Genre: Romance

Star Rating: ☆☆☆

"We all experience attraction differently, Some of us fall in and out of love easily. Some of us don't experience romantic love at all. Some of us have to fight to let ourselves be vulnerable enough to fall in love. Some of us have to fight to let other people love us. Some of us need emotional intimacy in order to experience sexual attraction. All love and ways of loving are love."

Oooof, this is painful for me because I know this will be a very unpopular opinion, but I didn't love Kiss Her Once For Me. It may be because I had such high expectations after reading (and LOVING) The Charm Offensive last year.

A lot was going on within this book, but one of the most significant issues is that I struggled with the whole instalove thing. I can't understand how someone could fall in love with someone else in one day and spend the next year pining over them. I also didn't feel the chemistry between Ellie and Jack - something was there, but I needed more to keep me invested in their story.

But because I refuse not to have anything positive to say - I loved Meemaw and Lovey. Those two ladies were an absolute hoot, and they had me giggling/rolling with laughter almost every time they were present in the book. I would happily read their stories any day because they were a delight.

Again, I understand that my review is unpopular, and I have no issue with that. I want you to read Kiss Her Once For Me and love it because I think Alison Cochran is a phenomenal writer, and I will happily read her next book.
