A review by fuchsiarascal
How to Get a Life in Ten Dates by Jenny L. Howe

emotional funny hopeful lighthearted
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

5.0

Maybe a 4.5 because I didn't love this *as* much as On the Plus Side, but that's a high bar and this was still a quite enjoyable read that I finished in one day. Also, I'm pretty sure Jenny L. Howe very specifically stalked me and my sister when I was 25 to write our exact relationship down on these pages? (Golden child law school student in Boston versus the literature major "mess"... right down to the father who died when we were younger... yep.) How does she keep writing me into these books? lol

I gotta be honest, I was rooting for Brian all the way up until that last date... I'm glad she threw in the curve ball
of him not liking reading
to kick him out of the running for my book boyfriend.

I'll write a more detailed review on my blog later but for now, I've got end-and-beginning of the year write-ups to make!
