I kinda sorta see why some people didn’t really like this book. Elle/ Theo finally got together in the end. Saw a few mistakes. I don’t think I saw them confess their feelings but only the attraction towards each other. Was decent enough.

Special thanks to Emma Hart for the advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

When I received the advance copy for Emma Hart’s Hot Mess, I went in knowing what would happen based on the perfectly manicured formula Emma has concocted over the last few years.

But you know what? I was wrong and I am all about being wrong. Is there still sarcasm? Of course. Is there still a quirky grandmother squad running around? You bet ya!

But what made this book different is Elle’s character. After being set up, Elle finds herself in the Florida Keys hiding in a beach cottage owned by one hot British single father and his adorable nine year old daughter. Theo does not like or trust Elle at first. But what he soon realizes – and so does the reader – is that Elle is not who she seems to be. She’s not irrelevant. She’s not really even a hot mess. She’s smart, funny and cares more about how the scandal will effect the young girls that watch her YouTube challenge more than how it effects her. She has more depth.

Overall, Hot Mess is going down as one of my favorite Emma Hart novels. It’s a super fun, quirky break from reality. Plus, It is an enemies to lovers – my favorite troupe.

3.5⭐️ - I listened to this on audiobook. It was a cute/fast read - obviously not a lot of depth. It had funny / laugh out loud moments and great characters.

I loved this one! I read it in one sitting and didn’t want it to end. Elle was a perfect heroine and was definitely a hot mess. Theo was a dream - I love a good single dad. I loved the people of Creek Keys and can’t wait for more from Emma Hart.

I thought this book was cute. I loved the banter with Elle and Theo. I loved the relationship between Elle and Ari. The side characters were great too.

But the editing in this book was awful. Wrong words all over that changed the meaning of the sentence that didn't make sense. So I had to stop and re-read the sentence and then you realize it's the wrong word.

It had a good ending, but I wish we would've had more of that in the book. The ending is the only reason I added an extra star to what I originally wanted to give.

Cute

There wasn't a lot to this one and I definitely wouldn't call it steamy but Hart managed to make characters I'd normally find obnoxious, likeable so I find that super impressive. I feel like there should have been a little more to the story but overall I liked it

Chirp Audiobook: I really enjoyed this story. Just a straightforward romance with a side plot of why women should be careful when they choose who to date.
