The Bookworm's Guide to Dating by Emma Hart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
"The Bookworm's Guide to Dating" by Emma Hart was a charming,
sweet, and laugh-out-loud funny story that featured likeable, relatable
characters and an engaging plot. The chemistry between main characters
Kinsley and Josh was fantastic, and I adored their witty banter and
teasing. Most importantly, however, I appreciated the way that they not
only accepted but loved each other's flaws and eccentricities.
I
found Kinsley to be especially relatable because I, too, am a bookworm
and have a tendency to fall in love with (and get mad at) fictional
characters. She could sometimes be awkward around new people (and had
the less-than-stellar track record of dates to prove it), but Kinsley
was delightfully snarky and funny when she was with her friends, and it
was evident why Josh was so drawn to her. He tried to resist those
feelings because he didn't want to jeopardize his friendship with
Kinsley's brother, Colton, but that became more and more difficult after
he volunteered to serve as Kinsley's matchmaker and realized that the
only match he wanted her to make was with him.
Hart is a master
at creating lovably quirky secondary characters, and the ones in this
story were no exception. I particularly loved Josh and Kinsley's
grandparents and the other residents of their town's assisted living
facility. Their shenanigans related to the duck pond were hilarious!
Josh and Kinsley's friend group was also tremendously entertaining, and
I'm looking forward to learning more about them in future books.
Overall,
I absolutely loved "The Bookworm's Guide to Dating" and highly
recommend it for all fans of contemporary romantic comedy. I can't wait
to get my hands on the next book in this series!
