How Not to Fall in Love, Actually by Catherine Bennetto
4.0
3.5
Love the narrator! She’s got different voices for all the characters so it brings them to life!
But story-wise, it is not what the cover depicted it to be. Laugh out loud? Once in a while maybe, but I don’t see it that funny. The story’s a bit silly, to be honest, for one thing, most of the characters are too peculiar to be real, which, of course, makes the story too fake to relate to. Then a lot of the characters around the heroine, Emma, are not very nice, only a few which she really likes tend to be nice people. Emma is also quite annoying sometimes because she’s always accusing others when she doesn‘t even know that much about them. Besides, I don’t really feel the romance there, although she does mention that while she was busy doing some other things, she falls in love with Joe, still it is just not convincing.
