I am pretty sure I saw this book recommended on Twitter or something similar, something associated with CBR. I don’t read very much romance, but always want to try something new to me and this seemed like a good summer fluff book. This book was so fun!

Like a bad sitcom
I don’t know why I read this book. I didn’t particularly like the first one.

Instead, I’m going to make arguments against the detractions I’ve read about The Rosie Project which will hopefully help illuminate for you why it is a four star book for me. As this book is pretty well reviewed around these parts […]
