Hilarious read!
I literally LOL’ed throughout this book. Lots to enjoy here!
Fans of Erynn Mangum’s Maya Davis or Lauren Holbrook series will particularly enjoy the read. Many similarities!
I related to Jack ever so much as an introvert...(in fact, that’s why I picked up the book—heard there were “introvert problems”). Ha! The descriptions were uncannily accurate. :D

So good. The dialogue reminded me a bit of Lorelei & Rory, the cerebral introvert character felt really authentic, the Christian content didn't feel preachy. I actually found myself highlighting sections that challenged how I perceive others and live out my faith. Laugh out loud funny + a dose of Hallmark cheesiness that's embraced for that, along with a "we would never work because we're so different" romance = a fun, satisfying, yet thoughtful read.
I couldn’t put this down. I read it on my lunch break at work, in my car in the parking lot, and as soon as I got home. I devoured it because it was just that good! Highly recommend
This book is something SPECIAL. Quirky, witty, thought provoking, and just plain FUN. I’m literally going to read it again right now!

Ever since I read Turtles in the Road I’ve been waiting with bated breath for this mother/daughter duo to release another novel. The wait is over!! And despite the lack of a homicidal terrapin rampage (seriously, read their first book for this alone!), this story was every bit as enjoyable as I was anticipating. Not only is it a quintessential “opposites attract” story, but the interplay between these characters—the banter, the random conversational tangents, and even Jack’s bewilderment at it all—invites you to curl up in your favourite armchair and settle in for some laughs. The gentle poke at various Heartcast clichés is just the icing on the cake.
In this case, “opposites attract” means introvert meets extrovert. Jack Bentley is one of the most adorably introverted characters I’ve ever met. He doesn’t make social plans (“strangers and awkward and being socially exhausted”), he doesn’t like to ad lib, on stage or off (“Freestyle conversation did not overlap any of his areas of talent” and “He often had to work up the will and rehearse his words to order food at the drive-thru”), and he’s a contemplator. Harlow, on the other hand, lives life at full speed, and you only have to spend two minutes with her before you realise that her whole life is ad libbed. And that goes double when she’s with her brother and sister-in-law.
The thing that took this novel from a great concept to a fantastic read was the authentic and winsome characterisation and the way in which Harlow and Jack were challenged to grow as they became aware of their developing feelings for one another (which happened in very different but characteristic ways for each of them). Basically, pick this book up and the smile won’t leave your face.
I received a copy of this novel from the author. This has not influenced the content of my review, which is my honest and unbiased opinion.

This book is a LOT of fun!! Such fun and witty banter, some truly unique and hilarious lines (no joke, I actually laughed out loud) along with some real depth and relatable characters that you feel like you could be friends with. A really wonderful read!
