This book was so different compared to the other small town romance novels as there is no spice which is actually nice because sometimes the plot is so greatly written that it isn't needed. That is the case for this book because I loved the plot for Quinn and the vibe of Never Getting Back Together was so fun!

Here we follow Quinn and Ty, an aspiring nutrition counselor and architect respectively. When a messy break up occurs their senior year, Quinn and Ty want nothing to do with each other; even years later. As Quinn struggles her way through finishing her certification, and her chronic illness (of being allergic to almost everything) running into Ty is the last thing she needs. After running into each other our MC's find themselves volunteering to run the town festival. Will sparks be rekindled? Will Quinns up tight, controlling personality or Ty's childish pranks keep them apart? I will never find out (DNF @ 40%). I found this read difficult to get through. There were too many social media and pop culture references for my liking. Book tropes for this book include: Small town rom, Chronic illness rep, second chance rom, and forced proximity.

This was such a cute read! Not gonna lie, I was initially interested because of the Taylor Swift title. But it ended up being such a surprising and fun read! I did feel like I was a little too old, this would be a perfect read for young adult fans of Gilmore Girls!

I have not read anything by this author before, but I will definitely be looking out for their work in the future. I loved seeing the story unfold and seeing the characters grow.

High school sweethearts Quinn and Ty don’t really get along after their breakup so when they are tasked to work together for a town festival, sparks fly! It was clear the sparks were there when you first meet Quinn and Ty. Quinn’s cooking classes and mentions of her chronic illness were unique insights in this book. Ty’s friends are a menace. The characters came off a little cliche and young for almost college grads but it doesn’t necessarily take away from the story. I wished we would’ve seen the characters’ personalities a little more though.

This book was SO GOOD! I loved the quirkiness of the characters and the hate-love banter! It gave me ALL the small town romance feels and had really good representation in it!! Loved the MMC and FMC!! I loved their relationship and back and fourth! Only note was that I wish it was longer with more detail. I feel like it went by SO quick. Overall really good though!

i read this book in one sitting and let me say… i was laughing out loud, rooting for Quinn and Ty, and just feeling so cozy reading this book. it gave me such late summer/fall vibes and I’m so happy i read it. definitely a must read if you want something light hearted and genuinely funny!

🌟 Thank you NetGalley for providing me with this ARC for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this second chance romance set in a small town. It’s a cute romance and I loved the representation of chronic illness. The perfect read for a cosy afternoon. Also perfect for lovers of Taylor Swift!!

No spice, young adult romance.

I love a small town romance so that drew me to this book. This book was cute, but overall wasn’t for me personally. I think I was too old for this book? It felt a little immature but maybe that was the point? I just didn’t connect with the characters very much. I think others would enjoy this one more.

Thank you to Netgalley for the arc!

Thank you NetGalley for a copy of this book! This book has some of my favourite tropes such as small town romance, and second chance! It was easy to read, enjoyable and the characters were sweet. I didn’t connect with the characters as much as I hoped but it was still a fun read!!

I really enjoyed her first book but this one just fell a little flat for me & felt a little too YA for me potentially? I DNF'd at around 1/4 of the way in. I think this will be a super fun book for some people but it just wasn't for me sadly. I will still happily try more from her in the future!!

Thank you Netgalley and Krysti for this ARC!

This is the perfect book for a reading marathon (it has only 224 pages).

I loved the cosy small town vibe and the Taylor Swift references. As a Swiftie I couldn't see a book named "Never Getting Back Together" and not reading it!
However I did not connected with the two main characters. I thought that their attitudes were quite immature sometimes and I did not vibe with it.

Despite that I enjoyed and was a very pleasant read!

This one definitely should be read in the tween years and I’m definitely too old for it!
I found the characters terribly immature. The MMC pulls pranks on the town and the FMC is ruled by her initial reactions to any scenario.
In finishing this book, I don’t think Ty and Quinn are a good fit. They needed more time to develop and actually communicate. Because they didn’t have time, I highly doubt they last until winter.
The book is very informative about Mast Cell Activation Syndrome but that’s about it.

This caught my eye on Netgalley, so I wanted to check it out. The genre isn't listed on Goodreads, but both of the characters are well out of high school. It's sappy sweet and there isn't much by way of mature content (some drinking, but not much else), so it could definitely be YA. I'd prefer it listed as clean NA, but I don't make the rules.

I liked the story. It was a quick, easy read and I loved the small town setting. Seriously, give me fun, quirky residents any day. I also loved Quinn's family. The romance novel parts had me cracking up. Yes, the characters were super immature, but I guess I just expect that from anyone under 25 in novels at this point. I like that it had chronic illness rep, especially from a young person. As someone who got sick with an unknown illness that took years to diagnose at 19, I appreciated seeing this perspective on paper.

I will say that some of the pop culture references in here don't really match the target age. (I know nothing about this author, so I'm telling you how it seems rather than what is actually true.) But it feels like an older millennial wrote this and threw some of their lived experience in there. As I was reading, I was wondering if anyone who was currently in high school would have any idea what references the author was trying to make. They actually gave me pause a few times.

Overall, a fun read. 3.5 rounded up. Nothing mind blowing, but entertaining enough.

Thank you to net galley and Krysti Meyer for this ARC of ‘Never getting back together’

For all the Swifties, this book is for you! Absolutely love a small town romance too!This book was just over 200 pages so was a quick read. Even though it was fairly short I still thoroughly enjoyed this book. The characters were well developed and the plot was enjoyable. My only critique is that I feel like I needed more☺️

This was a small-town/second chance romance, and although I found the story to be cute, it was far too YA for me; I like my romance with lots of spice and chemistry and I didn't really feel much of that. That being said, Quinn and Ty's story was well-written and I think younger fans of romance would enjoy it.

Really good read about a 2nd chance romance. She's working on making her name for herself in a small town helping people with her baking and her ex has come back to town!
It was short of sweet whilst still being able to cover issues about our MFC chronic illness and how misdiagnoses' can effect a person and the affects it can have on daily tasks. I felt like this book really handled this topic very well as it can us a good feeling on what it must be like to live with a chronic illness whilst still giving her hopes, dreams and having a good feel for the character

I really enjoyed this book! If you need a quick cute read, this is definitely it!

For the length of the book the story didn’t feel rushed to me at all. I wish there was another 50 pages or so, to get a little more of Ty and Quinn together in the end.

Overall great read!

This was a super cute, country vibe romance read and I was here for it.

From the moment we met Quinn, I was drawn to her personality and characterisation. She had clearly been hurt and although she had a barrier up, she was extremely likeable. For me, it took longer to warm to Ty. I think the knowledge that he had hurt Quinn in the past and it put me off getting to know him. However, he had a lot of love to give and it made me feel all warm inside when they realised there was something still there.

A lovely little read for anyone who is a fan of second-chance love and slow burns.

I received this book as an ARC from Netgalley for my honest review! Thank you Netgalley!

Sometimes I try to branch out and read tropes I don't normally like to see if it can be done well or if I just don't like that concept. I think in this case it's me, not the book. I'm just not a second chance girl. I don't believe in giving second chances if someone broke your heart or your trust. So don't take my review to heart if there's a magic to a second chance for you that I just can't see.
