Um, I accidentally went in and deleted some books from a list but deleted them completely from my whole Goodreads account instead of just from the list. :-( So I'll be updating some reviews if I can remember all of the ones I did!

This book is exactly why I love Emma Hart. If I could have, I would have sat down and not moved until I was done with it, because it was so funny and so good! This author totally knows how to relate to things that I think about every day. I connect so much with the characters, even when they might not be anything like me really! It didn’t hurt that the main character in this, Halley, was a librarian, because that’s my job! So many jokes that were just written perfectly into the story. Boob sweat was one that perfectly hit right now with the heat of summer still lingering around into September as it always does around here.


And then, then there is the fish that Preston named Uranus. As with every book by this author, there is always one scene that I end up laughing so hard as I’m reading that if my dogs are snuggling with me, I disturb them and they jump up and give me dirty looks. Not to mention the part where Preston asks Halley to “Hold Uranus for a minute” and her response to that is what had me laughing so hard, and I still get the giggles that are hard to stop whenever I think about that part. And also as usual, there were the grandmothers and great aunts that were as hilarious as any other character in the book. I loved that we also got to spend a little time with some characters from one of the author’s other books, The Accidental Girlfriend. I was staying up reading last night, and finally had to put the book down to go to sleep since I had to work this morning. I really wished it was still summer, or maybe the weekend even, so that I could have stayed up all night to finish reading it.


I’m extremely glad for more books in the series, because I can’t wait to see what romance has in store for Halley’s friends!
