This short story was so cute and heartwarming; the thrift store as a setting was so cool and innovative. I loved the characters and their values, even tho it was a short story, I liked the pace of the relationship. I found the dialogue between the fmc and the mmc's ex a bit immature, it was a lot like something the mean girl high schooler would say to the asocial girl, so I didn't like that aspect.
Overall it was a quick and beautiful story.

Thrifted Hearts by T. Atkins is the kind of romance that feels like a warm cup of tea on a quiet afternoon. It is cozy, comforting, and left me smiling long after I finished it. I absolutely loved this story. It is a sweet and uplifting journey about finding yourself, embracing change, and opening up to love.

Anna Davenport’s decision to leave behind the life others chose for her was so empowering. Watching her grow into her own and figure out what truly matters was one of my favorite parts. Noah Whitmore was equally engaging. He is thoughtful, sincere, and searching for something deeper than what he has always known. Together, their connection felt real and genuine.

T. Atkins writes with warmth and clarity, creating characters that feel like people you could actually meet. The pacing was just right, and the setting added a cozy charm to the whole experience.

If you enjoy short romances that are cute, heartwarming, and full of personal growth, Thrifted Hearts is one to add to your list. I only wish it had been a little longer because I didn’t want it to end.

This is a very cute, cozy romance. The plot moves very quickly, being a novella, but the time line of the plot means that the romance takes a logical amount of time to form. The meet ups and coincidences do feel a bit to neat and tidy, or that the universe is pushing the couple together, but again, that's mostly due to the length of the book. If you want a quick, cute romance then this is a good one to grab. I read this e-book through NetGalley.

An adorable novella that combines two of my favourite things - thrift stores and romance. Noah and Anna’s story is lovely and highlights that appearances and wealth aren’t always everything if someone doesn’t have love and compassion. An incredibly sweet little short story that left me wanting more of their story - even though it did end on a happy note.

This romance is about two people from affluent families who meet one day in a thrift store and find their lives changed when sparks fly but when one of them keeps a secret about their real identity from the other can instalove overcome all?
This novella was a very fast read. That is the best o can say about. Everyone and everything that happened felt like such a stereotype that it was painful to make it through this less than 100 page story.
I would not recommend this to anyone and can only give this at most 2⭐️

Short and sweet romance novella! This was a sweet and easy read without dragging out the drama of will they won't they. I liked that Anna pushed Noah to better himself and not continue to go with the flow of his family's wished.

Wasn't a huge fan of this short story. I think the overall premise is cute but ultimately the development is lacking. The characters were flat and a bit insufferable. Neither the instalove or tension was believable and felt incredibly forced. There were a few really good scenes that didn't feel you were reading a 94-page novella, but they were woven together in such a rushed manner that you lost that enjoyment. There was a lot of potential for this story, I just wish it was longer so that the development could have happened.
