Honestly. These books. Buying into the belief that a woman’s only value is having a man, any man. No matter how shitty they are. Make sure you change yourself.

Every single dude she dates has no personality. They have a hot body and don’t even try to get to know her and what she likes or does.

Austin isn’t any better, judgemental little fucker who clearly has feelings for Chloe but won’t act on them, so instead just makes her feel crappy about her life choices.

NO is a full sentence Chloe. NO should be in your vocabulary at the very least…

These stories are part of the reason why women believe being alone is the absolute worst thing that could ever happen to a them

I finished the first book in this two book collection, and it just wasn’t for me. The writing was cringey, and I found the MC to be immature and unlikable.

Spring with Finn was a workout.
Summer with Dune was an adventure.

Chole is experiencing new things but she's only got a few more seasons left to decide if the route she's on will really help her get over her crush.

So fun and hilarious. LP and KM really know what their doing when it comes to rom-coms.

I genuinely laughed out loud at multiple points while reading this.

Quick plot recap: Chloe is hung up on friend Austin, and in a dating slump. Her bestie convinces her to join an online dating app (aptly ridiculously named, and I loved all the rock related jokes throughout), and these two books serve as the journey of the first two guys that she tries to date.

I really liked Chloe, despite her sometimes coming off as a little too self-defeating or ignorant (am I the only one who already knew what “old lady” meant?). My personal preference isn’t for alpha males, but Chloe was likeable enough that I started actively wanting it for her.

Also, I was impressed that the dates aren’t made into cartoon villains. We understand why Chloe is dating them, and also why they aren’t fundamentally compatible. It’s well done.

There are four more in the series that I haven’t read yet, but would like to.

I picked up Dating Season because I saw somewhere Helena Hunting recommended it and said it was funny. Man, it was super funny! Just some good laugh out loud romantic comedy, but sadly not super satisfying.

Chloe is hopelessly in love with Austin, one of her best friends. She compares every guy to him and he’s in a committed relationship that isn’t going anywhere. Her bestie signs her up for a dating app and she dates two extremely unique dudes - Finn in the spring and Dune in the summer. Finn is super fit and into being super fit. He offers some steamy sexy antics and not a lot of substantial content to Chloe’s life as she miserably tries to fit into his world. After unsuccessfully trying to conform herself to fit into Finn’s world, Chloe starts dating biker/accountant Dune who is pierced and tatted up. His bad boy nature appeals to Chloe, but his BDSM lifestyle ultimately is their undoing. There are absolutely some hilarious antics along the way, but nothing really makes Austin disappear from Chloe’s mind.

The end of this was super unsatisfying. I expected to have a happy ending but instead was left hanging with a promo for yet another season of Chloe dating. I wanted the Austin thing to happen, because clearly it will. I wanted Chloe to stop molding herself to fit these dudes that obviously aren’t for her, but no such luck. I just feel let down, but the laughs were good and some of the steamy parts were
