Thank you for this ARC of this story! The Love Intervention was compelling, dynamic, and fun. The story moved fast and kept my interest the whole time. There were quite a few bombshells that truly shocked me- all aiding in keeping me glued to the page. Overall can’t wait to read more from Khoury.
The main character's journey intrigued me, especially as she navigated the complexities of falling in love. Despite having a successful career, she’s a workaholic with a sad past and a difficult present. Her task is to have fun with three of her exes, which she does—until she no longer enjoys it.
While the story was engaging, I felt the author didn’t evoke as much emotion as I hoped. The pacing seemed rushed, and although nothing about the plot was necessarily bad, the family dynamics didn’t quite resonate with me.
One of the highlights, however, was the portrayal of female friendship. Even though some parts were a bit unbelievable, the bond between the characters added a special touch. Overall, it was an enjoyable read, but more emotional depth would have made the characters and relationships more compelling.
This book was so fun. I could not put this book down. The story was very fun to read and the writing in this book was great. I would highly recommend.
This book was well written and I felt as if I was there with the characters and could imagine it - it’s like being there in person or being a fly on the wall. The story also wasn’t predictable, in a good way, my gues to who Laila ende with was wrong so the story keeps you interested! My only critique is that the end seemed a bit rushed and sloppy and some of the characters seemed to be a bit immature - it felt like it was tying to wrap up loose ends quickly. However, it was such a great read and flowed very well! Excited to read other books!
Thank you to NetGalley and Canelo for this ARC.
This was a fun story starring a workaholic FMC that goes on a trip around the world to revisit 3 men from her past. I was immersed in the book immediately and couldn't wait to find out which man would be "the one." It also featured strong female friendships and complicated family dynamics. This was my first book from this author, but definitely not my last
I really enjoyed the concept of this book. The story was a fun one to get lost in. Travel and old boyfriends and self-discovery mixed with friendships... amazing combination! Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.
Caroline Khoury’s The Love Intervention is a fresh and heartwarming romance that explores friendship, love, and the surprising ways life can change when you least expect it. With an engaging cast of characters and a unique twist on traditional matchmaking, this story is both entertaining and emotionally resonant.
The protagonist’s journey is both relatable and inspiring, as she navigates the ups and downs of her personal life with the help (and occasional interference) of her closest friends. Khoury writes with warmth and humor, effortlessly drawing readers into the characters’ lives. The dynamics between the friends add a layer of authenticity, making the story feel vibrant and real.
The romance is sweet and slow-burning, with plenty of heartfelt moments and just the right amount of tension. Khoury’s ability to weave deeper themes of self-discovery and the value of true connections into the narrative adds depth to the overall story.
While some parts of the plot are predictable, the charm and sincerity of the writing more than make up for it. The Love Intervention is a feel-good novel perfect for fans of romantic comedies and stories about finding love and friendship in unexpected places.

Laila vive y respira para trabajar, y sus amigas Samira y Jena están preocupadas por ella. Por ello, deciden hacer un plan para que se tome unas vacaciones y, de paso, tenga un poco de diversión con tres de sus ex.
Aunque parece que la historia se centrará en encontrar el amor, no es así. En su camino, Laila se autodescubrirá, enfrentará viejos, demonios, cerrará ciclos, descubrirá algunos secretos y su relación con algunas personas importantes en su vida se pondrá a prueba.

What a charming and original story of second chance romance spanning across the world. This is my first time reading a novel from Caroline Khoury, and will definitely not be the last time.
Read if you enjoy:
*** Second chance romance
*** 3 MMC to choose from!
*** a workaholic FMC that has had no time for love
*** Strong female friendships
*** “Love is a complication” trope
I enjoyed the concept of this novel. Our FMC Laila has concentrated on her work and career for the last ten years. Love and relationships have always been on the backburner. Enter her two best friends who have the idea to contact 3 former men from Laila’s past that they believe could ignite her quest for love once again. The journey that unfolds is entertaining, and encourages all of us to give the “what if’s” a chance!
Thank you to Netgalley and Canelo for the ARC of this novel; all opinions are my own.
Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this book!!
What a great book! I really enjoyed this book. I couldn’t put it down. The author has such a good writing style. This was a first for me by this author but will not be my last! I enjoyed the characters. They had good chemistry.
I love this book! As someone who has put love on the back burner for work etc I could relate so much to the MC and her journey to find love. Exceptionally well written and another hit by the lovely Caroline Khoury.
