“Baby, One More Time” solidifies Camilla Isley’s reign as the queen of romcom novels in my book. Her brilliant storytelling shines through in this engaging and light-hearted addition to her growing collection of romcoms.
Despite the complexity of the main characters’ situations, Isley’s narrative is remarkably easy to follow. Her storytelling prowess, a trademark of her works, makes it not only entertaining but also a delightful escape for those seeking fun and light reads. It’s the perfect remedy for anyone looking to rediscover the joy of reading or break free from the clutches of a reading slump.
Marissa and John’s story, with its twists and turns, is a captivating journey. Isley effortlessly brings out the charm of Blake and Gabriel, this time through Marissa’s perspective. The novel also offers a sneak peek into what’s to come in Thomas’ story, adding to the anticipation.
Marissa and John, as a couple, are both heartwarming and, at times, painfully relatable. The author skillfully navigates the complexities of their past, creating a satisfying and believable rekindling of their romance. Other supporting characters, like Leslie and Nora, add depth to the narrative, bringing humor and sweetness in equal measure.
The Thanksgiving scene evoking Taylor Swift’s “You Belong with Me” music video is a brilliant touch that had me laughing out loud. As “Baby, One More Time” grew on me, I found the combination of the storyline and the Swifty reference to be a perfect match.
If you’re wondering whether to grab a copy when it’s released on January 20th, wonder no more. This wholesome romantic comedy promises the kind of fluttery excitement reminiscent of a first crush. Its easy readability is an added bonus, making it a perfect choice for those stuck in a reading slump.
In summary, “Baby, One More Time” comes highly recommended. Mark January 20th on your calendar, get a copy, and while you’re at it, grab the first one in the series, “Not in a Billion Years.” You can thank me later.
