Review: Lease On Love!



Beach Read meets The Flatshare in this warmly funny and delightfully sharp debut rom-com about a down-on-her-luck young woman who turns an innocent mix-up between a dating app and a roommate app into a new chance at love.

After getting passed over for an overdue—and much needed—promotion, Sadie Green is in desperate need of three things: a stiff drink, a new place to live, and a one-night-stand. When one drink turns into one too many, Sadie mixes up a long-ignored dating app for a roommate-finding app and finds herself on the doorstep of Jack Thomas’s gorgeous Brooklyn brownstone. Too bad she’s more attracted to his impressive real estate than she is to the man himself.

Jack, still grieving the unexpected death of his parents, has learned to find comfort in video games and movie marathons instead of friends. So while he doesn’t know just what to make of the vivaciously verbose Sadie, he’s willing to offer her his spare bedroom while she gets back on her feet. And with the rent unbeatably low, Sadie can finally pursue her floristry side hustle full-time. The two are polar opposites, but as Sadie’s presence begins to turn the brownstone into a home, they both start to realize they may have just made the deal of a lifetime.

Plot: I loved reading about Sadie gaining confidence in herself, opening her floral business, and falling in love. Her fear that she is selfish, when all her actions in the book show she is far more caring than she lets herself believe. I also quite liked the subplots going on with her friends! There are definitely some heavy elements to the book, so just to warn people who go in expecting a light read, but I never felt it weighed down the story, and there was plenty of humor in the book as well.

Characters: All of the characters in this book were so fantastic! Sadie's friends were great, and I loved the family they had all created together. Jack was a great love interest!

The Cover: It's cute!

Overall: I loved this book so much, and I absolutely can not write enough good things about it! I highly recommend reading it!

I received an e-ARC from the publisher.
