How to Get a Life in Ten Dates
by Jenny L. Howe
3.5 ⭐️
This one started out strong and I really was enjoying the overall premise. Where a group of people get to pick two people each for her to go on a date with. Each date have to fill out a quirky survey to get to know them better before hand. Meanwhile she is struggling with feelings for her bestfriend.
Some of the dates were pretty cute, funny, or quirky. I appreciated that the main FMC was bi and she had dates with both men and women. At about the 60% mark this book started falling apart. It was predictable where it was going but I just didn't feel that tension save chemistry between them. I found myself skimming the last 20% as I lost all interest.
I would be interested in reading more from Jenny Howe. The story was well written and I enjoyed the dialogue a lot. I find that the trope of them getting together off page prior to the story starting and then figuring out later what they are to each other just doesn't work for me I think that is what lost a lot of that build up tension that I enjoy in romance novels. It was a bit deflated before it even started.
Thank you to NetGalley and St Martins Press for this advanced reader copy. My review is voluntarily my own.
