Holy WOW! Another amazing book by Sarah Adams! Practice Makes Perfect is the second book of the When in Rome series and can be read as a standalone although, I would highly recommend reading the first book (When in Rome) since it shares so many of the same characters/history.
Annie is the youngest of the Walker family. She has always been seen as the innocent, people pleasing sibling and she was tired of it. She owns the town flower shop , is close with her family but feels like something is missing in her life. She thinks that finding a good man, settling down, getting married and having a few kids may be the answer. Her only problem is that when on dates she clams up and comes across as boring.
In walks Will with a date of his own! He is Annieโs soon-to-be sister-in-law, Ameliaโs sexy, tattooed bodyguard. Will thinks Annie is anything but boring, in fact she is all that he can think about during his date when he ends the night early. His only problem is he is anti-commitment/marriage, he is however, very good at flirting and is known as a serial dater. Amelia comes up with the grand idea of Will teaching Annie how to properly date. He does a great job at this - not only does Annie find a few guys who are now interested in her but Will finds himself interested in her. But she doesnโt fit into his plans.
This book is clean, super cute romcom with some serious Gilmore Girl vibes. I love the connection between Will and Annie. I did feel like Annie was very immature at times but it was really good to see her character development. Will had his own issues to overcome but I loved when his views started to change. I adored seeing the Cinnamon Roll side of Will when he snuck in Annieโs window to cuddle with her when she couldnโt sleep or when he made her favorite soup when she was sick. I really just love everything about him! Even the fact that he realized that he was affected by his dysfunctional parents (with the help of his brother) and that he needed to go to therapy to be able to move on with his life.
My only complaint would be that at times the back and forth of their feelings was a little much. Other than that, I feel that this book is great! Lots of witty banter - itโs a quick read and I canโt
wait to read the next book! I am rounding up for my rating because I just love this family!
