This book was fantastic for a debut novel, I absolutely loved it.
MMC usually aren't my favourite character in a book but EC has my heart entirely.
I loved the plot and the storytelling and how it developed through the book.
I'd 100% recommended reading this book once its released.
thank you so much to NetGalley and Alyssa Jarrett for the opportunity to review and Arc read this book. I can't wait to add the physical copy to my shelf!

This was such a cute and easy rom-com! I really liked the story line of this book. The story follows Casey, a stylist looking to blaze her own path and Evan, a tech founder whose got more to hide than just his fashion choices. The banter in this book was soo good. I loved reading the back and forth between EC and Casey. I also loved the tech talk, I love reading about things that are not in my usual realm of work so this was a real treat. I think the author also did a good job at building the supporting characters which either left you with a feeling of kindship or kinda made you want to side eye them. I leaned toward the latter. Overall, a quick and fun read.

Love Apptually by Alyssa Jarrett was such a good read. The only critique I had was that I didn't love the "journals" and such from the local publication chapters between the story. At first they were very entertaining, but as I went on I ended up skipping through most of it to get back to the plot faster! The story was adorable, the characters warm, and more importantly I could visualize ALL of the locations wonderfully. That is a rare quality to find. I can't wait for more novels from Alyssa and hopefully some in this same "world". I highly recommend this adorable read if you need a pick me up. My review contains only my thoughts, but I did receive a free ARC copy of the book prior to the release.

Thank you to NetGalley and Geek Chic Press for the ARC in exchange for my honest review. I will admit that it took me a little while to get into this book and warm up to the characters. But. . .then I did. This is a cute romantic comedy set in the techy world of Silicon Valley. Casey is somewhat likeable as the female lead as a fashion stylist, but I felt at times she was just a bit over the top critical of Evan. Evan is the techy CEO of Habituall that Casey is tasked with upgrading his style to CEO caliber. I think I struggled with the idea of fashion defining a person and that kind of made the book hard for me to enjoy. I felt the writing style was fine and flowed well.

I really liked the synopse and I had to read the book. I liked Casey and how she was. She didn't let anything or anyone deter her from doing what she had to do. It wasn't easy but she persisted and gone things done. Evan tried to push her away but that didn't work, he fell for her just the same. I have to admit, all the tecnical terms were way over my head and I didn't understand half of it. I liked the secondary characters and all the relationships. I didn't Alex very much, ditching your best friend of years over a boyfriend of a few months it's just not cool, Casey forgave her way too easily. Overall, I liked the book and all of it and I can't wait to read more from this series

Love Apptually is a fun read with great characters! Set in Silicon Valley, this story has many twists and turns. The romance between Casey and EC was a slow burn, grumpy sunshine which drew me right in. I enjoyed the push and pull of their relationship as well as the fact that they were there to support each other.

Casey, a celebrity stylist is dumped by her only client and best friend forcing her to leave her comfort zone and land a new gig as stylist to the new tech start up, Habituall. Habituall founder Evan Chen (EC) is the direct opposite of fashionable but not because he has no sense of style --- let the sparring begin. But when Evan's hold on the company is in jeopardy there is no one better to have in his corner than the one he is falling for.

If you enjoy enemies to lovers and workplace romance then you should check out Love Apptually!

Thank you so much Netgalley and of course
Alyssa Jarrett for the ARC 💐

I will be honest, when I read the premise of the book I expected a different kind of story.
I still read it but for the last few chapters I have skimmed through. The problem here is that everything seemed so shallow and so superficial, honestly it bothered me a lot.
The importance of fashion in this book is so over the top that the character of a person or the way they are it doesn’t matter anymore, only the clothes do 🫠

The relationship between Evan and Casey is so weird, I don’t know how to explain, I felt like they did not work together. Casey not once but many times she humiliates him for the way he dresses and he is ashamed of this like she is 100% right and she refuses to apologise expecting him to come to her even if he is the one who was hurt 😑
She came across as such a judgmental and shallow person with no substance whatsoever.

Yes, as a CEO you need to keep a certain image but in your personal life the person with whom you are with should love exactly as you are, it doesn’t matter if you wear sports clothes everyday, you fall in love not with the clothes but the way the person is, the character, the heart, the mind, the actions and so many other things but definitely not clothes.

Racism and feminism were also some recurrent subjects here but I don’t know, I felt like it did not work.

The conflict at the end was so random and so over the top. The one star is only for Evan and even then in some situations he could have acted differently.

I will still read other future books of the author 🌷

This was a super cute and entertaining rom-com! The writing kept me engaged, making it difficult to put down. I believe this is AJ’s debut novel, which is absolutely incredible. I’m looking forward to reading more of the Glam Fam series and seeing what she comes up with next!

Thank you to NetGalley and Geek Chic Press for the ARC!

Love Apptually by Alyssa Jarrett tells the story of Casey, a smart and savvy stylist whose whole career has been built on styling her famous best friend. When her bestie dumps her out of nowhere, Casey is forced to quickly find another source of employment. She is hired to be the stylist of a rapidly growing startup company called Habituall, but she realizes she has her work cut out for her when she meets the founder and CEO, Evan Chen, in less than appropriate work attire. Their relationship is snarky and strained but has a touch of sexual tension right from the get-go! As their relationship builds, unforseen malice threatens to tear apart Evan's company and his dreams. Casey, refusing to let the man she is starting to care about lose his life's work, devises a clever but risky plan to restore Evan's reputation and his job as Habituall's CEO.

The author, Alyssa Jarret, clearly works in the tech world, and her working knowledge and comfortable writing style allowed her to bring the Habituall world to life. Characters are well thought out, and the plot flows well. It's an entertaining read for sure. Thank you #NetGalley for ARC access!

This novel combines fashion, humor, makeovers and romance.. I really enjoyed it! Thank NetGalley for the opportunity to read this and share my thoughts.

As someone who worked in fashion before working in literary I am beyond excited for this new series! Who doesn’t love a good makeover especially with some swooning romance thrown in! Will be sharing much more soon!
