How to Fail at Flirting by Denise Williams
5.0
How to Fail at Flirting follows Naya, a college professor in a struggling academic department, as she assembles a to-do list for getting her life back. When she meets Jake, he’s the charming out-of-town visitor eager to build her confidence through spontaneous activities on her bucket list. It feels too good to be true – and soon enough, the truth comes out and Naya is confronted with decisions that will impact her professional and personal life.
Welp. This book sealed the deal for me – @nicwillwrites is officially on my “must-read author” list. I adored the sequel first (The Fastest Way to Fall), but these are standalone books that you can absolutely read out of order and not worry about any significant spoilers.
This book felt authentic and real – not only because of the ties to higher ed (the jokes were a little too spot-on), but also the ideas that there can be joy after trauma and it’s worth the fight to reclaim your life after challenging times. Even though the cover looks whimsical, do not be fooled - this book is not light and dives deep into serious topics (CW: abusive relationship on page). Ultimately, to me the testament of a 5-star read is that all of my emotions are brought to the surface, and this book took me on a roller coaster (or should I say, Navy Pier Ferris Wheel) of a ride.
