A solid 2.5 stars. This was cute and the banter between the two characters was adorable. I’m not sure if it was my Kindle or actual mistakes that weren’t caught, but after several errors, the charm of the book wore off.

Lesson Learned…

I don’t typically read reviews before starting a book and in some cases, I don’t read the synopsis of a book before beginning. With that being said, don’t be like me if you feel tempted to read this book. While this is one of the wildest and definitely smuttiest books I’ve read, I think I was more bothered by the poor plot line and the incessant repetition of certain details. You’ve been warned.

Thank you NetGalley and Penguin Random House for this ARC of Not the Plan. Much like her debut novel, Getting His Game Back, this was such a fun and easy read. True to form, de Cadenet brings the reader a story with vibrant characters who overcome toxic familial relationships while falling for each other. I love how Karim and Isadora connect with each other and their “blunt, honesty” game gave me total Olivia and Fitz vibes.

This was a great read and I really didn’t know where the story was going, but remained deeply invested in finding out what happened with January and Gus.
