Smart girl?

Probably an inappropriate title for a story about a girl who does a lot of dumb things for a boy. This was my least favorite of the series, but I can appreciate that the character was different than what Rachel typically writes about. I just thought Miki did not have enough significant flaws like her prior two characters so I felt like the story dragged with artificial drama with Liam. Hated the ending, but still love Rachel Hollis!

I finished this entire series in less than four days. I had so much fun escaping into the world of Landon, Max, and Miko and read this last one in two sittings! It was another perfect summer rom-com read and even though I thought I wouldn’t, I actually really liked the ending and everything being tied up neatly with a pretty bow. Three and a half stars.

This book was absolutely amazing! I just went through a heart break and totally understood Miko!! I was actually talking back to the book as it were a friend in my car!
I recommend this book for the story and the great advice it gives without the Author even knowing she did that! ❤️

This turned out to be a very enjoyable romance. I smiled, giggled and even had a little tear over the antics of the young and likable Miko. She might be naïve, but she is driven, successful, and intelligent and a hopeless romantic who believes that love should happen just like it does in all the books she reads. And why not? Even if she does have to help it along a little.

Miko is helplessly in with her best friend’s brother Liam. There stands on of her problems, as she knows her best friend Max is most likely going to kill her when she finds out. But the biggest hurdle she has to get over is Liam himself. Liam is the Viking God in Miko’s eyes and can’t do no wrong and although all her friends warn her she really is blind to the car crash of a heartache that is heading her way.

This book is light hearted, romantic and uplifting and I am so glad I have had the privileged to read this book. It really has made me smile on those dark wintery nights. I have a real appreciation for the beautiful friendships in this book and the support the characters all give each other.

Thank you very much to Rachel Hollis and Netgalley for allowing me to read this lovely book in exchange for an honest review.

Miko is Glenn close crazy, but by the end of the book it somehow becomes endearing.... Dont ask how, plus the renaissance skit at the end had me in tears, i thought Liam could never overcome the pig he had become for most of the book, as far as grand gestures go i think he topped it and it had me in tears... an amazing read.... loved it

Just a great book with women who are friends who support each other. Miko, Max and Landan was wonderful. women. This is a Net Galley ARC and I so glad I requested this. This is one of the best contemporary love stories I've read in recent times

I started reading this in November and stopped because of the speed at which all the characters were introduced I thought way too much too soon. Picked it up today (December 6) and read it from the beginning to the end in one sitting (lying in bed). Now all my Sunday chores must be done.

But this was worth it. I adore how vibrant, loving, fun and sweet Miko Jin is.

Filled with literary and pop culture references, this book is a fun read. It's a series and now I have to get The Girls books 1 and 2
