Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this advanced copy to review. All thoughts and opinions are honest and my own.

The Hot Henry Effect is the debut novel of Dr Lucy Chalice. Set in a world you can see the author is incredibly knowledgeable about, this romantic comedy is a brilliant debut and has put her firmly on the list for future books to watch out for.

We meet Clara and Henry when they first meet at university, before jumping into the future when they are both set in their careers. What follows is a delightful slow burn, with a cast of characters loveable and also downright detestable.

Dr Clara Clancy is honestly a relatable character, even if she is much smarter than me. Seeing her have her life together and yet so not at the same time is refreshing. I found the business side of her life very interesting, and I imagine the issues Clara deals with are sadly very true to real life. But she goes on a page turning journey with real growth.

Dr Henry Fraser is a Clark Kent esq man who most definitely falls first. Seeing their rekindling friendship was such a lovely read, and as you travel back to America and learn more about what has happened since their college days, you really understand the man he’s become.

And the chemistry is 10/10!!

I try not to give to much away in my posts as I want you to enjoy the book spoiler free. But let’s just say if you enjoy Ali Hazelwood’s books- you will love this!!

STEMinist romcoms is a genre I am enjoying see flourish, and love that more authors are delving into the world of these smart incredible women, and the men in their lives who fall head over heels for them.

Once again, thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this advanced copy to review. All thoughts and opinions are honest and my own.
