No Words A Novel

Meg Cabot2021
Meg Cabot, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Princess Diaries, returns to Little Bridge Island with a new story about a children’s book author with a case of writer’s block and an arrogant novelist who have to set aside their differences as they get through a weekend long book festival that just might change everything—including their feelings for each other. Don’t Judge a Book by Its Author... Welcome to Little Bridge, one of the smallest, most beautiful islands in the Florida Keys. Jo Wright always swore she’d never step foot on Little Bridge Island—not as long as her nemesis, bestselling author Will Price, is living there. Then Jo’s given an offer she can’t refuse: an all-expense paid trip to speak and sign at the island’s first ever book festival. Even though arrogant Will is the last person Jo wants to see, she could really use the festival’s more-than-generous speaking fee. She’s suffering from a crippling case of writer’s block on the next installment of her bestselling children’s series, and her father needs financial help as well. Then Jo hears that Will is off-island on the set of the film of his next book. Hallelujah! But when she arrives on Little Bridge, Jo is in for a shock: Will is not only at the book festival, but seems genuinely sorry for his past actions—and more than willing not only to make amends, but prove to Jo that he’s a changed man. Things seem to be looking up—until disaster strikes, causing Jo to wonder: Do any of us ever really know anyone?

So a Meg Cabot book comes in and I drop everything I'm reading and pretty much everything I'm doing as well. It's safe to say I'm obsessed with the Little Bridge Island series and I'm always so excited to see a new addition to this adorable town. Jo Wright only agreed to attend the Little Bridge Book Festival because Will Price wouldn't be there, and yet it's five minutes after touching down on the island and everything has changed. I loved the will-they, won't-they of Jo and Will, but a few parts of the book fell short. I really wish we could have learned more about Jo, her back story, her writing, everything. We got bits and pieces throughout the book but I just wanted more. And although some people may like the splices of The Moment throughout No Words, honestly I just skipped through them and didn't find them at all necessary to the story. Overall this was a good book but far from the best Little Bridge Island or Meg Cabot read.

2.5/5. i don’t have any strong feelings about this book. it was alright but it was cringy in my opinion. i didn’t like how the cat language from jo’s books were put in, it was too middle school for me. and the ending? that was not satisfying at all.

i received an arc through netgalley. this book is cute but i feel like the main characters didn’t interact enough for the romance to be completely believable. if the author wanted to keep it mainly physical that’s fine, but then why did she not include the sex scene, just the morning after scene. overall i enjoyed the book but i felt like the main characters needed more interaction

It was an okay book. The romance was cute, albeit a bit underwhelming, and the main character, Jo, frustrated me at times because of her obstinate refusal to be in the presence of Will in the beginning. I still enjoyed "No Words" and had fun reading about its quirky characters. I especially adored Jo's cat phrases throughout the story.

Let me start of by saying I really wanted to love this one. The previous books in the series have been fun and charming but to me this one just didn’t quite get it. Jo spends so much time telling us about how much she hates Will, but then her feelings change almost immediately and there’s not really a good sense of why. It’s very insta-love but without any chemistry. I do adore Jo as a character and Will sounds beautiful if a bit dull, but I found myself uninterested in the story most of the time.

Send all the writer romance books my way, please. I love anything that gives a little peek behind the curtain into the writing world, and this was an adorable romance. I absolutely loved the setting; this was my first book in Meg Cabot’s ‘Little Bridge Island’ series and it was such a charming place. I can’t wait to go back and read the rest. The sun, atmosphere, and general feel the author created made this the perfect read to put you in a good mood! I always enjoy enemies to lovers, and this one didn’t disappoint. The chemistry between the two was perfect, and I was immediately drawn in to Will Price’s world, as was Jo. Even when she didn’t know it yet ;) The chapters of Will’s book that intersected the chapters was a brilliant move, and was a really interesting way to show another perspective. I was a liiittle disappointed by Will’s ‘’big secret’ though. It was a little anti climatic for me, but it did the job. If you are looking for your next read after Beach Read, defiantly pick this one up! Thank you to NetGalley and Little Brown Book Group for the ARC ♥

Cue actual spit take. I’m not totally in love with this book but it does throw out some gems
