“These protagonists are realistic and likable and have sizzling chemistry even when they are barely interacting. Their banter is amusing and witty, and Alison's interior life is both frustrating and hilarious. . . This debut rom-com features peak grumpy/sunshine and friends-to-lovers tropes.”
On Four Weekends and a Funeral
“Prepare yourself for a whole five-course forced-proximity meal! Alison and Adam may meet through the most contrived of situations, but their connection is all natural. Sure, Adam prefers to speak in single-word sentences, but his obvious care for Alison is warm and undeniably attractive. I mean the man starts storing Thin Mints in his freezer after seeing Alison eat them one time. Who wouldn't swoon?”
On Four Weekends and a Funeral
“An emotionally resonant grumpy/sunshine romance. . . Alison makes for a deeply sympathetic heroine [and Adam] will tug at readers' heartstrings as he juggles his attraction to Alison with his grief. Palmer also handles tough issues with grace, including Alison's preventative double mastectomy after learning that she carries the BRCA-1 gene, and her all too understandable panic attacks. This packs a punch.”
On Four Weekends and a Funeral
“Debut author Ellie Palmer is poised to become one of the most beloved voices in the romance genre, mark my words. If you enjoy romance novels with a heavy dose of sarcasm, vulnerability, love scenes worthy of several spicy peppers, and lots of tension, you need to add Four Weekends and a Funeral to your TBR list. It's one of the most unique yet authentic storylines I've read this year, and I can't wait to devour Palmer's next project!”
