Not Like the Movies by Kerry Winfrey
Le SWOON!!! This book was a treat and gave me all the mushy feels. I devoured the whole thing in one day, staying up *way* too late to finish.
PLOT:
When Chloe's best friend writes a new Hollywood RomCom about her will-they-won't-they tension with her hot boss Nick, Chloe is seriously upset. Because now she can't stop realizing how attractive he is! She's got a lot on her plate between going back to school and caring for her dad with Alzheimer's and doesn't think she has it in her to take care of anyone else. Good thing Nick is an adult and doesn't need her to take care of him.
THOUGHTS:
The descriptions of her yearning for Nick were seriously wonderful to read. And who doesn't love a curmudgeon who only lets one special lady under his skin? I thought the plot was fun, moved well, and had a lot of funny moments. There was definitely enough awww and squee! moments for me as well. I did think she probably could have come to her realization a bit quicker... but that's a rom-com for you, gotta stick around for the grand gesture (of which I wish this one was BIGGER!)
HERO: 🍆🍆🍆🍆🍆
HEROINE: 🍑🍑🍑🍑 - she lost one for me because she just HAD to not realize things quick enough one more time!
RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
