How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days gets a millennial makeover in this romantic comedy by USA Today bestselling author Andie J. Christopher.“The way Jack sets out to win Hannah back is really the stuff of true romance.”—NPRJack Nolan is a gentleman, a journalist, and unlucky in love. His viral success has pigeon-holed him as the how-to guy for a buzzy, internet media company instead of covering … buzzy, internet media company instead of covering hard-hitting politics. Fed up with his fluffy articles and the app-based dating scene as well, he strikes a deal with his boss to write a final piece de resistance: How to Lose a Girl. Easier said than done when the girl he meets is Hannah Mayfield, and he’s not sure he wants her to dump him.
Hannah is an extremely successful event planner who’s focused on climbing the career ladder. Her firm is one of the most prestigious in the city, and she’s determined to secure her next promotion. But Hannah has a bit of an image problem. She needs to show her boss that she has range, including planning dreaded, romantic weddings. Enter Jack. He’s the perfect man to date for a couple weeks to prove to her boss that she’s not scared of feelings.
Before Jack and Hannah know it, their fake relationship starts to feel all too real—and neither of them can stand to lose each other.

A sexy, updated twist on the classic rom-com How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.
After seeing what this book was going to be about I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. This was a fun quick read. I love How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days so I knew I was going to love this book. I love how the roles were reversed and Jack is the journalist. Hannah is biracial and struggles with her identity. Jack and Hannah have great chemistry. A chance encounter has them helping each other. I enjoyed watching them navigate through everything. I really enjoyed Not the Girl You Marry and recommend it.

I love the movie How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days, so I was looking forward to this one.
However, Not The Girl You Marry and I were not a good fit. I nearly DNF’d it a few times, but I persisted with it as it had something that made me keep going.
It really was just retelling the movie with different character names. All that was missing was Jack and Hannah singing “You’re so Vain” at the end of the book. It needed more originality to really work.
I am sure plenty of others will enjoy this book, but it was a miss for me.
It was really funny and a great read! A great was to escape the craziness
