The cover and title drew me in it. I found the romance so cute!!! It was what I needed right now since slumps ahoy!

Taylor Swift references abound in this book, it was a cute read and I really enjoyed it. I laughed a lot and I am always a sucker for a second chance romance!

this book was only 220 something pages though, so i wasn't expecting the characters/plot to be fleshed out or anything like that. it wasn't different from anything i've read before. i just thought this was a pretty decent book and overall, i enjoyed it. still, i probably would have liked it if it were longer and we had been given more background information on the characters.

ty: he was the most boring love interest ever. i just wanted him to do something interesting that would add spice to the story but no he did nothing. the one thing he would do is play pranks that involve putting dye in a sunscreen so a neighbor of his would be green. that's not funny like what is this disney channel shit?? he thought he ate.

quinn: boring. i don't even have much to say about her because she was so boring. her personality was pretty much nonexistent outside of her "longing 🥺🥺" for ty. why was she thirsting over him? he acts like a middle school boy. however, i do love her relationship with her family, particularly her sisters. they were all there for each other and i thought it was so cute.

quinn and ty: ummmm what the fuck was that? there was nothing between them. no tension, no banter, no teasing; just nothing. they both felt like they peaked in highschool. also this is a second chance romance and the whole reason they broke up was very stupid. why center there reason for breaking up around that? anyways i just don't care about their relationship at all.

This was a light read geared more towards young adults. I found the main characters to be a little immature and their relationship had more of a high school feel to it than that of a couple in their early 20s. I liked the female MC more than the male MC. I really enjoyed the topic of allergies and diet restrictions addressed in the book as it's not something I come across frequently. The way invisible illnesses are handled was very well done in my opinion. Overall I liked the book, especially all the Talyor Swift references and am glad I got a chance to read an advance copy!

We’re Never Getting Back Together by Krysti Meyer was a light-hearted and fun read, and is a good reminder of what it was like to be young and in love. The story focuses on two exes having to work together to organize a small town festival. As you can imagine, there is a lot of angst and unresolved conflicts, so there was a fair amount of banter. However, I found it somewhat young for me, especially with the emotional outbursts and lack of communication between the two main characters. I’m sure though that it will be enjoyed by the Teens/YA population.

Interestingly, my favourite aspect of the book was the focus on invisible illnesses and “spoonies”. As an individual with several autoimmune diseases, I loved the normalization around invisible symptoms and the authors advocacy for better healthcare in the US. As a Canadian, I am constantly needing to advocate for my own healthcare and have coincidentally recently been wondering if some of my unanswered questions were a result of MCAS (the autoimmune disease that the FMC Quinn suffers with). I truly admire the author normalizing invisible illnesses and the usefulness of alternate diets, like the AIP diet. This book motivated me to start prioritizing my nutrition and reminded me that there is so much more than medicine to treat our illnesses.

Thanks you to NetGalley and IBPA for providing me with a digital ARC of this book. Please note that all opinions in this review are entirely my own.

It's been 3 years since Quinn has seen Ty, her ex, and now he's back home for the summer. She's still waiting for an apology and he's too stubborn to give it. When their friend has to leave town, they both volunteer to host the upcoming festival in her place to prove who loves their town more. All they have to do is agree on a movie, set up a few things, and not kill each other. Easy right?

4.25 stars!
This book was adorable and hilarious. It had such Gilmore Girls vibes. I loved that were "enemies" at first and it was light-hearted, unlike other second chances I've read. I almost gave up on second chances because they were too emotional for me but I still gave this one a try, and I'm so glad I did. I laughed and squealed so much. I would say it is more for a younger audience as the main characters are 21 and a little immature. I still loved it though and would recommend it!

Thank you NetGalley, IBPA, and Krysti Meyer for this ARC.

Thank you Netgalley for sending me an ARC of this book.

This book was so cute! It’s filled with Taylor Swift references, humor, second chance romance, amazing friendships and a super cute small town.

I really loved Quinn, our female lead. She is a people pleaser and struggles with chronic illness. It was really interesting to read about how her illness affected not only her, but the people around her as well. Quinn is as I previously mentioned a big people pleaser. She goes out of her way to make everyone happy, and always prioritizes everyone else before herself.

Ty is our male lead. That’s really everything I can tell you about him. He was just there. I felt like I never really got to know him (the book is also only from Quinn`s pov), and I felt so indifferent towards him. He was sweet at times, but most times he just annoying. He flat out refused to apologize for anything, and always blamed everyone else.

The pace was a bit weird in the last half, and I really didn’t like how Quinn was the one who always had to apologize for everything. Overall, it was a super cute book, filled with great humor, important topics, and Taylor Swift. I just didn’t like the relationship between Ty and Quinn, and that kind of ruined the rest for me.

I rated this book 4 stars it’s a book perfect for sports romance lovers. This book is perfect for a Taylor swift fan, with Taylor swift song reference all through the book.

3.5 stars for me

This was my first read from this author and I will be looking for more.

It’s the quintessential small town romance and everything that entails. Town gossips, interfering family members and cute situations

Quinn and Ty’s relationship was interesting and I enjoyed the ending, but I did wish I got a little more background on them. The miscommunication between the two is strong and although they’re young, they’re not young enough that their decisions always made sense to me.

Quinn's first love and ex-boyfriend Ty has been out of town for 3 years until now! Quinn is still furious with him for getting her into trouble back then and hasn't seen or spoken to him since. Now he's back on the scene, and seemingly read to make amends, can Quinn forgive him and open her heart to Ty once again?

