3.5⭐️ 0🌶️ This was such a cute short read. I love a good billionaire romance story and this one had the twist of the main characters not wanting to be a part of "old money" and wanting to good with their trust funds. T. Atkins did a great job putting a lot of back story in to set the stage to end this novella up in a cute little bow! Their friends Jessie and Carter had me laughing as well, and love they also got their HEA!

Cute, sweet and short. A great read when you are in between longer books and just want something quick! I would recommend this to anyone who like clean Romance books. Looking forward to more from This author!

I'm so glad I requested this. I had never heard of this author but I absolutely LOVE thrifting and I loved the idea of having a book that talks about it. That's super unique and appealed to me. For a novella, I would say i enjoyed this from start to finish. I read it pretty quickly because the writing was so easy to keep me interested. This was a super cute, unique, fun read with enough romance and cheesiness to make you smile at times. This was very right to the point and relatable. I will definitely look for more books by this author.

Awww what a sweet book.
Anna and Noah were so cute.
Noah,s ex was awful! What a horrible person.
A love story set in a thrift store ! I love that !
Anna was a lovely character.
Her ex wasn’t great either. Her and Noah hit of so quickly but it worked for the story.

This was a short bite sized story but so sugary sweet and powerful. Enough to give you a toothache how sweet it was but in the best possible way .

The book is sweet! For a novella, it’s like a nice dessert if you want to have something nice and quick. The plot isn’t too complicated but still has this sub plot that motivates the characters and push and pull them into the romance. It’s nicely hits the sweet spot for a novella.

What don’t work for me is simply I got confused about the characters’ age and where all the character knew each other before the story has begun (esp Anna and Taylor, were they a high school friends?). I’ll be really nice it the author gives just a liiiiittle bit context.

Anyway I really enjoy this book!

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC!
Oh what a fun little novella! It was a very substantial story for it only being 94 pages!
Noah and Anna were cute, and I appreciate how simple the story was, and there was no long drawn out will they won't they. 
I really enjoyed that Noah and Anna were able to connect as their true selves, and not feel pressured by their status.

Such a sweet novella. What can I say? I love a meet cute and I love a thrift store! This is definitely the kind of story you can read in one sitting with a warm mug of hot cocoa. I enjoyed the character development between our main characters. I’d love to see another story featuring the side characters as well!

Thank you T. Atkins and NetGalley for the ARC!

I want to thank NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of this title in exchange for an honest review! :)

This was so cute! I love a good little romance novella that gets straight to the heart of the story. I’m not a fan of drama being dragged on for an unnecessary amount of time — so novellas are perfect for me. I hope to read more of them soon!

Noah + Anna charmed me! Their relationship was so sweet & I loved watching it blossom while they were being the most authentic versions of themselves. I also enjoyed the thrift shop setting! Nicky made an impression on me even though we weren’t able to spend much time with her character.

I don’t want to spoil anything — so I’ll keep this bit brief — but I also enjoyed the side character romance that we received! I would love to read more about them!

The only moment that I wasn’t the biggest fan of was Noah + Carter being soo surprised that Anna invited Noah to a burger restaurant. That felt a little absurd to me? I’m not close with any extremely wealthy individuals, though, so it’s possible that that’s what they’re really like (and I’m just unaware).

I’m glad that there were no loose ends with this one! The threads were all pulled through and completed in a way that felt satisfying. If we get a sequel novella in the future, then I will absolutely be present for it! <3

This was my first T. Atkins book, but I’m excited to read more of their work! This was a great introduction! :)

Aprender que dejarse llevar podría ser el primer paso para encontrarse a sí misma y enamorarse.

Anna Davenport siempre ha vivido su vida según un plan, el plan de sus padres, para ser exactos. Pero cuando ese mundo comenzó a sentirse más como una jaula que como un sueño, Anna tomó una decisión audaz: se alejó de la vida que todos los demás habían elegido para ella y se dispuso a construir algo real, algo completamente propio.

Lo que ella no esperaba encontrar era a Noah Whitmore.

Noah Whitmore ha pasado su vida tratando de demostrar que es más que un apellido. Ha terminado con su madre tratando de engañarlo y está cansado de las relaciones superficiales. Ahora está concentrado en hacer algo diferente. Simplemente no sabía lo que era ese algo hasta que se enontró con Anna.

Pero cuando Anna se permite reconectarse con el pasado que dejó atrás, todos los secretos que ha estado evitando comienzan a salir a la superficie. Y ahora Noah se pregunta si el futuro que comenzó a imaginar con Anna se basó en la verdad o en la ilusión.



Es una lástima que sea tan corto.

¿Y el epílogo?



Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest

I loved loved LOVED this book! Personally, my favorite was the one between Anna and Jessie. I just love to see various friends dynamics in books!! But Noah and Anna are the cutest and I would totally love to see more of them!! The whole clock scenario was, I think, the most perfect way to connect the two characters and give them reasons to keep going back to each other again and again. The strained relationship between Anna and her mother also added to the depth of the story, reeling you in to the raw/realness of it all! Overall, I loved this cute little quick read and would loveee to re-read around autumn!

3 stars

This novella starts with a meet cute at a thrift store between a volunteer and a man whose ex girlfriend donated a prized heirloom in a petty fit of rage. I love getting right to the point of a story and being able to start and finish in one sitting.

If you're in the mood for a cheesy, Hallmark story, this might be for you! There's not a ton of conflict except for a couple mean girl antics, so this is perfect for a happy, sweet short story.

We only got to be surface level with the characters since it was such a short book and it wasn't incredibly memorable. There is no spice to language.

What I didn't like: The mean girl was named Taylor and she was the worst. Have you ever read a book with a character that has the same name as you?

This was cute, but it makes the assumption that most rich people are vapid and uncaring. Eating a burger with a milkshake?! Oh my! Volunteering at a thrift shop?! The horrors! I’d like to think that the wealthy have a bit more substance than that.

I really enjoy cute and warm reads, and this one did make my heart flutter. Noah and Anna's love story is truly amazing, and I definitely found this book recommendable, especially since it's a short read.

Thank you T. Atkins and Netgalley for the ARC!

This is a very cute short story! The characters are very loveable (shout out Anna’s dad). I found parts about the money and lifestyle to be a little out of touch. The main characters were sweet but honestly the best friends were better. I hope they get their own novella. Quick, easy, heartwarming read

Thank you T. Atkins and Netgalley for the ARC!

this is the example of a book that you would read in an afternoon in the sun while drinking a cocktail and you would have an amazing time.

the story is a bit of a cliché with the rich girl deciding that her life’s purpose is to help others and leave behind most of the things she has but what’s wrong with some cliché? and also noah is a dream!!
the conflict seemed a bit forced. given that they didn’t know each other that well, it’s normal that she might not have told him everything. i loved carter and jessie and would personally love to read a story about them!

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.
