Accidentally in Love by Belinda Missen
3.0

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book.

I thought Accidentally in Love was overall very very cute. I love books set in the UK and I loved the duality of London and Sheffield. Kate is such a sweet character and I found myself rooting for her constantly. She felt incredibly relatable to me and I really liked her narrative.

I found myself a bit perplexed at her quickly forming relationship with Kit because from where I was sitting, there was no chemistry at all until the very end but I was nevertheless very pleased for her. I was also a bit confused when people would just... accuse her of being selfish etc. when I thought she cared quite a lot about other people, she just also cared about herself. Which was a huge plus point in my book.

Besides the romance, the family dynamics and Kate's passion for art made this book very enjoyable for me. And the way she took a leap with her life and escaped some toxic situations was honestly amazingly done.

Definitely recommend this book!
