiently waited to see what she puts out next because I know it’s going to be a lot of fun.

Was It Good For You? is a refreshingly contemporary romance, taking all your favourite familiar tropes with her own flair to make something cosy, light-hearted and so entertaining.

Sophie was a gem — as someone who also lives my life in spreadsheets although not as much as she does I connected right away with her. She was a wonderful narrator, witty and funny but with a lot of heart.

I absolutely adored her friendships with Ava and Grace (and tinker bell the cat, of course!) and how loving and supportive their relationships were. as for Dr Adams — he was delightful; dry and cheeky, and secure enough to show love and express his feminine side - a brilliant romcom love interest. Their romance was a hilarious mix of playful dares, slow burning enemies-to-lovers and proximity with a beautiful growth arc that had me both cringing and smiling. There's a few moments when things get real and emotional, but overall this was such a light, entertaining story for anyone looking to indulge in some sweet, steamy romance for a few hours.

Michael says it best, this book is “a dash of humour, a dollop of cheeky and a hint of sexy.” - Silly, sweet and sassy — this is the perfect easy read for the summer!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for providing me with an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Was it good for you explores a new take on enemies to lovers. The book starts out with promise. I enjoyed reading the characters journey together. However, truthfully I found the FMC to be lacking depth, she staunchly defends her behaviours and doesn’t truly seem to understand why they’re toxic. And the ending really wasn’t for me. But if you’re looking for a light hearted read, this is one for you. The MMC is rather enjoyable to read.

4.5

<I> Our FMC Sophie spends her whole life documenting everything down on a spreadsheet, including rating the men she dates to decide whether she'll continue dating them. After being set up on a blind-date by her Zumba instructor, she rates Michael a measly 2.5. However, whilst complaining to her friends she accidentally sends the spreadsheet to everyone in her contacts including her blind date. After an apology tour, including a meeting with her boss about her lunch-time bikini waxes, Sophie and Michael agree to go on 10 dates to prove that a spreadsheet really can't decide whether someone is the right person for you. </I>

This book had such a fun premise and was executed well. It was unique without being silly or unbelievable. I also loved Sophie and Michael, and their development from unlikely friends to a couple was very well done. Over their 10 dates, you can see these two characters are meant to be together and the chemistry between the two is perfection.

My one issue was the writing at the start felt rather clunky and it wasn't until the 25% mark that the book really started to flow. This book has some really heartwarming moments and I just wanted to curl up with a blanket when reading this.

A very cosy and heartwarming read! I think if you enjoy Lynn Painter and Amy Lea, this book will be perfect for you!
