The Rom Con by Devon Daniels

5.0

Cassidy is done with dating. And when her grandmother gives her an article from the 1950s called “125 Tips to Hook a Husband” Cassidy views this outdated dating advice as a joke. Since she’s a journalist, she decides to try some of the tips and document her experiences for the online publication she writes for. Even better, on her first night testing out these tips she meets Jack, the man behind a rival publication centered around men. Cassidy decides he will be her target so she can embarrass him and expose his sexist ways. But in the process she begins to develop real feelings for Jack. And those outdated tips, they actually seem to work.

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days is my all-time favorite rom com, and when I saw the premise of this, I knew I was in for a treat. Then when she quoted the movie and mentioned the love fern in the first few pages, I was sold. I LOVED this book. The laugh out loud moments, the snarky and strong heroine, fun pop culture references, Gran’s sarcastic quips - it all came together to create a fun book that had me smiling throughout. Cassidy and Jack were amazing main characters with great chemistry. I loved seeing the layers to Jack and he wasn’t quite what I expected in the best way. This book was fun but also had depth and is one I will definitely be coming back to!

Thank you to Berkley Publishing and NetGalley for the advance copy.
