Rachel, Out of Office by Christina Hovland
3.0
"The thing about perfection, she realized . . . was that it didn't really exist. It's a phantom that drove her to try to do better when she was doing her very best to begin with. Turned out, sometimes making a mess of things actually made her happier."
I adore Christina Hovland's Mile High Matched series, so I was eager to try her new contemporary romance Rachel, Out of Office. Filled with fun mom-wisdom quotes at the beginning of each chapter, Rachel's story is a blend of light-hearted humor, sweet-heat, and embracing happiness instead of to-do lists. Mother or not, we can related to endless list, perfectionism, and struggling to say no. Like Rachel we try to be super human, but just end up super tired. Different from her face-paced and steamy rom-coms, this slower-tempo ─ little bit angsty ─ read has great family/friend dynamics and laugh-out-loud shenanigans that make for an enjoyable read.
