I really liked this one, too! And I have felt very much in the minority with my opinion. I think you described the book really well. I liked the found family aspect and the corporate intrigue but I understand that everyone won’t. 5 stars for me also.

I couldn't stop looking at your kitty! Precious!

"And Eli... he's just a man" hahaha the way i laughed! 💀

Oh my gosh! You and I are totally opposite on the first two books. You said ‘sometimes a quieter romance is something I really appreciate’ when talking about Not in Love. I feel that way about the rom-commers! Emma and Charlie fall in love in the quietest moments (the middle of the night power washing game scene was my favorite). They are working through their traumas together too. Helping each other through them. And when Emma figured out Charlie’s ‘tell’, that felt legit to me. Then we realize he’s pushing her away as often as he can as his defense mechanism. The characters in Not in Love are SO broken. It’s a dark book. And the good elements of it are absolutely buried beneath WAY too much freakin sex. Eli is absolutely obsessed with her, and at the beginning it gave me creepy-sex guy vibes. The self-discovery for Rue in the sex was nice, but was it even connected with the actual plot? I don’t know. It wasn’t my fav.

Nailed it with your review of the rom-commers. I have the bodyguard and now I’m nervous to read it!

I didn't enjoy Not in Love as much as her other work, I agree that it was less formulaic character wise, but as soon as it was mentioned that her boss was also her "mentor", I basically guessed the ending. That said, I think it's cool that she's trying new things, I'm looking forward to her next one, a swimming sports romance I think.

Your hair looks great 🥰 also I was one of the ones who didn‘t like Not in love 😅 I personally didn‘t see the romantic compatibility and most of the time I was wondering what Eli really sees in Rue because she was so stoic and avoidant and needed to go to therapy so bad. 🙊 Besides, his ex sounded amazing and him comparing Rue to her in his mind was a little jarring. This was Ali‘s least romantic book for sure but she‘s a great writer in general, so it was still very compelling of course. ^^

I have an e-arc of the Rom-commers but haven’t read it yet!

Great reading vlog💕. Your review of Not in love is one of the only positive reviews I've seen for it but I'm going to move it up my tbr. I have no idea what I'm going to think about it (I either love spice scenes or I'm indifferent to them) but I'm excited to read it.

If you want to be actually scared but without paranormal aspects, you might want to read a slasher instead of thrillers

I have been liking Ali Hazelwood's books even more this year!

Ever since I saw you add Not in Love on Goodreads I have been anticipating your review! Super glad you loved it! I read my first Ali Hazelwood last year (Love Theoretically) and it was my top book of the year. After reading Not in Love I’m confident that if it’s not my favorite of the year it’ll definitely be in the top 5!

this book was pretty average and the sex scenes were so porn-like. i didnt feel like they were romantic at all if that even has a space in the book. i also felt like none of the real get-to-know-you was on the page, and all the crap jokes and teasing was so one-note by the end of the book. i ended up giving it 2 stars but id read the second one if it was a buddy read. went down like water. couldve finished it in a day it was really easy to read.

pls what is your nail color

I really appreciate your take on Not in Love. It wasn't for me and I ended up DNFing, but the way you articulated the things you liked about it made sense to me. Love a good thoughts and feelings video!

Not In Love is a 5 star read for me too! Ali just knows her shit. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I feel like Not In Love really showed Ali Hazelwood’s range as an author. It was a 5 star for me also and even though it wasn’t my favorite of hers, I think it was my favorite example of how great of an author she is. This compared to her debut feels like it was written by a completely different author and I mean that as a compliment. Since her debut I feel like she has only improved and improved and improved again.

“I know that Ali Hazelwood is just gonna fuck ya know?” Lmaooo so true girl

not in love was one of the few books i was able to get to this month and i loooved it !

❤

everyone from the uk sitting here thinking about how hilarious it is that the mc in the third book is called Katie price

I can’t read a book with the FMC being called Katie Price 😂 do Americans know who Katie Price is or is that a British thing?

