Review: If You're a RomCom fan, Here's Your Book

I was so relieved that this book lived up to its cover. I saw the cover, and thought, OK... this is for me. I really miss romantic comedy and chick lit with spunky heroines on a journey to learn something about themselves. The attraction between the heroine and her unlikely lover kept me riveted. I especially liked that that she was begging for it, and he "didn't give in." As with any Rom Com, one could say, "Oh, the situation is contrived and the meet cute is so unlikely." I disagree! I think real life is full of the kinds of set-ups and coincidences that happen in all Chick Lit and in How to Win a Guy. So, there's a confirmed bachelor who'll um, DATE, any woman who moves and he has a sister who challenges him to settle down. He makes a game out of the bet and winds up learning something about himself and falling hard for an unlikely (on paper) candidate. It happens every day! But in this book, it's written in a juicy, page-turning way. I just loved this, especially because the author has a subtle and wry sense of humor. She's obv smart and funny, but she doesn't hit you over the head with puns and jokes. It's a thinking woman's Rom Com. Highly recommended.
