By Any Other Name

De: Lauren Kate

Narrado por: Brittany Pressley

From # 1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Kate comes an enemies-to-lovers romance about an editor, her bestselling author, and one life-changing secret.

What she doesn't know about love could fill a book.

With a successful career as a romance editor, and an engagement to a man who checks off all ninety-nine boxes on her carefully curated list, Lanie's more than good. She's killing it. Then she’s given the opportunity of a lifetime: to work with world-renowned author and her biggest inspiration in love and life—the Noa Callaway. All Lanie has to do is cure Noa's writer's block and she'll get the promotion she's always dreamed of. Simple, right?

But there's a reason no one has ever seen or spoken to the mysterious Noa Calloway. And that reason will rock Lanie’s world. It will call into question everything she thought she knew. When she finally tosses her ninety-nine expectations to the wind, Lanie may just discover that love By Any Other Name can still be as sweet.

Lauren Kate did it again

Another wonderful book that I couldn't get through fast enough!! not my typical genre of choice but as a huge fan of the author I decided to give it a shot. It's wonderful.

Cute

Ok, this was CUTE. I overall liked our characters and the storyline - Lanie is a romance book editor living in NYC and gets the opportunity to work with her favorite author, who she finds out is not who she thought she was. I loved the NYC setting and the premise itself (even if the "twist" was not surprising at all), and I loved Lanie's grandmother, BD! Sadly, a few things fell flat for me:
- this was marketed as an enemies-to-lovers... it is def not lol
- felt like the characters themselves needed more development
- the ending... I just felt like there was a lot left on the table... I wanted to see what happened AFTER that... kinda felt like a cop-out instead of actually finishing the story?
- TOO SLOW BURN - look I love a good slow burn, but that comes with a ALOT of character and story development because it makes the payoff that much better! These two didn't even kiss until the second to last page so... you've been warned :)

I would def put this more in a Fiction category (vs. Romance) as I felt this story was more around Lanie's journey to self-discovery but I still enjoyed it. If you're looking for a sweet, low-angst, closed-door, and slow burn story - then this is the book for you!

Rating: 3.5 stars

Perfection

I loved everything about this. The narration was perfect for the character, and the story was such a magical combination of fun and sweet and moving. The story within a story brought tears to my eyes, only to then pick back up to the main story again. All the feels without unnecessary or eye roll inducing melodrama. Highly recommend this book!

Sweet love story

Loved it. I enjoyed the characters and story line. It was simple yet such an engaging plot.

Loved it

Thoroughly enjoyed reading/listening to this audiobook. Great story! Great narration! Loved the happily ever after.

Love story. ❤️

Could have done without all the political references but overall was a good story! Wasn’t super predictable either!

Entertaining but not realistic

It was a decent read. I enjoyed the story. I found each time they bumped into each other to be unrealistic. The story felt a little far fetched but I still enjoyed reading it.

I wanted to love this 😩

I wanted to love this, and it started out SO good. But by the middle, I wanted to scream at our protagonist. I just couldn’t even stand to listen to her complain about certain things because it was so petulant. Now, I would love to get a story on her grandma BD. Now that’s a damn story.

Better than I could have imagined

I've always loved Lauren Kate but I was nervous about an adult romance. My fears mean nothing. This story is amazing and I can't wait to read it over and over again. The characters are so real, so human, so relatable that you can't help but go through everything with them. I will be recommending this book to everyone I know. Absolutely fantastic!

I had to stop listening

someone what spoiler...


did not care over the cursing someone because of their identity... thought that went to far... someone should love the work and not be so invested o. the artist of the want to be hidden... was getting annoyed so I returned it.
