Review: Accidentally Amy by Lynn Painter
/Summary
IT STARTED WITH A CUP…
Isabella Shay is usually a very honest person. But when she’s running late for her first day at a dream job and the barista yells for “Amy” 3x with no answer, she does the unthinkable.
Izzy takes that PSL.
It’s the exact drink she ordered and paid for, only waaaay further ahead in the line, so she mutters “I’m Amy” and grabs the cup. But when she turns around and runs directly into the most attractive man she’s ever seen, spilling the drink all over his GQ shirt and tie, she ends up having the ultimate meet-cute. Sparks fly and things feel beyond promising until he says the words, “See you tomorrow, Amy.”
Uh, oh – she’ll definitely have to straighten him out the following day.
Only when she gets to her new office and meets the VP of her department, it is none other than Blake Phillips - the hottie from Starbucks. And the man might’ve been charming to “Amy,” but he is an arrogant grump to Izzy, an arrogant grump who dos not find her explanation funny at all.
MEET CUTE + GRUMPY/SUNSHINE + FRIENDS-TO-LOVERS = ACCIDENTALLY AMY
Review
This was lighthearted fun. From the first page, I was entertained. This is my second book that I’ve read from Lynn Painter, and I’m noticing that she’s really good about writing a great meet cute along with an entertaining fresh story. It’s rom-com perfection. A great meet cute, along with coincidental meetings and the two main characters being like “oh no we have to stay away” but that never works because they just fit so good together. There’s a dash of the miscommunication trope that doesn’t overstay it’s welcome but adds a bit of drama.
Iz is the definition of a walk chaos. Loved her. And Blake is a straight-laced businessman. It’s a great match, which creates one of the best dynamics. Major grumpy/sunshine vibes…sort of.
Final Thoughts
Accidentally Amy was everything I had expected it to be. It was light and fun with a perfect blend of sweet moments and addictive banter.
