‘Enemies to lovers? YES PLEASE. I loved every second of this book.’ Reader Review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐
‘A modern day You’ve Got Mail.’ Reader Review, ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Two rival bookstore owners. One chance for a happily ever after…
Bookshop owner Lexi Austen’s problems are stacking up. Her dating life is a mess and Sam Dickens – devastatingly handsome, arrogant, and fiercely competitive rival bookshop owner – is hellbent on stealing all of her customers.
Frustrated, Lexi turns to her shelves for answers. And what have the classics taught her? That when lovers start as enemies, there’s no distraction quite like love…
Lexi plots to charm Sam: she invites him to a ball (well, a party), drags him to a dance class (does it matter if it’s not a quadrille?) and swoons into his arms while taking a turn in the park (note: next time, make sure he isn’t holding a hot drink).
As their rivalry reaches scorching levels, it’s not just Lexi’s beloved bookshop at stake, but her heart too…
A charming, bookish enemies-to-lover romance, perfect for fans of Emily Henry’s Book Lovers and Sally Thorne's The Hating Game.
Tropes:
- enemies-to-lovers
- small town
- opposites attract
- slow burn
- HEA guaranteed

Title: Not You've Got Mail
Review: I liked this book okay. I love books centered in a bookshop and was interested in a You've Got Mail vibe. This book is not like You've Got Mail at all, unfortunately. Lexi, MFC, is fine and I love her wanting to carry on her grandmother's legacy but Sam is not a very likable character. There are so many red flags and I was a little confused as to why Lexi wanted to pretend to date him in the first place. This book would have done well with a dual POV to understand Sam and all his baggage.I thought some of the other characters were not necessary at all like Sam's ex girlfriend. I really felt like Lexi should have just gone home to England as her sister seemed to be the only one who really cared about her at all.Thanks to NetGalley and Avon Books for the e-ARC. This review is my own opinion.

Title: Disappointing
Review: When you have characters who own bookstores: a heroine named Austen and a hero named Dickens, you know that there is going to be a clash of characters. It was a fun set-up, but I just never warmed up to the characters and it became a disappointing slog.I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book that I received from Netgalley; however, the opinions are my own and I did not receive any compensation for my review.

Title: Underwhelming plot
Review: When I start reading "Bookishly Ever After" I had a high hopes for a wild, enemies-to-lovers adventure, but I ended up feeling pretty underwhelmed.The story kicks off with Lexi Austen, the owner of a quaint little bookshop, facing a ton of drama. Her dating life's a hot mess, and to top it all off, she's got Sam Dickens, her rival bookshop owner, breathing down her neck, trying to steal all her customers.At first, I was totally on board for the drama. I mean, who doesn't love a good enemies-to-lovers storyline, right? But as the plot unfolded, things started feeling a bit off. Lexi's plan to win over Sam felt seriously shady. I mean, the poor guy's just come out of a messy breakup, and here she is, playing mind games with him. It just felt kind of wrong.But hey, I get that not everyone's gonna feel the same way I do. If you're into the whole enemies-to-lovers thing and don't mind a bit of drama, you might actually enjoy this book. Who knows, it might just be the perfect guilty pleasure read for you.

Review: I really enjoyed this book and loved the characters. It had lots of great romance tropes to enjoy and was centred around books - what's not to love?
