4.5 Stars! Heartfelt, Hilarious, and Oh-So Relatable
It’s A Love Story by Annabel Monaghan stole my heart and left me with a goofy grin. This book was a delightful mix of slow-burn romance, personal growth, and witty banter that had me hooked from page one.
Jane Jackson, former sitcom star and now a determined Creative Executive, is a walking contradiction—trying to outrun her awkward past while faking confidence in a cutthroat industry. Her journey begins with a desperate fib about her “close connection” to mega pop star Jack Quinlan, which leads her straight into the orbit of her so-called nemesis, Dan Finnegan. Spoiler alert: Dan is anything but a nemesis.
The chemistry between Jane and Dan? Off the charts. Their banter is sharp, their connection undeniable, and their week together on Long Island felt like stepping into a cozy rom-com. Dan’s chaotic, loving family only adds to the charm, grounding the story in warm, messy reality.
Monaghan brilliantly balances humor and heart, making Jane’s emotional journey feel authentic and really relatable. I mean who hasn't hidden under the covers, the desk or in a closet when they are anxious or nervous? Watching her shed her polished facade and embrace her true self was as satisfying as the romance itself. And that romance? A masterclass in slow-burn perfection.
While the final conflict felt a tad dramatic, it didn’t detract from the overall joy of the story. This book is a warm hug wrapped in clever dialogue and endearing characters. I want to be a part of Clan Finnegan please and thank you.
If you’re in the mood for a heartfelt, hilarious, and beautifully crafted love story, It’s A Love Story is your next must-read. Preorder it now—you’ll thank me later!
