I really don’t like giving negative reviews but I have to be honest, I didn’t really enjoy this one. In the beginning, I thought the 2 x MCs had potential and I usually like Grumpy / Sunshine romances. Sadie’s career as a textile artist was interesting.

I think the main issue I had with Let’s Give ‘Em Pumpkin was Sadie and Josh were gradually getting to know each other and then suddenly out of nowhere, the spice kicked in. I’m not a prude, at least I don’t think I am but I want to feel like there’s actual chemistry between the two MCs before they get intimate. I felt like there was Slow Burn Sadie and Josh and Insta-Spice Sadie and Josh and instead of being separate stories, the pages got all mixed up.

In addition, Sadie has this complicated relationship with her father, Stu which was made her move to L.A. in the first place but the only scenes we got with them were via phone calls and I didn’t feel like there was any resolution. I did like the relationship between Sadie and her half-sister though.
