This book is so darn cute! I loved the relationship between the two sisters. Despite how different they are from each other, they still manage to have a close relationship with each other filled with love, respect and good old English humour. I absolutely enjoyed the two paths that the sisters followed. This story is filled with banter, humour, geeky quirks yet maintained the genuine connection between the characters and the maturity of the decisions that each character had to face.

It was really, really. really boring. And the writing was annoying.

If you’re on the hunt for a charming, feelgood book, this is the book for you.
Sarah and Molly are sisters who lost their parents in a car accident early in life and have since then only each other. They’re very diffenrent but close. Sarah lives with her boyfriend Niall and Molly is single, although she has a huge crush on her boss. The question is: how will she make him fall in love with her?
I enjoyed this well written book and really rooted for Molly and Sarah.

"The Love Solution" was a quirky book about two sisters with a strong bond, Molly and Sarah. Sarah is a craft business owner and Molly is a scientist. When Sarah breaks up with her long-term boyfriend, she turns to Molly to help her take a more scientific approach to dealing with the heartbreak.
Initially, the cover and the STEM theme are what drew me to the book. While I enjoyed following the sisters perspectives on navigating love, I struggled in the middle of novel. The sisters make a choice that really made no sense to me and almost made me not want to finish the book. I felt like it was introduced as a pretty serious issue, but no one actually acted like it was serious. It's hard to sum up without giving away too many spoilers! All was resolved eventually.
While I enjoyed the story, I didn't really connect with the characters and felt as if Molly and Sarah were telling two different stories. Yes the stories did have some overlap, but it felt like there was a lack of connection between the sisters besides the dialogue between them.
2.5/5 stars from me, but I would recommend this to readers looking for an easy romance!

Dnf, could not get into it for the life of me. I didn't hate it, I was bored I think.

I really enjoyed the sister bond that Sarah and Molly had. I thought it was sweet how hard Sarah worked to keep their little family together, and it was nice to see that Molly really did see and appreciate what Sarah had done for her.
I also really enjoyed (most of) the Molly and Ewan relationship. I liked that there was a buildup to their relationship, and that they had sort of seemed to create a semi-friendship. All relationships begin differently, and I felt like this relationship was realistic, unlike most romance books.
However, this story just totally missed the mark for me.
While I really like Liam's character, he was hardly in the story but was all of a sudden in love with Sarah? I just didn't believe it. And he was fine to just wait in the shadows until she made up her mind? How selfish of her. For someone who said it had taken him a while to find someone he enjoyed and wanted to spend time with after his wife died, I was surprised that he would so quickly like Sarah. I just wish there had been more build up to their relationship.
Also, I thoroughly disliked Niall. I disliked his storyline, his inability to make decisions and stick with them, his self absorption, etc. I get why he was necessary, but man oh man. Didn't like him.
Lastly, I felt like the description for this story was inaccurate. Sarah was sad, but she didn't seem *that* sad until all of a sudden she was. She wasn't really pushy about the Love Bug either. But the description makes it seem like she was, and that it was a big plot in the story for Sarah. I checked the percentage of book completed when this was mentioned and it was close to 65% into the book. I'd read over half the book before it even mentioned using the Love Bug to help Sarah.
I'm disappointed as I wanted to love this book. Thanks for the opportunity to read it!

I loved this book! I thought it was just going to be a light chick lit, which in many ways it was but it had real substance there too.
The characters had depth, and backstories that were to the point and well thought out.
I’m sad to have finished it actually and would quite like a follow up!

Ashey Croft tells the story of two sisters who could not be more different, but that is my favorite thing about them. After the death of their parents eighteen year old Sarah becomes the guardian of her little sister, Molly, and nothing is ever the same. After New Year's both sisters are dealing with relationship nightmares and they have to figure out how to move forward when the unexpected happens in their relationships.
At times, I found both sisters trying, but having a sister myself I find this relatable and accurate. Croft tells a story of two people who love each other more than anyone else and how they find partners to move forward with. Full of quirky humor and adventures, and no small amount of exercise (cycling really?) Molly and Sarah's story is a keeper.

This was a cute light-hearted read, and I really liked the cover! I liked the relationship between the two sisters, Molly & Sarah and enjoyed their story. The ending was a little predictable but it was a fun read overall. Would recommend for a quick book to read on the beach.

This book made me laugh out loud at times. I really enjoyed the dynamic between the sisters and certain moments definitely pulled at the heartstrings. I much preferred one of the love stories to the other, which is often the case. Overall, it wasn't a hit-out-of-the park romance for me but it was cute at times and easy to read. The Britishness always bumps it up just a touch for me, too.
