When Grumpy Met Sunshine by Charlotte Stein: Book Review
A fun and engaging rom-com that was maybe a bit underdeveloped, but still a delight.

Pub Date February 4, 2025 Publisher Berkley Page Count 464 pages Genre Romance, Contemporary, Adult Goodreads Star Rating 4.27 A quick, spoiler-free overview: I quite liked this one, and despite everyone’s dramatics on social media, it’s not really all that…

A sweet and soft rom-com that could have been even better without all the side plots.

This book felt more like women's fiction with a romance subplot; the writing was great, but I wanted more relationship development with the main couple.

This romance book wasn't romantic at all -- an elegy of misused plot devices, wasted opportunities and poorly done characters.

I wish I could say I liked this one, but I was so bored. It might not be a bad book, but it definitely wasn't for me.

I thought this would be my favorite romance of the year -- unfortunately, all the memes and icky sex scenes (or rather, the heroine's dialogue during sex scenes), ruined it for me.

What I hoped would be a sweet and spicy friends-to-lovers quickly turned into a cringey, bog-standard hockey romance.

In which I find what is probably my least favorite book of the year.
