I throughly enjoyed reading about the Small town of Hope Lake and Charlotte & Henry's story.
Author Nina Bocci vividly brings us into this world that comes to life off the pages as you read it.
I enjoyed the adventures of getting to know more about these characters and their second chance love they find within one another.
Best friends can be more and this book delivered it.
Great read to cozy up with a good hot cup of cocoa and a warm blanket while reading this book.
This book gave me the feels of falling in love with a good dose of humor.

4.5

I thought this book was really cute! It’s the second book in a set of three books, but the nice thing is that you don’t necessarily need to read to read the first to enjoy this one. The story follows Charlotte Bishop as she returns to Hope Lake after being gone for most of her life. She spent most of her childhood years in in Hope Lake, but then her mom took her and moved to New York. Now that she’s back, Charlotte is starting to remember all the good things about the town and can’t understand why her mom ever made her leave. Reunited with friends Emma, Cooper, Nick, and Henry, for the first time in a long time, Charlotte remembers what it’s like to feel really and truly loved. Now, the question is whether to stay and or go when a realization comes to light that makes Charlotte question what home really means and makes her really consider who it is that makes her feel at home. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a cute adult romance.

Synopsis: Meet Me on Love Lane is the second book in Nina Bocci‰ЫЄs Hopeless Romantics series, but don‰ЫЄt let that stop you from reading it as a standalone. Forced to leave Hope Lake with her mother, 10-year-old Charlotte heads for New York City with her mother, blocking off Hope Lake forever.

Now a grown woman, Charlotte finds herself fired and broke, blacklisted by her former boss, and in need of a plan. Out of options, Charlotte heads back to Hope Lake to stay with her father while she saves up enough money to move back to New York. Her visit is only supposed to be temporary, but then Charlotte is given the opportunity of a lifetime, her dream job with no strings attached. She also finds herself to be the center of attention between two handsome men, the charming small-town doctor and the handsome high school English teacher.

What‰ЫЄs Charlotte supposed to do when she finds herself torn between two cities and two men?

Review: I absolutely adored this book. It‰ЫЄs so delightful and sweet. It‰ЫЄs straight out of a Hallmark movie and gives you all the feels. I loved the small-town vibe that Hope Lake provided, it was like a tiny version of Stars Hollow, with its charming stores, magical town square, and friendly neighbors. Meet Me on Love Lane is such a feel-good story centered around childhood friendships and second chances.

‰ЫПMy tears plopped onto his shoulder, and I felt a wall, brick by brick, form around my heart. Protecting it from the hurt that I was feeling. This wasn‰ЫЄt a pain I ever wanted to feel again. I wouldn‰ЫЄt allow it.‰Ыќ
‰ЫҐ Nina Bocci, Meet Me on Love Lane

Nina has such a thoughtful and whimsical writing style. I loved the atmospheric tone and her strong development of characters. If you‰ЫЄre looking for a feel-good novel, look no further.

Leaning towards chic lit more than romance, Meet Me on Love Lane was a sweet small-town story. I adored the friendship between Emma and Charlotte and grandma Gigi was a hoot! I found the book to be a charming quick read.

3.5 stars
I liked the story, it was cute, i liked the small town, the florist aspects, and reconnecting with old friends. It was just not a great story, a little flat and predictable, cute and fun but nothing too special.

Meet me on Love Lane is the second book in the Hopeless Romantics series by the talented Nina Bocci. I'm really enjoying this series! The characters are fun and witty and the writing is great. I really loved Henry in the last book and I was excited to see him get a chance at happily ever after. Charlotte's back in town after years away with a memory fill of holes and no idea what she's going to do with herself. She reconnects with childhood friends, spends time with her grandma and her dad and starts to finally feel happy. Her journey is hard at times, but sweet, romantic and funny. This small town is full of solid friendships and family who just made me want to call everyone I love just to say hi! I'm invested in these characters and can't wait to see what happens next. I'm also excited for The Ingredients of You and Me!

Absently, I motioned to his naked, sweaty chest.
"Do you have a shirt? Or I'll give you mine?"
He choked, a mix between a laugh and a cough.
"Out if the two of us, I think it's safer for you to remain clothed."

I LOVED Meet Me on Love Lane by Nina Bocci. It’s the second book in the Hopeless Romantics series and my fave so far. It is a sweet hallmark movie-esque story that takes place in a small town in Pennsylvania. It reminds me of a town like Stars Hollow on Gilmore Girls. I was pumped for Henry’s story and I wasn’t disappointed. I was able to listen to the audio a little on my walks, and would definitely recommend that format, too. I didn’t plan to read the third book, The Ingredients of You and Me yet, but now it’s moved onto my short list.
