Can you fall in love like they do in the movies?It's Evie Summers's job to find out. Because if she can't convince her film agency's biggest client, Ezra Chester, to write the romantic-comedy screenplay he owes producers, her career will be over. The catch? He thinks rom-coms are unrealistic--and he'll only put pen to paper if Evie shows him that it's possible to meet a man in real life the way it happens on the big screen.Cynical Evie might not believe in happily ever after, but she'll do what it takes to save the job that's been her lifeline . . . even if it means reenacting iconic rom-com scenes in public. Spilling orange juice on a cute stranger? No problem. Leaving her number in books all over London to see who calls? Done. With a little help from her well-meaning friends--and Ben and Anette, the adorable father-daughter duo who keep witnessing her humiliations--Evie is determined to prove she can meet a man the way Sally met Harry. But can a workaholic who's given up on love find a meet-cute of her very own?

"2.5<br/><br/>This was pretty disappointing. I wasn't expecting too much from this but it still didn't really live up to my expectations. <br/><br/>The overall story is not my favorite. It has so much secondhand embarrassment and cringing. It does have a few scenes and elements that are really enjoyable. The major point about the story is it's based off of rom-coms. <br/><br/>The romance is honestly quite frustrating because there's not enough communication. I could tell who she was going to end up with from the moment I met the guy. Whenever the rival came on the scene and tried to be romantic, it was just annoying since they had pretty much zero chemistry. <br/><br/>The side characters felt more real than the main character. Ben and Anette were so much more complicated and deep than Evie. It's kind of a problem. Ezra's name was pretty unrealistic (at least in the US) and his nickname NOB wasn't any better. <br/><br/>Evie's friends were basically a copy/paste from other novels and cliches. <br/> • Jeremy - gay. Real sweetheart. Probably my favorite out of the friends. <br/> • Maria - I dunno. She didn't really stand out to me. <br/> • Sarah - so annoying. Kinda hate her but she's nice to Evie so she does have her good point. <br/>The author had so much potential with these people. It was disappointing. <br/><br/>The writing style wasn't my favorite. It felt weak and inadequate in some spots. The messaging was interesting but the emails were slightly confusing. Nothing really outstanding but it worked. <br/><br/>I liked the cover. The art style is good, but I don't like how they did the eyes. <br/><br/>Overall, if you're looking for a cheesy book with your favorite rom-com tropes you'll probably enjoy it."
"If you like a comedy of errors/embarrassments, this is the rom com book for you. I expected it to be more my taste, but I found it hard to get through. The ending was very satisfying though! "

"I’m not sure. I haven’t read it yet. I just know I want to. The cover makes it look interesting. I am usually a good judge of character when it comes to books. "

"What I Liked:<br/>1. Annette and Ben - mostly Annette though. Annette is such an outgoing kid and she was so nice to Evie and constantly trying to make her feel included. When Ben eventually warmed up to Evie, he became the best character. The way he went out of his way to help Evie with everything, re-planned the entire bachelorette party, and then paying even more to fix it when everything went wrong! He didn’t have to do any of those things and he did anyway. Honestly, Ben and Annette are too good for Evie. <br/><br/>2. Evie’s friends - they were so supportive and constantly there for each other whenever anything went wrong. They were even really nice and understanding about Evie ruining Sarah’s bachelorette party. You can tell that they are ride or die friends and I loved that. <br/><br/>What I Didn’t Like:<br/>1. Ezra - everything about Ezra Chester sucked. He didn’t have anything written, then stole Evie’s writing and take credit for it, and then make moves on her she didn’t want. All-in-all the dude was just straight awful. <br/><br/>2. Evie - she was also pretty unlikable. She was really selfish. She caused a to of unnecessary drama with Ben and Annette and ended up hurting them, which was rude. She was also mean to her friends and literally ruined her best friends bachelorette party."
