4.5 stars really.

This started out really funny from the first blind date. And then that person who started showing up, and who was the “Not You Again” that the title refers to, well he was a beautiful stranger, and it was hard not to fall in love with him. Although there was a moment or two when he said or did some things to Becca, no matter how completely understandable it was of him to say or do those things, it made my opinion of him drop just a smidge.

Part of it though is that we didn’t know quite what had happened with Becca’s fiance Brian that we’d only heard bits and pieces about for most of the book, and so it was easy to wonder just what was keeping her out of the dating scene. What could Brian have done to make her that way? When I found out though, it was very understandable. And I liked the way what happened with Brian was kind of woven into Becca’s relationship with her boss. I also really liked Becca’s friends, and it was interesting to see why they chose the blind dates they did for her. It actually made me think that was probably how some people used to choose my blind dates, and why I quit letting people do that really quickly.

In the end it all tied up perfectly, and I am glad to have read this. I think this might be part of a stand-alone series, and I am hoping we get to find out how her friends will deal with their own singledom status. I also kind of want to know more about the guy Becca worked with that her boss would not let get more face-time with the customers. I feel there must be more of a story there, and I’d like to hear it.
