First Time Caller:A hopeless romantic meets a jaded radio host in this cozy, Sleepless in Seattle–inspired love story Paperback – 13 February 2025

Let me tell you why you shouldn’t read this book: You’ll probably end up romanticizing pineapple on pizza“𝘉𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘦.

It’s one of the best feel-good romances out there 💖PS: I was kidding—I still hate pineapple on pizza 😅 But good for Aiden and Lucie 💕

This is one of the cutest books I’ve read this year. The leads are relatable and so funny. And the chemistry of the MCs was just off the chart. I don’t read many romances but when I do, I generally hope to read something like this. The meet cute over the radio is adorably humorous and I especially love how gradually Borrison has depicted the growth of their relationship like I was literally feeling the butterflies with them. The plot, the setting is all cute and I would love to see the anti-valentine themed café irl.The characters, Aiden, and Lucie, complete each other and their banter made me blush through out the book. However, I could not really connect to the other characters much for example I would have loved to see a bit more of the family dynamics on both sides and especially a heart to heart between Aiden and his mother would have been nice.It was a fun book and something I needed in at the moment, fun, sweet, warm and cute with no toxicity. I really want this book to be turned into a fluttering rom-com.

It's cute, it's realistic & it's corny in the best way possible... 🥰🤭😍If you're a hopeless romcom addict like me who has been more of a downer lately, this one’s for you. 🎧🎙️📻❤️‍🩹

This book was absolutely adorable! I caught myself kicking my feet and giggling more times than I can count. Aiden and Lucie completely stole my heart, and the dynamics between Grayson, Mateo, Lucie, and Maya were just the sweetest—I adore this family!And can we talk about Jackson? I was smitten by him from the very first chapter.Now, about the spice… wow. I wasn’t expecting that! It was definitely a bit much for me since I’m not the biggest fan of smut, but it didn’t take away from my overall enjoyment.As someone who loves 90s and 00s rom-coms, this book was such a treat. I’m usually hesitant about hyped-up books, but I’m so glad I gave First Time Caller a chance.Rating: 4.75 stars

The quality is really good.

ig: @pastacoffeeandbooksRefreshing and Romantic!I love it when authors get banter, and this one definitely delivered. Our MCs were exactly how I imagined they would be, not any big surprises there but still super cute. Somewhere along the way, it started to feel longer than it needed to be (could be my mood too).It leans on a little cheesy side for my taste but I still ate it up! The author does it right because i was kicking my feet and i bet you'll too. It had its charm and I can already see myself re-reading some of my favorite scenes. I still need to sit with it and decide if Aiden earns a spot on my book boyfriend list but he’s definitely got potential. If you're in the mood for something romantic, funny, and super low-effort, this might just be your next comfort read. It won’t blow your mind but it’ll make you smile. I definitely see how this could be someone's favourite for sure.to be honest, I would have bought it just from the cover, one of the prettiest I've ever seen....& I've mentally pre-ordered the next book!

I could really resonated with Lu so much...just like the peeps of Baltimore did...felt soo damn real that it took me a while to finish this book cuz I had to take bits of break in between...no I'm not a mom if a preteen, I'm in my early 20s n a lot of things felt real...the romance n soft love was top notch...Aiden's talk with his dad got me to tears !! Loved the book!!! ❤️❤️❤️
