Book Description 

If all goes to plan, she will check off that last box in a couple years, make her parents proud, and live a successful, fulfilled life in L.A. What was not in her plans was passing out from a panic attack during a pivotal moment in her career. A few deep breaths and a four hour drive later, Lizzy is in Weldon for three weeks to shed the burnout and figure out what went wrong. And what better place to recharge than the small California town where she spent her childhood summers with her best friend, Jack Park.

Jack Park didn’t expect to see Lizzy back in Weldon, but now he’s got three weeks to spend with the girl of his dreams. Except she doesn’t know of his decades-long crush on her–and he intends to keep it that way. She’s a high-powered attorney who lives in L.A. and he’s a bookkeeper at his family’s brewery who never left his hometown. He can’t risk their friendship on a long shot. Can he? When Lizzy decides that the local bookstore needs a little revamp, of course, Jack is going to help her bring it back to life. But the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore there might be more than just friendship among the dusty shelves and books…

Sometimes the path to the rest of your life has been in front of you all along.

My Review 

Lizzy spent her entire life working towards her goal of becoming a star attorney. Actually, this is not her goal per se, but rather the goal she has been expected to achieve. So when she needs some respite, she chooses to return to the one place she was truly happy. 

She reconnects with Jack and the sparks between them are smoldering, but the relationship seems doomed from the start since she can’t just give up a promising legal career to work in a bookstore… Can she? 

This book was a lot of fun. The biggest conflict is the circumstance of knowing that Lizzy will have to go back to her regular life. And I don’t want to minimize the angst surrounding this situation, but sometimes it’s nice not to have a scheming antagonist determined to keep the lovers apart. 

Lizzy and Jack are such a sweet couple. They have great chemistry, but more importantly, they were friends first. So even though they’re seeing each other in a new light, they have a strong foundation together. And that means that they have some hilarious banter and their childhood friendship means they know how to needle each other! 

I would absolutely recommend Booked on a Feeling. Lizzy gets to live every book lover’s dream and work at a bookstore. I am definitely going to keep an eye out for more of Lee’s books in the future.
