The 24 Hour Dating Agency by Mary Jayne Baker
4.0
This is one of those where i can't quite tell if it's a romcom because it doesn't quite hit the usual beats. It's almost like 3 romcom novellas, all threaded together? Anyway, this was a fun take on using a bunch of different tropes, and also the first romance novel i have read with a ventriloquist LI so that's really something! It was a fastpaced read with some workplace drama thrown in (which i always love--could have handled more, but i loved the caper feel of the power going out and having to figure out what to do.
The thing that didn't quite work for me was the dating agency itself. Like was there a whole part cut that made its existence, elusiveness, and financial structure make sense? Is the proprietor going to get her own follow-up book? I was not clear on a lot of that. But overall, it was really fun!
This was a NetGalley ARC.
