The synopsis really drew me in and I really enjoyed the lgbtqia+ rep and plus size rep. I thought Hailey had potential as a character but I struggled to relate to her relentless focus on finding “the one,” especially with her family were pressuring her so much. While the concept of the dates held promise it clearly was just a thin device for Jack to decide he wanted Hailey enough to try. The friendship with Jack didn’t strike me as terribly healthy and I couldn’t bring myself to root for them to get together.

So, I just couldn't get into this book....it was likely me but I struggled with this one from start to finish and almost put it down for good. Long story short, I wanted Hayleigh to end up with the other guy, I said what I said. I also really wanted more from some of the secondary characters. It was humorous to see all the dates Hayleigh went on.

This was an easy, light read for me. I am sucker for the friends to lovers trope I have found out lately... lol This has a second chance trope as well. However it fell kind of flat on the tropes for me. One reason I have it 4 stars. I was rooting for the other guy (Brian) more than the MMC. I LOVED the FMC, she is by far the best character Howe has written. I will gladly read another one of her books!

Give me more body diversity in romances, I beg.
How to Get a Life in Ten Dates is giving me life. With a beautiful emphasis on mental health and plenty of humor, it's a trippingly relatable romp that you'll tear through faster than speed-dating.
