Hook, Line, and Sinker (Bellinger Sisters, 2)

Product Information

I loved the character development, the romance and ensuing maturity of the characters felt real and believable while still retaining that sweep-you-off-your-feet romance. That is how dry the romance (actually everything) was. I just wanted dramaaaa. Which is ironic because I thought It Happened One Summer was a lil too dramatic.

Bellinger Sisters Series by Tessa Bailey - Goodreads

Without further to say, Tessa Bailey knows how to truly make you obsess over her characters. A healthy obsession that will have your toes curling for much more to come. It actually got worse. As Fox had Hannah pinned against a wall, in a full make-out sesh, I am completely zoned out thinking of best gifs I could use for Christian😭😭

Customer reviews

Tessa Bailey created absolute magic here. She seems to be getting better and better with each new release and this one more or less owns me. While you definitely don’t need to read It Happened one Summer prior to reading Hook, Line and Sinker but I recommend you do. I personally enjoyed this more than the first one, I loved how broody Fox is and independent Hannah is and their combined love for music was perfection. Dating advice to entice OM? There were maybe two dumbass advices like "hey maybe bite ur lip more?" and she never even used them. As seen on E!Online, PopSugar, CNN, EliteDaily, Vulture, Buzzfeed, Bustle, the Nerd Daily, PARADE, LA Magazine, Country Living, USA Today, and more!

The pining is there, but also not? I couldn't tell what the characters really wanted to do. One minute they were friends, the other they want to see each other naked, the next hour they were in love and then not even them could tell what was going on. Hannah was such a highlight for me. She was so fun and compassionate and witty, the friend of all our dreams.

After reading It Happened One Summer, I wasn’t excited about Fox and Hannah’s book in the slightest because of the friends-to-lovers trope. It’s more of miss than a hit trope for me and Hook, Line and Sinker didn’t manage to change my mind. Turned out Hannah and Fox were as boring as I expected them to be. Was there mutual pining? Yes. Was there jealousy? Yes. Did I feel anything reading it? Nope. You can say what you want about Piper. Does she has 5 brain cells max? Hell yes, but that girl was so entertaining. Fox and Hannah ehhh... snoozefest from the prologue til the epilogue. This is a forbidden crush to friends to lovers and it was incredibly addicting. If you have ever felt like you take the supporting role in life rather than being a leading character, you will find connection with this book. Always being the advice and therapist friend, never fully feeling like you have the confidence to take strides over your life. It will touch those who feel like imposters when stepping into things as well as accepting the reputation the people around you see you for instead of paving your own path. Now, as you might guess, these tense personal struggles are cause for some absolutely explosive romantic encounters. Fox initially doesn’t trust himself around Hannah and doesn’t want to mess with their friendship, yet can’t seem to stay away from the woman who’s taken over his guest bedroom and his heart. Hannah has her own battles to overcome and yet, the two of them can’t keep denying their attraction and intense chemistry. But what makes their connection even better and stronger is the fact that they have this history of being friends, of sending songs that describe their days and confiding into each other about their lives—it just adds so much to their relationship. From delicious tension and funny banter to panty-dropping steam, Fox and Hannah’s romance is one for the ages. Bailey delivers an outstanding follow-up to It Happened One Summer—as if we’ve expected anything less. Why do I always have to be the hater? I refuse to believe the 4.40 avg rating. Something sus is going on🤨
