I did feel it was quite juvenile compared to Monica’s usual writing. I did miss her spice & I did feel like there was that emotional connection with the main characters missing. However I did enjoy the story with it being a very easy Sunday afternoon read.

Lonely For You Only is part of the Lancaster prep world but not technically part of the series as it is not based at the school but still about the Lancaster familyThis book had a very cute vibe the whole way throughI really liked the characters but I didn’t really connect to them like I normally do with Monica Murphy booksFor me, there wasn’t as much depth and background information into them as there normally isThis book is a fake dating trope which is one of my favourites and I do think it was done really wellI do think the plot of the book was really good and cute and was very hooking if you like fake dating tropesBut I just didn’t have that connection with the characters and wasn’t as invested in the book because of that

I cannot put it down. I have been obsessed with the Lancaster series
