#Rejected Goddesses by Natalie Watson
4.0

Happy Publication Day!

I really enjoyed this romcom novella about two best friends, Robyn and Cat, who had to move back to their small hometown and start over after they both unfairly lost their jobs in Boston. It was fun following them on the journey with their new careers and to finding love.

There was a chapter on the train in the beginning that had me cracking up. I was immediately hooked and invested in Cat and Robyn’s stories. I loved the small town of Mystic Oak and how everyone was connected somehow. There were some great secondary characters in this short story. In particular, Jacques, the chef at Robyn’s bakery, and her dog Darcy. I also loved Cat’s Nonna and her brother, Tonio.

Even though this is a novella, the authors did a nice job of developing the main characters. I loved their strong relationship and how they had each other’s backs throughout the book. Hopefully we’ll get to see more of them in the future. This was a cute debut, and I look forward to reading more from Natalie and Nina in the future!

Thank you to the authors for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.
