Four Day Fling by Emma Hart
5.0

This book is going to go down as one of my all time favorites, and has totally given me a new author to love and read as many books as I can find from her. First off, Adam was not only hot, he was hilarious! The way he could put up with Poppy's sarcasm, take it in stride and throw it right back! My perfect kind of guy. Something I love in romances is when I can relate to the main character, and I related so much to Poppy! Her snarkiness, her t-shirts, everything about her screamed me! Except for the red hair I guess, although I always wished I had red hair, and even have paid to have it at times in my life. I loved her lack of knowledge about sports, to the point that she didn't even realize who the hot guy she met was until her family recognized him. I could see that happening to me in a situation like this.

I got my copy of this to read while I was at Book Bonanza in Denver, and I started reading it in line. I didn't want to carry an extra book around to all the signings, so I just started reading this on my phone. It was so good I was seriously laughing out loud while I was sitting in line waiting to get in to the signing. And then I was reading it again during lunch that day, and I was sitting in the restaurant, by myself, laughing out loud.

Of course it has the usual part where the main character, Poppy, is just sure there is no way things are as perfect as they seem, that he couldn't possibly really like her, and that there is no way they could go anywhere in a relationship afterwards. I love that her best friend in the story calls her out on this, telling her what is happening is just like in the romance books they read. Um, YES!!!! I love that they actually call attention to the fact of what it is.

The family was hilarious as well, all of them fit into the story perfectly and made it perfect. One of my top reads of the year, one of the funniest for sure!
