The Charm Offensive

Alison Cochrun

4.19 AVERAGE


I almost can’t put into words how great this book was. Both main characters were so ENDEARING. I loved Charlie and Dev—and their vulnerability!—so much and could have spent another couple hundred pages reading about them and their relationship. But while THE CHARM OFFENSIVE might look like a fun rom-com based around a reality dating show, its focus on and representation of mental health was what made this book five stars for me :)

what a blast! so heart-warming. decent main characters and an easy but balanced story. enjoyed the allusions to reality tv. the ending got me in the best way!

a few cringe moments, who cares!
(kinda hate the cover, and it doesn’t match character descriptions much at all!)

a sweet, easy read. recommended for any fruity bachelor lovers/haters.
