Hahahaha holy crap this is the first DNF of 2022 I suppose.
I got 8 pages in. The writing style… I mean… if this is what can get published these days maybe I actually should take a stab at it. It read like something a tween who has no idea how adults talk (to each other or to themselves) would post on Fanfiction.net. Maybe it gets better but… truthfully, I doubt it.

Unpopular opinion: I loved this one. I really liked how the MFC is biracial but I'm biased since my kids are too & I feel like more books need biracial characters. I've also never watched whatever movie everyone else mentioned, so I couldn't base it on that. Weird considering I read a lot of rom coms, but I don't watch a lot of them since horror is my genre to watch. I found the main characters cute & while the chemistry wasn't totally there, it's an insta love story gone wrong with an HEA. It's a typical romance in that way. There's never chemistry.

I was kind of disappointed in this book. I loved the cover, which honestly was the reason I picked it up, then reading the back I was like okay this will be good, because one of my favorite movies is ‘How to lose a guy in 10 days’. I can’t really say it was good but it wasn’t bad either. It was just ... okay.
The characters are very likable. Hannah is a girl that woman can relate to. She’s been hurt a time or two and is just done with relationships. She is tired of being asked to change who and how she is in order to make the other person happy. She is bi-racial and the last straw for her on the relationship front was being told in a sense that she wasn’t black enough. Then there is Jack. He, like Hannah, is tired of being the dumpee. He gives his all to the women, passes up job opportunities because it’s not good for the relationship, but still gets dumped. The author does a great job of building the characters and letting you know what they’ve been through to make them feel how they are feeling about relationships.
This book started off REALLY slow. It took me a quite a few days to get into it. Then once I got about half way through chapter 3 I was off and reading. Then just as things started to happen and their “relationship” took a hit and you wanted them to work things out. I slowed down a lot! Suddenly you were all in their thoughts and feelings, which I get that the author wants you to know how they felt about each other. I just felt like if you were actually reading the book you already got that. It felt like someone told her the book had to be a certain length and so she was filling in. I really liked the ending, not because the book was over but because I feel like she did a really good job wrapping up the loose ends.
All-in-all it was an okay book. I would recommend it to my friends, with the understanding that they not give up until at least chapter 4.

Cute romance between Hannah and Jack - but they are both using the other person to get ahead at their jobs. Naturally, they fall for each other, but breakup when they find out they were using each other. Not to worry, there is a happily ever after. There is a lot of sex and pretty juvenile talk in the beginning of the book.

This book is essentially a gender-swapped version of the movie How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.
It was a cute story but I didn’t really vibe with the writing style. There were a lot of times I had to reread a sentence multiple times bc I was confused (granted this is likely in part due to the fact that I had a perma headache while reading this book due to health reasons).
I really liked Hannah. She was super badass and awesome and I’m glad she had some had some self-enlightenment moments at the end of the book and was able to recognize her own worth. Jack was chill but kind of a dumbass at times but on the bright side he recognized his dumbass-ery and got his shit together by the end.
The epilogue was super adorable. I also want to reiterate how badass Hannah is lol :))
