Most men can't handle Hazel. But her best friend Josh isn't most men. Don't miss New York Times bestselling author Christina Lauren's new novel about two people who are definitely not dating...no matter how often they end up in bed together. Hazel Camille Bradford knows she's a lot to take--and frankly, most men aren't up to the challenge. If her army of pets and thrill for the absurd don't send them running, her lack of filter means she'll say exactly the wrong thing in a delicate moment. Their loss. She's a good soul in search of honest fun. Josh Im has known Hazel since college, where her zany playfulness proved completely incompatible with his mellow restraint. From the first night they met--when she gracelessly threw up on his shoes--to when she sent him an unintelligible email while in a post-surgical haze, Josh has always thought of Hazel more as a spectacle than a peer. But now, ten years later, after a cheating girlfriend has turned his life upside down, going out with Hazel is a breath of fresh air. Not that Josh and Hazel date. At least, not each other. Because setting each other up on progressively terrible double blind dates means there's nothing between them...right?
I read this book in one day. It was really that great. Trust me, rom com fans, this is one worth buying. Josh and Hazel were funny, lovable & real.
Cute but predictable
Published by Danielle , 6 years ago
Cute, fun, fast paced, and an easy read. I really enjoyed the character development and how they connected with one another. The biggest disconnect for me was the predictability of the book from the very beginning. This isn’t the typical genre I gravitate towards but I did enjoy it. I definitely want to read more by these authors!
