OVERACHIEVER BY S.M. SHADE

This is one of the first laugh out loud romcoms I have read this year and I loved it! Overachiever is a hilarious, new adult, friends to lovers romance. I recommend it!
Rating: ★★★★
​Release Date: January 28, 2021
Genre: Romantic Comedy

Series: Slumming It #2 (can stand alone)
Pages: 250 pages
Format: eBook. ARC. Source: Author (thank you)!
​It started with a summer job and a ridiculous sex dream.

If you were to ask my friends to describe me, they’d tell you I’m an ambitious person. Responsible, driven, and focused on my goals. Words like stubborn and uptight would probably get thrown in there too. I’m not sure about that, but I know who I’m not.

I’m not the woman who lets a guy derail me from my plans. Watching others make that mistake has taught me well. No serious dating. No relationship until I’m successfully settled into my career. That’s the promise I made to myself and I’m determined to keep it.

Despite being an excellent student, there’s one lesson I fear I’ve learned too late. Funny men aren’t as harmless as they seem and should be avoided at all times. They sneak in under your radar and end up under your skirt. One second you’re laughing. The next you’re hunting for your underwear on a hotel room floor. Believe me, it’s not worth it.
If only my heart would stop screaming louder than my brain, I might be able to believe that Owen falls into that category. He’s my friend, but every day we spend together in this hotel, or working on our summer job building houses for charity, the harder it gets to convince myself we shouldn’t be more.

Years of diligence, and I’m being destroyed by a goofy smile.

READ MY BOOK REVIEW

My Rating: 4 stars
Genre New Adult | Romantic Comedy

Overachiever is one heck of a funny book! I laughed quite a bit and even got a few funny looks from my family because of the howls coming out of me. If you need something light, something that will make you hoot with laughter, and something that is just as sexy then you won’t want to miss Overachiever by S.M. Shade. She’s known for her hilarious romcoms, but this may just be one of her funniest (besides Worth It because you can’t top that one) to date.

Overachiever is the second book in the Slumming it series. If you haven’t read the first one don’t worry because these books CAN be read as complete/interconnected standalones. They are also a spinoff of the Violent Circle series which I highly recommend because they too are absolutely HILARIOUS (especially book 1, Scarlet Toys).

With that being said, I enjoyed this book immensely. Owen is one of my favorite male heroes because he is so quick witted and funny, but he also has an enormous heart that will make you swoon. I love how he loved! Remee and him are a bit of opposites, as she’s definitely more studious and concerned with her grades and making sure there are no distractions so she can reach her goals. He on the other hand isn’t as hard on himself and allows himself to live and enjoy life. I think S.M. Shade did a wonderful job at bringing these two friends together as she made sure their differences complimented each other. I love seeing this in a book! There’s a teeny bit of drama at the end (I wanted to whack Remee for not allowing herself to be happy) but not enough to give you heart palpitations or the feeling of angst. This is more of a sweet, lighthearted, FUNNY, and enjoyable read.

S.M. Shade is a must read for romantic comedy readers. I feel like everyone should read at least one of her novels because once you do, you’ll be hooked! The three that I recommend as my favorites include this one, Scarlet Toys, and Worth it which she co-wrote with C.M. Owens.
