Josh and Hazel's Guide to Not Dating by Christina Lauren

40189670Author: Christina Lauren
Title: Josh and Hazels Guide to not Dating
Genre: Contemporary romance
Publisher: Gallery Books

I saw that someone described this book as "pure fun" and I have to agree. Hazel is such a wonderful character and I loved how she loved herself. Sure, she was quite adamant that she was a bit loony, but she was also determined not to change for a man. You go, of course you shouldn't change for a man. Be you. Josh is also a great guy, funny, thoughtful and respectful.

What did you like about the book? Well, honestly, almost everything. It's not a complicated story with lots of intrigue, lies, action or anything and that's absolutely perfect. This is a book about Hazel and Josh getting to know each other. Becoming friends. Falling in love. It also has one of my favorite tropes - opposites attract! I adore watching people who are so completely different falling for each other, realizing they are still compatible and respect each other for their differences. I love how natural the entire thing is in this book.

Almost everything? Yes, there was one thing that made me a bit uneasy. How Hazel practically worships Josh. And people, including Hazel, says as much on multiple occasions. Yeah, that was my one negative thing about this book. Josh never took advantage of the fact that she worshipped him and that's what matters, I guess. Oh, I'm not so fond of how things ended, but the epilogue does include a little boy dressed as a Disney-princess, so I'm good.

Why should I read this? If you're looking for a fun, easy read with characters with great chemistry and respect for each other, I'd say - pick this up. Christina Lauren's writing style should be reason enough.

Sikta Högt av Heléne Holmström

Författare: Heléne Holmström Titel: Sikta Högt Förlag: Lovereads Genre: Romance Länkar:  Bokus  |  Adlibris  |  Goodreads Sikta högt är den fristående uppföljaren till Falla Fritt , en av mina storfavoriter inte bara förra året, utan överhuvudtaget. Det är alltid nervöst att ge sig in i samma värld, med glimtar av samma karaktärer, när det kommer en ny berättelse. Jag kan ju gärna överhajpa… Men här var det inget att vara nervös över. Holmström fångar in mig direkt med undran över vad en maffiaboss skulle ha gjort. Victoria är en karaktär som jag känner mycket för - hon är fyrtio, nyligen skild och har ett riktigt svin till exmake som verkar leva för att göra livet svårt för henne. Hon har gett upp mycket för honom och har inte ens ett arbete att komma tillbaka till. Dock ger hon inte upp. Drömmen om ett eget barn, ett stabilt liv och det faktum att hon är en stark, smart och självständig kvinna, får henne att jobba hårt och visa framfötterna. Erik är ocks...

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Author: Taylor Jenkins Reid Title: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo Genre: Fiction/Historical Publisher: Atria Books/Random House Audio Links:  Bokus  /  Book Depository  /  Goodreads Jenkins Reid does know how to write problematic characters. Evelyn Hugo isn't in any way all that likable. All the same, I felt for her story and in the end, she had a place in my heart. Why did that happen?  Evelyn Hugo has had a long life filled with success and heartbreak. When she starts telling her story to Monique, the young journalist she insists on sharing it with, we slowly but surely get a glimpse of a strong woman with a great desire to be someone. She's manipulative, smart and knows how to use her looks to get what she wants. The stories about how and why she married her husbands make me mostly sad, because this isn't really a happy book. I like happy books, but just as Daisy Jones, Evelyn had me so interested in her story that I held on till the ...

Meet Cute by Helena Hunting

Author: Helena Hunting Title: Meet Cute Publisher: Forever Published: 2019 Genre: Contemporary romance Links:  Book Depository  /  Bokus  /  Goodreads Oh, how I've missed reading romance. It's been a lot of fantasy and sci-fi for me lately, so now I felt like a pure romantic book. And I must say I choose good. This was a breeze to read, even if it made my heart squeeze multiple times. Dax loses his parents and gets custody of his 13-year old sister. Kailyn is the lawyer responsible for the sister’s trust and becomes conservator for her, as well, when their aunt sues for custody. It’s just that Kailyn and Dax had a thing for each other in college and did not end on the best of terms. And starting anything now isn’t exactly the ideal situation. What I liked about this book was the characters, I guess. The relationships between them and the way they handled the situations they were put in. Emme is probably the one a rooted most for, because she was a swe...
