The Subway Girl by Lisa Becker
5.0
How far would you go to find the person that captures your eye across a room or a crowded subway? This book covers just that very thing but is it so Ryan can find this one woman or is it for ratings of an online magazine/celebrity gossip news source?
Ryan is a kind and endearing soul and it isn't hard to see why anyone would be attracted to him. He comes across as that perfect guy, but no one is perfect and I think Ryan's downfall is he doesn't realize that he doesn't want this mystery woman when Angie has captured his interest and possibly his heart.
Angie was burned by a past relationship and when she agrees to help Ryan find this mystery woman, he is just another job. That is until they spend hours scrolling through videos of those that have responded to his plea. It doesn't take long before she realizes the person that Ryan is and falls in love but takes a back seat to this work project.
This is a story of the search for a perfect relationship and sometimes you don't know what you right under your nose until you lose it and then are miserable wanting it back.
I enjoyed the banter between Ryan and Angie and the addition of their friends/roommate/co-workers just rounded the story out. Josie is a true friend and has her own ideas about men and relationships which is a boon to Angie when she has her rollercoaster moments. Diego and Luke provide some great comic relief but are also Ryan's support system. There is a side story with Luke and Josie that I think would make a great book, so maybe the author has that the works? We can hope! Ryan's younger sister is a hoot. She knows her brother well and likes to poke fun at him when the situation arises.
But no story has all likable characters. Barry is the sleazeball owner of Gossip Monger and is all about the dollar and using anyone and everyone to pull in higher ratings for his shows. Frankie is Ryan's ex-girlfriend who wants to try and get back with Ryan for the publicity. You could say she is Barry's dream come true! Harlan is a character that is on the fence. He could go either way - slimeball or friend.
I enjoyed the banter between the characters and watching Ryan and Angie's story develop. It wasn't a smooth road but it all works out in the end.
