This was a well written, great beach read. I loved the writing style and will definitely seek out more of this authors work.
Many thanks to SoulMate Publishing and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

Tracy gets stood up by her husband on her birthday. She is hit by a woman on a bicycle and falls and hits her head. She then decides to take an apartment in New York while her husband is in Connecticut. She wants him to move to New York and he wants her to come back to Connecticut. He has a reality tv show following him because he is a mayor of a small town.
The tv station Tracy works for is going up for sale She then has to worry about her future employment with the station.
She sees a woman that looks like Katharine Hepburn that rides a bicycle and a gentlemen in her apartment building that looks like Cary Grant.
This a wonderful fun book

Realistische "Märchenerzählung" über Menschen mit Ecken und Kanten und alltäglichen Problemen. Schön rund mit unvorhersehbarem Ende. Glaubwürdige Geschichte über das Leben, Träume, Erwartungen und zweiten Chancen.

Thank you to the publisher for granting my wish and sending me a copy of this book. Unfortunately it wasn't really the book for me, although it sounded great. I am a big fan of the Night In With Audrey, Marilyn and Grace Kelly Books. I couldn't get into this and got bored.

This book was a granted wish from the publisher via NetGalley.
The reason i wished for this book in the first place was of course the title, i didn't even read the summary, who wouldn't want to date Cary Grant!
The idea of having a neighbour as charming as your favorite Hollywood actor was definitely enticing and in many scenes i found myself laughing so hard at the various encounters of Tracy with this neighbour who looks and acts so much like Cary Grant.

I enjoyed the boom a lot. i liked the fact that, under all the humour and the funny misfortunes of Tracy, it actually touched some deep topics. The complicated relationships of married couples, the compromises, the eternal "my prosperous career over my marriage or working on my marriage and letting go of my dreams" Dilemma for both sexes, as well as the problems of Reality TV and the occasional trashy topics they come up with.
It did not feel just like a nice funny romance but it had some deep dimension to it and i liked that.
The characters were also interesting and funny and i found myself involved in their lives, trying to imagine how the end would be, what kind of compromise they would find and all that.

Overall this was a very entertaining and enjoyable book and one of the results of reading it is that i ended up with a rather long list of movies featuring Cary Grant that i absolutely need to watch soon.

I really enjoyed Dating Cary Grant, it was a totally charming book. I am a huge Cary Grant fan, so the title drew me in, but the story kept me reading! It felt like it could be a romantic comedy movie from the 1940's. A really good read!

Such a fun read! Loved the ghosts of Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn! This charming story truly had the feel of old Hollywood movies.
