omqchristi 's review for:
Meet Cute
by Helena Hunting
Readability: 4/5
Plot: 3/5
Recommend: No
Kailyn has been been a fan of Daxon ever since he was on her favorite show. But after going to and gratuation from law school, her opinion of Daxton has gone sour. After stealing her top spot in school unethically, Kailyn is glad to never see him again. However, after five years of no contact, trouble in Daxton's life bring them back together and she can't help but change her mind.
It's probably a bad sign that it made me a little happy that Kailyn and Dax got into an argument and separated for a while.
I'm coming to terms with the idea that I do not like it when romances have two people who are in love with each other from the very start. Yes, in this particular story, Kailyn does have a small disliking for Dax at the beginning of the book, but it quickly fades. And of course, Dax's friend, Felix, is to blame. Why couldn't Dax just have been in the wrong? It would've been a great way to show how he is capable of change.
Another thing I didn't like was how obvious that Linda wanted custody of Emme for ulterior motives. Kailyn and Dax are not stupid, they went to law school and I haven't, yet I knew Linda was the reason the girls were caught with alcohol.
The fangirl aspect of the book was not exactly the best, or even necessary. There was no real reason for that aspect. Dax mentioned in the book it was the reason they had met, but it really wasn't. They met because they went to the same school and she walked into their frisbee game. Two things that occurred independently from the show and the fangirl aspect. Also, it was kind of odd how Kailyn hated Daxton, but was okay with having his face on her mug and having fan merch with him all over it. Obviously you can separate the character from the actor, but it really wasn't written that way, considering Kailyn frequently points out the similarities Dax and the character had and how that is pretty much all she knows about him.
And of course, everything works out and there's a happy ending. Dax and Kailyn now work together, are in an official relationship, and live together. Linda lost her job and Emme is no longer stressed out. Not only that, but she got to meet all of the actors from her favorite show.
This story wasn't really that original, and it had a cliche happy ending. The first I can live with, but I want more ambiguity with my endings. (It's honestly a nitpick and an acquired taste.)
