Neanderthal Seeks Human is a fun and pleasantly awkward read!

This is the first book in Penny Reid’s contemporary romantic comedy Knitting in the City series and can be read as a complete standalone. Neanderthal Seeks Human is told from the quirky POV of the leading lady, Janie Morris.

I am a big fan of quirky characters, but I began to get burned out on how smart yet oblivious to the obvious Janie was. She has a phenomenal group of friends in her knitting club, who absolutely MADE the ending! I also really liked Quinn and wish we got to hear his thoughts (A+ for the epilogue coming from him).

I enjoyed this book, but I wasn’t crazy about it. The steam level is low, I think it would have benefitted from having dual POVs, and in general, I am not the biggest fan of stories that have conflict that arise or drag on due to miscommunication. But, it is really sweet and hilarious!

Overall, Neanderthal Seeks Human is well loved and rom com fans who can embrace the awkwardness will surely enjoy it!
