Anything Penny writes is deliciously awkward and outright funny. But she’s outdone herself on this one. She’s the rom-com queen.
Thank you Penny Reid for writing this story. I absolutely love Janie. She is exceptionally bright, socially awkward and has steadfast friends. I wanted to be her friend and trivial pursuit partner. She believes that Quinn is a security guard and too hot and human to want anything to do with her Neanderthal body and brain.
This book made me laugh …
Penny Reid is a great story teller. She emits a myriad of emitions. My new goal is to read the entire series, I miss her characters that mych
I was put off by crude language and situations at beginning of book, but it got better.
Penny Reid’s characters never fail to make me cry-laugh with their wonderful conversations and thoughts. It’s so great to see a book that highlights friendships as much as the romance in the story. The characters are smart, hilarious, strong, loyal, and compassionate; what’s not to love?
I loved getting to know the characters at a deeper level and the laugh out loud moments sprinkled throughout the book. I fell in laugh with Janie, her quirks and struggles making sense of processing all of the emotions/feelings coming to life in her as life just happens around her in crazy and unexpected ways. Definitely want to read more from …
Loved It!
A super fun romp with great characters that have great chemistry and a witty rapport. It is the first in a series but a self contained. Will read the rest of the series.
First time read by this author. It was enjoyable and pleasant read. I did find humour in some parts, however not fan too much of 1st POV.
After losing her boyfriend, apartment and her job, Janie Morris wonders what will torment her next in life. To her amazment, in pops Quinn Sullivan who witnesses her demise and presents her an offer that is …
Read the entire series. Loved everyone of them. So easy to read. Loved them.
What a great read! Hilarious, wonderful, original story with strong, outstanding characters. Loved the give and take between all players in story. Fun and educational along with the romance. I’d give this book more than five stars if available.
Great storyline. Fun characters.
So glad I stumbled upon this fun series. Love all the knitting ladies.
This was my first Penny Reid book. I love her characters and how they interact with each other. So far, I’ve read all the Knitting in the City series and have started the Winston Brothers series. I suggest you read a couple to see if you agree with me.
A very smart written romance.
Friday night, a bottle of wine, and this book. A great start to a good weekend.
Some books are just good “pick me up” moments that create characters that are believable, funny and endearing. This is a perfect book to get you smiling and remind you how important all relationships are!
The main character Janie was a little weird but she made the storyline enjoyable. Good read.
I think the author thought she was wittier than reality proved her to be.
Fun to read, but perhaps the author should have identified the heroine as possibly on the Asberger spectrum. Then the reader might have understood her more, though this miggt detract from the comedy.
