In "Not You Again," overworked event planner Becca Witherspoon agreed to go on a series of blind dates set up by her best friends because they believed it was time for her to move on after the end of her engagement two years earlier. Becca had no intention of actually getting involved in a relationship, but she was tired of her friends nagging and worrying about her and figured that going on a few dates would be an easy way to get them to back off. Unfortunately, her first several dates ended in disaster with jack-of-all-trades Jacob Kim as a witness, and sparks ended up flying for Becca. Unfortunately, those sparks were with Jacob, not any of the men chosen by Becca's well-meaning friends.
Becca was a very likeable lead character and I found it easy to empathize with everything she was going through. At
the same time, I couldn't help but wish that she was better about standing up for
herself, especially with her boss, Amanda. As
for Jacob, it was tough to really get to know him because the entire story was
told from Becca's point of view, and there were a number of times I wished we had gotten his perspective on events. That said, he seemed like a great guy and I
liked him and Becca together. I hope we'll get updates on their
relationship in future books about Becca's friends.
Overall, I enjoyed "Not You Again" and would recommend it for chick lit, contemporary romance, and romantic comedy fans. I look forward to the next book in the series.

About "Not You Again"
Four blind dates in five days. I can't believe I agreed to this.
Actually, I can. That’s what I do. I agree to things I don’t want to do to make other people happy. In this case, my four best friends. They’re worried about me and if going on a few dates will make them happy, then I’ll do it. How bad could they be?
I probably shouldn’t have asked that.
I’m starting to seriously wonder if my friends know me at all. Each pick is worse than the last, and none of them compare to my former fiancé. But then I guess maybe that’s the point. Someone new to help me forget the old.
To help me move on.
Except I don’t need a man to prove that I’ve moved on. Why can’t my friends understand that? And why does the same beautiful stranger keep saving me from these awful encounters? The universe seems to be throwing him into my path, and the more time I spend with him the more I wish that he was one of the dates.
There’s one more date left and I can’t help but wonder if he’ll pop up again. How many chance encounters can two people have? Pittsburgh is a big city so the chances are slim.
But what if…?
