Nobody in Particular

ARC Review by All Things Book Wise

Rating: ✨4.5 stars ✨

Review Updated: 02/02/2025

From the moment I started reading, I was so invested in the story, the relatable characters, the cute cover (let's be real - that's why I picked up this book) and the romance ❤️

Nobody in Particular follows Danni, a music scholarship student who has just moved to the small country of Henland and the elite Bramppath College, and Rose, a princess who is determined to get herself and her reputation back together. Both are dealing with their own struggles, and this book is as much about them falling in love with each other as it is about them growing and navigating life.

Danni and Rose are honestly so cute together! It's the perfect mix of forbidden love and grumpy/sunshine with Rose's sharp wit and sarcasm paired with Danni's sunshine and understanding nature.

The romance was developed perfectly, and the way they went from sort of friends to talking to texting, and then ultimately falling in love with each other had me invested in them both, especially with being able to read both POVs and their cute texts to each other!
I loved the pining and not-so-subtle glances, seeing their little forest scenes, and skating lessons, and the way that Danni found a group to belong to, got more comfortable performing piano, and how they both became more comfortable being themselves.

This was so close to being another five star read, but the ending was a little too rushed for me. I'd have liked to see more of what happened after their decision to go public, rather than just skipping time to the HEA. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for a HEA! I just would have liked to see a bit more of the path to the epilogue.

That being said, the rest of the book was so good!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC. All thoughts are my own.
