This charming story of new beginnings and emotional growth has a sassy and likable narrator in Sadie, and the novel keeps a light tone despite touching on difficult subjects like toxic families and grief….Readers who enjoy female entrepreneurs, found family, and gentle romantic leads will enjoy.” – Library Journal This book used terms like hipster and bang to an extreme. It was just as annoying as all of the millennial talk. Too many assumptions were made about men from male bosses always hitting on younger female employees to villainizing “nice” guys who prefer relationships to hook ups. Milo is arrogant, yet not overbearing. You almost appreciate his arrogance. Meanwhile Ingrid is a total narcissist and a caricature of an influencer. Normally I would dislike the way Ingrid is overplayed, but I found it at least a little funny. The same goes for Wanda. Tony is also overplayed, but again it works for comedic effect.

His depression and him working on himself was the reason he used, but to be honest, his words were everything we got. He never changed his behaviour (except he became even more lame when he became official boyfriend, acting like Sadie's assistant who makes her bath while she isn't even home yet because God forbid if she'd have to wait a minute or do it herself), he was the same person at the end of the book that we met at the begging. If your FMC needs to say: “If you haven’t noticed, I’m super quirky” out loud, then we have a problem. All right. We are ROASTING Lease on Love today because apparently my toxic trait is hate reading romance books. One aspect of books with so many side characters is that sometimes it's too many people and voices. But in this case I loved Sadie's group of friends. The text messages, the ribbing, the way they loved each other unconditionally was so perfect. Found families in books can be hit and miss, but it was a total hit in the case with Lease on Love I also wonder if this woman is an alcoholic. She’s drinking wine every single day—even on nights where she works the next day. It was cringy.

the progression of their relationship felt so natural and real as well. the chemistry and tension between them was PALPABLE. Lease on Love warmly and wittily underscores that none of us are perfect, but we are all worthy, we are all enough: we all deserve to be loved, not just by others, but by ourselves too' Sarah Hogle, author of Twice Shy and You Deserve Each Other Lease on Love was a great debut and I really enjoyed Falon Ballard’s voice. I look forward to reading many more books from her and can’t wait to see what else she has up her sleeves. If you’re into the roommates-to-lovers + friends-to-lovers tropes, I’d highly recommend this one!

In fact, I was so excited I asked my friend Amanda to read it with me, expecting we would have a blast. too good to be true”, макар че авторката казва, че е базиран на съпруга ѝ (блазя ѝ, ако е вярно). Той също си има травми и блокажи. Мъката по родителите, които е загубил млад, го е парализирала в социално отношение и го е превърнала в странен самотник, който отчаяно се нуждае от приятели. Yes, she had that little voice that tells her she isn't good enough, but the way she acts this whole book is all about her, her, her, and more than too many times she talks about herself being hot, awesome, great in bed act.I seem to be reading quite a few roommates romance books lately and I’m not mad. It’s a great trope with lots of potential for some delicious romantic moments! Lease on Love gave me exactly what I wanted out of it and even more! Lease on Love is a romance featuring a woman who just got fired from her job and that same night while going drinking with her friends, she accidentally matches with a guy in a roommates app. She thinks she's matching with someone in a DATING app lmao though. But no, the next Saturday she meets this guy and she like fully believes they're on a date but he just wants a roommate. So, when they finally realize what's going on, he shows her his beautiful brownstone and it's a done deal. He's going to rent her a room for such a cheap price on Brooklyn? Sadie needs to say yes right there. The group texts in this book deserves five stars! The author also publish a sequel consists of those texts and I’ll happily read it! I really loved reading about Sadies journey with her mental health, as well as her dynamic friend group. I loved her as a protagonist, and thought she was super fun to follow.

I liked the brilliant mind and sense of creative humor of the author! I will definitely love to read her future works!

I decided that my review is already too long, and since I don't have anything nice to say I will wrap it up here. The main lead. She was kinda 'in your face'. And though, there's nothing wrong with that. The personality isn't likable to me. I loved every other character other than her, tbh. Speaking of the friend group, what an amazing group. I love their support for each other so much and I’d love to see them make appearances again in the future through their own books maybe? I don’t know I just know I need more of them. I love friend groups where you can tell that they’ve become proxy families to each other and Sadie’s group is definitely one of those. Makes my heart melt! from the beginning i definitely related a lot to sadie. her internal monologue and a lot of the self doubt she had was just super relatable to me. Is Netflix sponsoring this book? I didn’t even know you could make watching Netflix a personality trait.
