I am finding a lot of new favorite authors lately, and I think Jenny L. Howe has to be one of them! How to Get a Life in Ten Dates is everything I love in a rom-com because it is hilarious while also having lots of depth. Like a Hallmark movie, it is likely you will see where this one is headed, but that doesn’t take way from the enjoyment of it. The dogs 🐶 in the book are adorable, and questionnaires the men have to fill out to date Haleigh are priceless. Howe’s humor felt much like my own, and I appreciated that she made anxiety a part of the story. There is a bit of spice, but it wasn’t overly spicy, and I felt like it fit quite nicely into the storyline.
I loved how authentic the characters in How to Get a Life in Ten Dates were and I don’t think there was anyone better to voice the audiobook than Billie Bryant. She hasn’t narrated much yet according to Libro.fm and I need her to voice more romance stat! She did such a wonderful job with this book and perfectly portrayed Haleigh from beginning to end. I also loved the growth that the characters (especially Haleigh) went through, and by the end I was a little teary over it. I will definitely be reading more of Howe’s work ASAP!
Read this if you enjoy romance books featuring younger characters (our FMC is only 25), a focus on fat (not derogatory here) women trying to find love in a tough dating world, and a dose of family drama.