This is a really sweet, heartwarming story of first love and second chances. I adored the small town/family vibe of Rosedale along with the all the quirky characters who live there. The character of Quinn is a great representation of someone who battles chronic illness, trying to help others in the same situation, and I loved this element of the story too. A small town, super sweet, closed door romance that still brings the sizzle! Loved it!

Thank you Kristi Meyer and NetGalley for this e-ARC in exchange for my honest opinion and review.

I was really looking forward to this one.

Small town and second chance romances are a few of my absolute favorite tropes. However, diving into this one, I simply wasn’t able to connect with characters.

I did love the chronic condition rep that the author involved, but by 20% I simply didn’t feel I was getting anywhere in the plot line. I DNF’d at 20%.

Actual rating: 3.5 stars


This was such a cute and sweet small town romance.

I loved the main character and ger family and really appreciated the chronic illness representation.

I would have liked a little bit more background and things happening between Quinn and Ty. Everything between them seems to go a little too quickly and the miscommunication was a little bit much for me.

In the end I spent a couple of really nice hours reading this book and would recommend it if you’re in need of something quick and easy but still super cute.


*Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.*

Never Getting Back Together by Kristi Meyer was a delightful treat that had me yearning for summer months and nostalgic for college summer breaks.

Overall this was a quick and enjoyable read. I enjoyed the character development for the protagonist Quinn, and appreciated her strong female friends. The lovers to haters to… was very relatable and nostalgic for me. I enjoyed all of the characters in this book. Although Quinn seemed shallow at times, there was an underlying cause to all of of the glass mirrors that made her more relatable. Overall, I enjoyed this book and thought it was a cute story. If you are looking for something quick and light to read this will be the book for you!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book and a chance to review it.

3.5 stars!

This was a very cute and sweet second-chance romance!

I loved the small town setting and the chronic illness rep!

However, I did not enjoy the miscomunication trope, and that's what brings down my rating from what would be a solid 4 stars!

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC read!

Never Getting Back Together by Krysti Meyer is a delightful and heartwarming novel that captivates readers from start to finish. Set against the backdrop of a small town's Founder's Festival, this book takes us on a journey with Quinn Kelley as she navigates the complexities of her life, from pursuing her business dreams to confronting her past relationship with her ex-boyfriend, Ty Rossi. One of the standout qualities of this book is the genuine and relatable characters that Meyer has created. Quinn Kelley is a protagonist that readers will instantly connect with. Her determination to achieve her goals and her resilience in the face of challenging circumstances make her a truly inspiring character. Ty Rossi, on the other hand, adds an intriguing dynamic to the story. The chemistry between Quinn and Ty is palpable, and the tension that arises from their past relationship adds an extra layer of depth to the narrative. Meyer skillfully weaves together themes of personal growth, forgiveness, and second chances throughout the story. As Quinn and Ty navigate the responsibilities of co-hosting the Founder's Festival, their interactions are filled with sparks and heated exchanges. However, the author gradually peels back the layers of their history, allowing readers to witness their growth and transformation. The emotional journey that Quinn undertakes is beautifully portrayed, and readers will find themselves rooting for her as she confronts her fears and learns to let go of the past. What sets Never Getting Back Together apart is Meyer's ability to seamlessly blend humor and romance. The witty banter between Quinn and Ty provides many laugh-out-loud moments, while their unresolved feelings create an undercurrent of anticipation. The story's pacing is perfect, keeping readers engaged and invested in the outcome of their complicated relationship. Overall, Never Getting Back Together is a refreshing and uplifting read. Krysti Meyer's writing style is engaging and evocative, transporting readers to the charming small town and immersing them in the festival's festivities. With its relatable characters, heartfelt emotions, and a touch of nostalgia, this book is a true gem. Whether you're a fan of romance, personal growth, or simply enjoy a well-crafted story, Never Getting Back Together is a must-read that will leave you with a warm and satisfied feeling.

I loved this book! Meyer does a great job writing characters who you can't help but want to root for. Her first book was a favorite of mine and this one is no different.

I love small-town romances! I also love that this had a Gilmore Girls/Sweet Home Alabama vibe. I also liked the Taylor Swift references and that Quinn was a Swiftie! At first I was kinda mad at Quinn for not talking to Ty or trying to find out why he'd been avoiding her for the past three years by not coming home to Rosedale. Though Ty had his own reasons for not coming home or communicating and also returned for personal reasons. I did want the two of them to be together and was rooting for them the entire book. Ty's friends were idiots though, complete and total idiots. I can definitely understand why Quinn was so upset.

This is a very sweet second chance small town romance.

Filled with sweet romance and banter this book is the perfect feel good read.

Thanks for the ARC Krysti Meyer and Net Galley.

This started off as a cute story but the feelings sadly weren't there for me. I didn't get along with the characters but it wasn't all bad! It had some cute scenes. It wasn't the book for me but I can definitely see other people really enjoying this.

This book is more Young adult and becoming of age than romance, so be aware of that before reading it.
Quinn is 21 years old and has a diagnosis of Mas Cell Activation Syndrome, and more than half of the book is about her condition and how she takes control of it and her life. It's eye opening about how what you eat can affect your body and health.
The part of being a second chance romance it's there but it's secondary. Ty returns to his hometown for summer break after 3 years being in California in college, that's when all the feelings she has for him (heartbreak, chemistry..) come back. As this story is only with her point of view, there are a lot.of thing we don't know about Ty, and it's like he is not a co-star in the book.
It's a good read, but as I said it's more about becoming adult with a health condition than a romance book.
