No More Bad Dates by Kate O'Keeffe
4.0
I liked it a lot!
This is not one of my favourites, when it comes to rom-coms, but it was pretty close. It was a pretty good feel-good book, that improved my mood heavily when I was reading [b:Blood & Honey|40550366|Blood & Honey (Serpent & Dove, #2)|Shelby Mahurin|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1580922495l/40550366._SY75_.jpg|62967372]. That book is depressing. Honestly. *shakes head*
Anyway, that book will be dealt with in it's own review, so let's get back to the book in question.
So, I loved the waitressing, barista-ing (I have no idea what the actual word for that will be), managing part of this. It shows you the struggles of keeping open a small business that has a lot of competition. It's not easy, and sometimes you have to make sacrifices. I'm glad everything worked out in the end though!
The roommate trope is one of my favourites (you might have guessed, I love BBC Sherlock fanfiction). The best book I've read in this trope is [b:The Flatshare|36478784|The Flatshare|Beth O'Leary|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1552471375l/36478784._SY75_.jpg|58189559] (I just loved that book). And this book didn't disappoint a lot on that front.
The friends-to-lovers transition doesn't happen till the very end, so it requires quite a bit of patience. Especially since Sophie is horrible at realising feelings. That part dragged on for a lot, and I was running out of patience with her.
The friends were awesome, but I don't think I'm interested enough to continue with their books. Or the prequels.
The dating pact was really good, and the constant bad dates reminded me a lot of [b:Would Like to Meet|44284639|Would Like to Meet|Rachel Winters|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1551814458l/44284639._SY75_.jpg|68800197], though that had had a lot more dates. There were like only 3? or maybe 4, in this book.
I liked it, and I recommend it to anyone who likes romance, pining, seemingly unrequited feelings, protagonists who don't know what feelings they're feeling, waitressing & barista-ing & managing, slight roommate trope, and stories with bad dates.
