The Introvert's Guide to Blind Dating
by Emma Hart
As usual, I laughed a lot with another book by Emma Hart. And even when her characters are really all so different with their different personality quirks and such, I still seem to connect with them in some little way if not all the way. In this case it started out right away with Piper’s thoughts about vegetables on pizza. Another thing about Piper I agreed with is that I really wish people would just be straight about how they feel about you. I hate not knowing if someone likes me or not.
With Piper being a baker there was a lot of talk of food in this story. Plus, I really, really want to try a strawberry butterscotch cupcake now too. Anyone know where I can find one?
Maverick was almost the perfect book boyfriend, I mean, come on, a male romance author? As he said a few times, he spent his time writing about women, so in a weird way, he was kind of an expert. I liked his method of low-pressure wooing that he did with Piper.
Of course we also got time with the hilarious grandparents from the rest of both this series as well as The Bookworm’s Guide series. One thing I really liked in this one though, was having people realize just how crazy and unreal it could be. But when Piper told Maverick to be prepared, she wasn’t lying. Piper’s brother Josh made me mad, but it added a good bit of drama to the story, in a way that I really liked keeping the final drama from being a misunderstanding between the two main characters, something that often irritates me.
My only issues, aren’t really anything that is an issue though. For instance, some of the way the characters talked was just really just what is probably considered a regional dialect? Like I would normally say I was somewhere “in the morning”. The characters in the books said when they were here “on a morning”. And then they went to something that they called a funfair. I’ve always just heard it called a fair or a carnival. Like I said, silly things to complain about, and I’m not really complaining, just mentioning my thoughts.
