IT STARTED WITH A CUP…

Isabella Shay is usually a very honest person. But when she’s running late for her first day at a dream job and the barista yells for “Amy” 3x with no answer, she does the unthinkable.

Izzy takes that PSL.

It’s the exact drink she ordered and paid for, only waaaay further ahead in the line, so she mutters “I’m Amy” and grabs the cup. But when she turns around and runs directly into the most attractive man she’s ever seen, spilling the drink all over his GQ shirt and tie, she ends up having the ultimate meet-cute. Sparks fly and things feel beyond promising until he says the words, “See you tomorrow, Amy.”

Uh, oh – she’ll definitely have to straighten him out the following day.

Only when she gets to her new office and meets the VP of her department, it is none other than Blake Phillips - the hottie from Starbucks. And the man might’ve been charming to “Amy,” but he is an arrogant grump to Izzy, an arrogant grump who dos not find her explanation funny at all.

Review zu Accidentally Amy von Lynn Painter Mein Best of Mai 2025

Schade, dass Lynn Painters Erwachsenenromane bisher kaum auf Deutsch erscheinen – also hieß es für mich: ran ans englische Original. Für mein Sprachniveau war Accidentally Amy eine kleine Herausforderung, aber es hat sich absolut gelohnt! Die Liebesgeschichte war einfach wunderschön – Best Friends to Lovers zählt zu meinen liebsten Tropes, und hier wurde er richtig gut umgesetzt. Dazu kamen lustige Dialoge, eine charmante Atmosphäre und eine Protagonistin, die mich total an Mr. Wrong Number erinnert hat. Ich hab wirklich alles daran geliebt. Definitiv mein Highlight im Mai!

Ich habe das Buch ab der ersten Seite geliebt. Izzy trifft am Morgen ihres ersten Arbeitstages auf Blake in einem Coffeeshop. Und schüttet Kaffee über ihn und findet ihn mehr als attraktiv. Umso größer ist die Enttäuschung, als sie draufkommt, dass er ihr neuer Vorgesetzter ist. Sie beschließen Freunde zu sein und da beginnen die Verwicklungen. Ich mochte den Humor, die vielen Textnachrichten, diese unterschwellige Anziehungskraft der beiden und wie Blake um Izzy bemüht ist. Mein erstes 5 Sterne Buch in 2025!!

Easy Read

Einfaches Buch zum lesen, sehr lustig und süße Beziehung, nicht viel spice aber ein unterhaltsames Buch. 💐

It is a cute fast romance. Not much drama, the misscommunication gets resolved rather quickly, both seem like actuallyreal human beings. I had to smile all the way through it. Both MC love cats and light (non sexual) teasing. Very light and feel good. Also can we acknowledge how gorgeous this cover is? Might have been more like a 3.5 read but the cover made it 4.

not a waste of time

If you’re looking for a quick, trope-heavy rom-com with lots of banter, a dash of spice, and an office romance that kicks off about 30 seconds in, Accidentally Amy might be your next light listen. I picked it up after enjoying Lynn Painter’s Better Than the Movies and because, at around 7 hours, it fit my mood for something shorter and easy. The story centers on Izzy and Blake, who meet during a chaotic coffee run and immediately hit it off — without realizing they’ll be working in the same building. Cue instant attraction, workplace tension, and very few barriers to either of them acting on their feelings. Izzy is your classic rom-com heroine: a little chaotic, impulsive, and quirky in a way that’s meant to be endearing but sometimes feels a bit too over the top. She’s the “messy but effortlessly cute” type who blurts out whatever she thinks — and, somehow, it always works out. Blake, on the other hand, is basically every romantic hero from an Ali Hazelwood book crossed with Joshua Templeman from The Hating Game: tall, composed, emotionally stable, responsible (he has two cats — one blind and diabetic — which really leans hard into the “he’s a saint” angle). Both are likeable, though Blake more so than Izzy, but neither feels particularly believable. Their chemistry works well — it’s sweet, warm, and starts right from the meet-cute. The instant connection felt fitting for their personalities, even if it leaned heavily on insta-love. Still, some of the choices they make, especially in a professional setting, just didn’t land for me. Izzy risking her brand-new, high-stakes job on day one by flirting with the boss? Blake tossing HR protocol out the window? It felt too convenient, and not in a fun way. Humor-wise, it was hit or miss. The interactions between Izzy and Blake are cute, and they have that magnetic can’t-stay-away-from-each-other vibe that’s easy to root for. But the scenes with Izzy’s cousin and their overly quirky friend group felt forced. They’re portrayed as these effortlessly cool, fun, creative people who can just stop work for mid-day drinking games… and exist more as a comic device than actual characters. I didn’t laugh out loud or even crack a smile — but the romance itself had charm. There’s not much of a story arc. The pacing is fine, but there’s no real conflict until the final stretch, and even then it’s more of a brief hiccup than a true emotional obstacle. No major heartbreak, no character growth, no stakes. And as much as I loved the premise behind the title, the whole “Accidentally Amy” plot point gets resolved early and doesn’t really serve the story at all — it’s a clever setup that never becomes relevant. I listened to the audiobook, which is read by a single narrator voicing both Izzy and Blake. While that sometimes works, it felt a bit odd here — especially given the amount of direct interaction between the two. I would’ve preferred dual narration to help bring the chemistry to life. The writing itself is easy and pleasant enough, and the book isn’t long enough to feel like a waste of time. But overall, it felt like a watered-down remix of The Hating Game with a touch of Ali Hazelwood — nothing new, nothing groundbreaking, and no strong emotional depth. I think it could have been more — the premise had potential — but in the end, it was just okay. A soft 2.75 stars.
