The first thing about this book that stands out to me, is the writing style. It's funny, and with a use of vocabulary that stands out, in a very good way.  (As a non-native speaker I went to my e-reader's dictionary a few times, but even that didn't know all words :D ((there is an in-book reason for these words, don't worry, its not the author being a word-grubber as Presti would say :D))

When a was partway into this book, I would have maybe called it a comedy, but then the later parts take a serious turn, that while they fit well within the narrative would be misrepresented if I gave the while book a comedy stamp. One part even made me tear up!

Overall, i really do recommend this, I had a very good time reading it, and I see a reread in my future!

A New Leash on Love was a fun end of year read, perfect for this time of year. My main reason for requesting this book was that I love a romance with pets, I even have a specific tag for it on The Storygraph so I can always give recommendations if people ask :D Olive the dog was a very worthy edition to the tag, little matchmaker that she was.
 
Kit and Shawn were two very distinct main character with clear voices of their own, and they're not afraid of open communication (mostly :P) and I absolutely loved that!

I loved the rep in this, and how it influenced their small town living. it felt realistic without being over the top negative.

Thank you Netgalley and Bella Books for providing me with an ARC!  

BEAcon of Love was a very cute book, and I really liked the anxiety rep in it, I feel it was well done.

The romance was a bit lightning fast for me, but with the setting and 'time limit' it worked.
I really liked that while it is in broad line a famous person / fan book, it's not like the fan was super obsessed levels infatuated with the famous person. It made it a healthier start of their dynamic than some stories have!

I really hope there may be a part two with (trying not to be spoilery here) dynamic of the side characters that happened near the end of the book. Both the gender thing and the other thing sounded like they would make for a really nice new book!
