Thanks to Partner NetGalley and Books Go Social for the digital ARC of Sophie Sinclair's Lindsey Love Loves in exchange for an honest review. The book is available for purchase.

Sophie Sinclair's
Lindsey Love Loves is a ride of a rom-com that both strained my credulity and made me laugh often. This sweet, funny novel centers on Lindsey Love, an up-and-coming YouTube food critic who finally has her big break: a deal for her own television series. The only catch? Nick Elliot, the producer she most definitely would NOT have chosen to accompany her on her food tour through Europe. This enemies-to-lovers romance has some scenes worthy of a film adaptation (their first European stop at a restaurant that serves exotic animals, much to Lindsey's horror, would be perfect on film) and some wild twists that I won't spoil her. What makes this one fun are the characters: Lindsey is an over-the-top, exuberant, impulsive joy, and the more serious Nick is the perfect balance. This one is super steamy and so much fun.
