Book Review – ‘Accidentally Amy’ by Lynn Painter

Synopsis

Isabella Shay is usually a very honest person. But when she’s running late for her first day at her dream job and the barista yells for “Amy” three times with no answer, she does the unthinkable.

Izzy takes that PSL.

It’s the exact drink she ordered and paid for, only way further ahead in the queue—and she’ll take whatever bad karma is coming for her; she’s desperate and very late. But when she turns around and runs directly into the most attractive man she’s ever seen, spilling the drink all over his made-for-GQ shirt and tie, she ends up having the ultimate meet-cute. Karma who? Sparks fly and things feel beyond promising, until he says to her: “See you tomorrow, Amy.”

Izzy reasons she can just straighten things out the next day, no biggie. 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 does not find her explanation funny at all. But day by day, an attraction simmers between them and they’ll have to find a way to work together without ripping each other’s heads—or clothes—off.

My Thoughts

I have been a huge fan of Lynn Painter for a while now, so when I got the ARC of Accidentally Amy, I did a little dance. Just like her past book, the writing was witty and made me chuckle. The pop culture references were woven into the book so well.

Now I’m not sure if it’s because I’ve been doing a re-watch of Gilmore Girls or what, but the way Lynn wrote Izzy the main female to me seemed like Lorelai.  Izzy loves coffee and is top of her game with pop culture references and comes back to what people say.  I have to say having Izzy be klutzy is something I feel like all of us could relate to. With Lynn’s writing, she made Blake the total opposite and someone who follows the rules to the T.

Having these two get together and try and figure everything out really made Accidently Amy a great read.  And having the book start off with the favorite Fall drink PSL it feels like a great Fall read.  That means between Gilmore Girls episodes you can pick up Accidentally Amy and still have that great Fall feeling.

Accidentally Amy is a great read and gets 4 and a half stars for a rating and has a spice level of 3 chilli peppers.  Between the spice and the romance, this is a read you’ll love from start to finish.  Accidentally Amy is out now and available wherever you get your books.
