Author
Laura Piper Lee has always wanted to be an author and she’s achieving that now. One of her favourite things to do is make people laugh and she’s amazing at doing that with her writing.
Plot
Former valedictorian, current pothead, and perpetual over thinker, Nomi Wyeth is this close to opening her very own Amsterdam-style cannabis dispensary in the historic Strange Drugs Pharmacy building downtown. Former salutatorian, current doctor, and perpetual try-hard, Julian D’Angelo’s chronic failure to listen leads to a mistake that ruins his reputation and forces him to serve in Sparrow Nook’s family clinic, located next door to the Strange Drugs Pharmacy. But how is Julian supposed to be nice when the woman who stole both his valedictorian title and his heart is planning on opening some mangy weed palace for losers next to his clinic? Through zany zoning hearings and “pot luck” fundraisers, free-spirited Nomi and straight-and-narrow Julian battle against each other all over Sparrow Nook, New Jersey, bringing up old rivalries and older flames in the process. It’s tough to say what will change first—their minds or their hearts—but one thing’s for they’re not going down without a fight.
My Review
Laura Piper Lee is a new to me author. I haven’t read her other books but after reading Pot Shot I’m very interested in reading her others. She has such a talent for effortlessly writing comedy into her books that had me laughing from the very first page. I would honestly compare her to Meghan Quinn in the way I was laughing all throughout the book. Although I’m a huge fan a romance, a book that centred around pot was a little out there for me but I absolutely loved it. It was nice to learn about the benefits of marijuana for different illnesses. I knew about some of it’s advantages for that purpose but not nearly enough. I also loved the representation of chronic illness in this book. I didn’t know anything about Crohn’s disease so it was nice to learn about the daily struggles of it and what people who suffer from it have to go through. Nomi was such a fun character. She’s so different from other characters in the best way. She wasn’t afraid to be herself no matter how others perceived her and it made me want to be like her. The character arc or Julian was an absolute rollercoaster that I loved. These two characters together are now one of my favourite book couples. I adored this book and easily rate it 5/5 stars. If you love rivals to lovers, opposites attract, and second chance romances then you’ll love this book.
And that’s the end of my Pot Shot by Laura Piper Lee book review. If you read this book let me know in the comments and if you loved it as much as I did. If you’re looking for other books to read check out these reviews: In Her Own League, Yes, Chef, and Rules For The Summer.
