This was such a sweet and addicting romance that I almost read in one sitting but it was still under 24 hours! Dani and Zoey were an absolute dream! I loved everything about them - their chemistry was enthralling and the relationships within everyone were endearing. The ending felt a little abrupt but I'll put that down to being quite a short and fast read, you're so invested in everything, the ending just came around far too fast!

I enjoyed this. I had no idea that it was part of a series and I understood it all perfectly well, so it can be read as a standalone too.
This book is the story of Dani, a single mother, and Zoey a librarian and author. Plenty of book talk in there then. They are brought into contact when Dani's son joins a club held at the library.
It's more of a novella than a full size book but it seems to be just the right length for the story that was told.
There's a lot about family, acceptance, loss, found family, small town living, everyone knowing your business and finding yourself.
I liked it.

This is my first book of this standalone series, heck it was my first book by Karmen Lee but you bet its not going to be my last I already purchased Book 1 and 2 of the awesome Peach Blossom series.

I instantly fell in love with the characters. They were likable and relatable, and the two main protagonists were just super cute, and honestly, they were just made for each other.

The story itself is really well written, flowed nicely, and just generally made me feel good, I mean, like being enveloped in a giant cuddle kinda good. I really didn't want it to end.

Something I highly appreciated was just how real some of the themes within the story were. For example, the whole single mum trying to date but beating herself up about it kinda thing, and the kid having strong mixed emotions over his dsd getting married, etc. Like this shiz happens for real everyday, so it's great reading about it in stories and seeing how the characters overcome these real-life issues.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with a digital copy.

A nice story about two women Dani and Zoey who meet at a library when Dani is picking her son up. Zoey invites Dani to the bookclub she runs and the pair hit it off. A nice uplifting story.
Thank you for the advanced copy.

This book was really cute! I liked it a lot, it just felt very short and simple which made it an easy read but I wanted more! Very enjoyable

The Secret Crush Book Club is a cozy, gently funny, warmhearted novel about finding love. Zoey works in a library, and when she meets Dani one day she feels an instant attraction, but the path to true love is never straight and easy! What follows is a page turning, very readable story about how Zoey and Dani finally manage to connect. I enjoyed dipping into their world, and found the novel to be escapist and uplifting.
