"We are following Jo on her dating journey in a feel-good book. We witness Jo going on a few dates with men who are not the right match for her, and her criteria involves a high score in Scrabble words. One date she didn't expect was with a man named Ras, a local doctor who had a low Scrabble score of 3 points. Despite her rules that prevent her from dating him, she couldn't resist his invitation to organize a Scrabble festival with him, after being disappointed by another man named Tarquin, who had a higher score of 16 points.

The Scrabble festival really made me want to go and play with others. I love how Ras and Jo organized it and got the local community involved. I haven't read the first book in the series, but I will be going back and reading more from this author as it's a laugh-out-loud moment. It has some really sweet moments, and dealing with dating in a different way is fun."
