There is so much to love in the Love Hack by Sophie Ranald. First, the main female character is a delight. She is bright and resourceful, and when she is about to be made redundant at her online magazine job, she comes up with a way to continue to be employed as an advice columnist for a man’s magazine. This will be a challenge since she doesn’t understand men at all and has stayed away from romance since a bad love affair a few years ago.

What I really liked about this novel was seeing Sophie confront and conquer many challenges, the strong relationship she had with her family, particularly her sister, the slow burn of two work colleagues who are attracted to each other, and the humor between friends, co-workers, and the advice columns.

All the characters are well-developed and complex, and the romcom plot is rooted in reality. Such a fun read!

The Love Hack by S. Ranald, published by Storm Publishing, is a wonderful, charming story.
An heartwarming read that gives all the warm and fuzzy feelings. A beautiful story, well written, beautifully thought out and beautifully told. An happy place.
Blurb: She’s a rookie advice columnist. He’s her office crush. It’s about to get complicated.
Landing a new job as online agony uncle “Ask Adam” Lucy dishes out relationship tips to men. But when it comes to her own love life, she’d rather spend Friday nights curled up on her sofa with Netflix and her cat, Astro. That is, until she meets Ross, her new co-worker who makes her snort with laughter at his silly jokes and sets off butterflies in her stomach when his hazel eyes meet hers over his laptop. After her last work boyfriend broke her heart, Lucy swore she’d never fall for someone in the office again. And she’s just about to have two more good reasons not to.
An email has just landed in the “Ask Adam” inbox and Lucy is convinced it’s from Ross. He’s most definitely not single. As her advice column goes viral and her inbox overflows with problems, Lucy turns to her AI assistant for help decoding romantic troubles, including her own. Can her state-of-the-art cupid really help her navigate her feelings for Ross? Or will the truth behind “Ask Adam” turn her non-existent love life into a hot mess?
A totally heart-warming, feel-good, and relatable romantic comedy that will have you laughing and crying as you race through the pages.

I thought this was a fun, entertaining read and I really liked the FMC, Lucy. I do not envy her position in that she has to witness her love interest get cozy with someone else. Additionally Lucy has to bear witness to a not so fun situation with her sister that takes some real contemplation as to what to do. I think Lucy ended up handling things well and I am happy with the outcome. I like the title of this book but for some reason I wish it would have been titled "Ask Adam".

Overall, I enjoyed this rom com and I'm interested in reading some of this authors other works.
