Three things I love about this book:
Retro/Vintage everything.
Pop Culture references like crazy
Banter. Smart, smart banter

I adored Daniels first book so much and have been anxiously waiting for her sophomore novel to appear. It was absolutely worth the wait. When Cassidy's gran gives her some books and articles of dating advice from the 50's, she laughs. And then decides to use these tools to "catch a man" for an article for her job. This story levels up when her chosen target is rival website owner, Jack.

What Cassidy doesn't expect is for the tips to actually work and for Jack to be not only a little resistant, but more than she expected. It's smart and completely swoony. It's filled with excellent family and friends. It was completely bingeable and practically perfect. I can't wait to put my hands on a paper copy and reread parts as needed.

I liked Cassidy and Jack, and they seemed to be a good couple. The book was solidly fine. I finished it two nights ago, and I don't remember much of it, other than that some of the problems felt contrived. It was standard Rom-Com fare, as expected. There were a ton of pop culture references that felt appropriate since they both worked in media, but the references really did get old. Some of them felt really dated, too.

Thank you to NetGalley and Berkley for the ARC.

This was just what I wanted. It’s sweet, romantic, important and funny. Cassidy and Jack are such real characters and perfectly shine on the page. They are so real and flawed but work together to find their way to one another. Overall, I liked the cute story. It was unique in the offerings of romance novels that are out there.

I cannot even begin to say how much I enjoyed The Rom Com by Devon Daniels. I have a very full and long review to post but as I am recovering at the moment I just wanted to put down some quick thoughts. I’m always fond of a great book and Berkley never disappoints, but this may be one of my absolute favorites so far. How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days ha also been a huge favorite movie of mine so any book that has that type of vibe immediately grabs my attention. I feel there have been books trying to similarly capture what that movie had in book firm, but no one has quite got it like Devon Daniels. I was immediately drawn in and could picture Kate Hudson speaking the words of our book heroine. I loved her relationship with her grandmother, the relatable dialogue, and let’s not forget our love interest who was layered and interesting much Like Matthew McConaughey s character not just one dimensional. The cover was absolutely gorgeous and I know our readers are going to love this one! Definitely going to make this a book club pick and can’t wait to share my full review. Beyond thank ful Berkley I needed a great read to get me out of my reading slump and you outdid yourselves.
