Sweet but very predictable romance. ( )

*3.5 stars*
By Any Other Name is the story of Lanie, an editor who unexpectedly becomes her company’s biggest client’s minder. Fortunately, Lanie and Noa – the client, have been communicating for years and have a good relationship. Events necessitate that the two finally meet and woah! Noa actually turns out to be Noah and thinks get messy.

This was a really slow burn romance and honestly, I am not sure if I classify it as a romance in my head. I think the pacing was a bit off. I did enjoy the romance when it happened, but it was so not the focus for a good part of the book. The characters did have good chemistry together, so kudos. I also enjoyed Lanie’s growth from beginning to the end. Noah was also a good ML character. I have my reservations though when it comes to issues that sort of look catfish-y.
Overall, this was an enjoyable read.

Thanks to the Publishers and NetGalley for the ARC.

Review to come. Will say that this is the second book in 2 months that has been set partially in NYC's Pomander Walk, giving me a yearning to actually see the place. ( )

Such a sweet, heartwarming, clean romcom. This was just a fun, quick read with engaging characters. ( )
