In a Jam

this book was slowwwwwww. and i couldn't really connect with the characters.

This was my first time listening to an audio book and I loved it. I loved the way the author wrote and the double POVs. Noah was my favourite character!! At first I wasn’t to sure of him but after a while he grew on me. I find it hard reading and understanding women who blame themselves for things men do to them, so I wasn’t too keen on Shay. She just kept having a pity party for herself but I guess without it the book wouldn’t have been as good as it was. Need to read more books by this author…definitely !!!!!

When Shay Zucconi's fiance calls her as she is getting dressed for their wedding to tell her that he can't go through with it, she decides to move back to Friendship, Rhode Island into the house that her step-grandmother, Lollie, left her.  Since Lollie stipulated in her will that Shay must be married within a year to permanently inherit the house and tulip farm, Noah Barden offers to enter into a marriage of convenience with the stipulation that he will help her with the tulip farm and get her idea for a wedding business off the ground. Shay has no idea that Noah has been carrying a torch for her since they went their separate ways after high school and relishes the idea that she will be his wife, no matter what the reason.

In a Jam is a well written slow burn romance that sizzles with an enjoyable cast of characters.  The love story is fully fleshed out as Shay tries to figure out what she wants to do with the rest of her life, and Noah attempts to convince her to stay.   Ginnie, Noah's niece, adds humor to the story and serves as a reason for Noah and Shay to spend more time together.  Both Noah and Shay experience differing levels of anxiety that, for the most part, appear to be realistic, but at times, seem over the top, especially from Shay.  Dramatic events are spaced evenly and avoid pacing problems.  Overall, In a Jam is an exceptional romance that offers an entertain plot and characters.

Overall I felt like this book dragged on but every issue I have with this book is irrelevant because of of Noah Barden.

This man. THIS FREAKING MAN. I am having such a hard time finding the words to describe how much I love him. He is the best MMC I have ever read. I can say for a fact that I almost gave this book 5 stars just for him. He made this book, without him this book was meh at best.

Onto other things. Shay(the FMC) was good, the plot was okay. The writing kinda dragged. I will say there were a lot of interesting twists on some classic tropes that I did like. Small town romances are usually a hit or miss for me, and this one sadly was a miss.

Overall I did like it, I think I just had higher expectations. I would definitely recommend this book solely for my Bread Baker Daddy!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍

Kinda cheesy… kinda cringey. The whole “wife” bit all the time was kind of annoying. Sex scenes were good though… 🌶️ I also did really love the rambunctious child (Gennie) in this book with her pirates and cursing LOL!

it was really good in the beginning, but the book was honestly too long for the plot. i got bored half way through, which rarely happens. there wasn’t enough conflict and the pet names were too cringey for me so i had to skim through the last bits of the book.

NOAH BARDEN I THINK I"M ACTUALLY IN LOVE WITH YOU. SHAY ZUCCONI I AM ALSO IN LOVE WITH YOU.

this book had basically all of my favorite things 
-single parent
-badass kid
-childhood friends-to-lovers
-SMALL TOOOWWWWWNNNNN
 
I am ready to pick up my life and go back to the farm I grew up on and fall in love with the only guy who ever cared for me. 

let's start with my girl Shay..she is a better woman than me bcs if my fiance abandoned me five minutes before we were meant to be walking down the aisle...he would no longer be living. to say this woman took all her parts and rebuilt herself would be an understatement. with the help of Noah and Ginnie, she found herself and what she wants. she's no longer overly concerned about what others may think and I'm so happy for her. she has found her family and I'm so proud of her. also she had the best friends a person could ever ask for. 

NOAAHHHHH!!! NOAH MY MAN. this man is delicious and has the dirtiest mouth but my all-time favorite thing is when geeks about farm stuff but specifically jam. it is the cutest most scrumdiddlyumptious thing in the entire world. my man got his girl back the same girl he's loved since HIGH SCHOOL. he was so patient with her and refused to ever let her talk badly about herself. also, he's kinda an awesome surrogate dad to his niece which also makes him hot. i love him and I want him but I also want him to stay with Shay. 

Imogen, you are the most badass, hilarious, swearing-like-a-sailor child I've ever read about and I love you. 

loved every second of this book.

I mostly liked it, but it didn’t need to be so long. I wouldn’t be recommending it to anyone in my life. I liked the writing so I might read another book from the author if it’s not too long! This book just wasn’t my jam