🐕💛✨

I can’t keep up with all the new romance releases lately, so this is really helpful! 😊

You convinced me to give Ali Hazelwood another chance. I hated The Love Hypothesis. I cringed and rolled my eyes through that entire book. But I'll give this new one a try.

Does the Rom-Commers plot sound a lot like the Beach Read plot? Sorry if you say that in this video and I missed it 😅

Between check & mate, bride, and now not in love, ali hazelwood has had me in a chokehold all damn year 🤠

💜💜💜

I really enjoyed Everyone I Kissed Since You Got Famous (and not just for the cats, who were AWESOME). I was cheering on Katie and Wil the whole time. They both seemed so big-hearted, and the way they recognized and honored each other’s talents and intelligence was just as hot as the physical attraction between them. This one’s five stars for me.

I just picked up the new Ali Hazelwood, so thanks for the heads up that it’s a departure from her usual tone!

Not in love was my FIRST Ali book! I absolutely ATE IT UP! The way that the spice was handled was amazing to me. Infinity ♾️ stars from me. It makes me a little sad that people didn’t like it. I feel like people didn’t heed the author’s note in the beginning. If they don’t like spice, they probably wouldn’t like it. I loved it! 😍

Do you think it's a good idea for writers to check character names to see if there are any famous people with that name? Katie Price is a very famous glamour model in the UK who has also gone by the professional name Jordan. I was picturing the UK Katie Price every time the name was mentioned. If anyone who doesn't know of Katie Price I'd recommend checking out her version of 'A Whole New World' with Peter Andre (the Australian singer she married after meeting on I'm a Celebrity Get Me Our of Here).

i was dying to hear your thoughts after your review on goodreads! i’m just so happy i finally found someone who enjoyed “not in love” by ali hazelwood as much as i did! 😭♥️ it was a really different recipe than her previous books and she honestly nailed it. glad you enjoyed it, chandler! ✨ p.s. your hair looks so good!!

A new all time favourite?? I’m sat and ready to add to my never ending constantly expanding tbr 📚 I’ve heard a lot of mixed opinions on Not in Love. My favourite Ali Hazelwood I think is Love Theoretically (I haven’t read her novella series) I’ve heard it’s more smutty than her other ones. But I’ll read it and I’m actually going to see her talk next month and I’m so so excited my first ever author talk. Also can’t wait for her next release deep end💖

I agree with the Rom-Commers, was just underwhelmed and I like some Katherine Center book, but felt a little disappointed with this one

Must point out - the OG UT is the University of TENNESSEE. 🤪 I do prefer y'all's shade of orange though, not gonna lie.

Massive content warning for Not in Love-the male main character’s narration includes SEVERAL instances of “rapey” internal monologue. I don’t know what other word to use-but he makes mention several times of what it would be like to take without asking, or to do things without her consent, etc. her other books have NOT contained things like this that I’ve noticed, and I think it’s irresponsible to make it sound like the only thing that’s off-putting is that it’s not a romcom. I’m not even a survivor and I felt extremely uncomfortable.

I am so excited!! Love your vids and want to know your thoughts on all of these!

Es util la Biblia hoy?

❤

don’t let her stay by nicola sanders is a great page turner!!

the only thriller i REALLY liked was "None of this is true" by Lisa Jewell, literally could not put it down!! very interesting and engaging, highly recommend

If you didn't like the lack of an emotional core in Episode 4 (which I agree with, I also find it particularly emotionless and boring at times) then you need to watch Rogue One. It's set before Episode 4 and it's the only Star Wars media that has made me cry. I've also never found Darth Vader particularly scary until his appearance in Rogue One (if you know you know).

The prequel trillogy is way better than the orig trig. It is a complex character exploration and 4-6 are just Dambuster fanfiction

I’m not sure how much you’ll be interested in this, but I really enjoyed That’s Not My Name by Megan Lally even though I don’t usually find myself having the best luck with YA books recently as I’ve gotten older

I would recommend The Last Word by Taylor Adams for a fast-paced, kinda ridiculous, but highly entertaining popcorn thriller

You're hilarious 😂 had so much fun watching this !

Love the vid!! Also your hair looks gorgeous omg 💜
