How to Get a Life in Ten Dates
by Jenny L. Howe
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
No
Loveable characters:
Complicated
The synopsis really drew me in and I really enjoyed the lgbtqia+ rep and plus size rep. I thought Hailey had potential as a character but I struggled to relate to her relentless focus on finding “the one,” especially with her family were pressuring her so much. While the concept of the dates held promise it clearly was just a thin device for Jack to decide he wanted Hailey enough to try. The friendship with Jack didn’t strike me as terribly healthy and I couldn’t bring myself to root for them to get together.
