Accidentally in Love by Belinda Missen is a contemporary romance. In the space of a week, Katharine Patterson has quit her job, decided to move back home, and broken up with the guy she thought was the one. No big deal. Because Katharine has a plan. She’s going to open her own art gallery, just like she’s always wanted. What she’s not going to do is worry about boyfriends. Then she meets Kit, a handsome and talented local artist. He might be the most stubborn person Katharine has ever met. He might also make her feel like no one ever has before. And Katharine might be about to fall accidentally in love.
Accidentally in Love is a story that is more about Katherine figuring out what she really wants and making it happen than about her relationship with. I did enjoy seeing the banter, and thought the conversations and self doubts on all ends were relatable and engaging. I liked that everyone had struggles- friendships and relationships that seemed iron clad at the start of the book faced realistic struggles. I felt for Adam, was rooting for Katherine's grand plans, and was hoping that friendships could be mended but that people could stand up for themselves and stand firm. For those looking purely for romance, you might be a little disappointed, since there were several moments when I would not have strictly labeled the book as romance. However, the book was well written and I came to care for the characters as I read.
Accidentally in Love is a romance with just as much self discovery by Katharine as there is humor and heart.
