thoughts

  • "I ate this up in a day. Did I have a meal of beets and crackers just to avoid making an actual dinner so I could keep reading? Yes. Yes, I did.

    The fake dating trope is one of my absolute favourites and this delivered. The banter? Fun. The tension? Delicious. The emotional payoff? Fully earned.

    And the MMC… oh my goodness. Was I googling “Norwegian accent” so I knew exactly what he sounded like when he says, “Stop me if anything I do makes you uncomfortable”? No shame."


    Carrie, from Goodreads

  • "I’m calling it: We've found Sophie Kinsella’s heir, and she comes armed with math jokes, group chat gremlins, and a Norwegian heartthrob who could make even Becky Bloomwood abandon a designer sale rack for a differential equation.

    The Statistically Unlikely Rebound by Parker Elling is a fun, chaotic, heartfelt rom com with a brainy twist."

    Sabrina (Tousled Reveries)

  • "I DEVOURED this and I don’t even like math (the feeling is mutual so it’s fine).

    Their immediate connection/chemistry as friends? The cautious and then wholehearted trust between the two of them? I am frothing at the mouth.

    Daisy is such an icon and I love her. Who among us has not been severely disappointed by a man and then spiraled a little? But instead of letting it take over (which, like, she uprooted her entire life! So it would be valid!!!) she goes ALL IN. She makes her own life, her own friends, her own choices, and is immediately delighted by the joy she finds in it."
