There are three things you need to know about Sandra Fielding:
1) She makes all her first dates cry,
2) She hasn't been kissed in over two years, and
3) She knows how to knit.
Sandra has difficulty removing her psychotherapist hat. Of her last 30 dates, 29 have ended the same way: the man sobbing uncontrollably. After one such disaster, Sandra gives in to a seemingly harmless encounter with her hot waiter, Alex. Argumentative, secretive, and hostile Alex may be the opposite of everything Sandra knows is right for her. But now, the girl who has spent all her life helping others change for the better, must find a way to cope with falling for someone who refuses to change at all.
I am still very much enjoying Penny Reid’s writing and her characters. This book gives us Sandra’s story. Overall I really enjoyed Sandra and Alex’s romance. I loved their interactions at the restaurant and the ending. The bit in the middle got a tad annoying with Sandra’s constant referrals to Alex’s age. Like I get that he’s a bit younger, but he is legal (as he points out repeatedly). It seemed odd to focus on that and not the “I can’t tell you about why the government wants me in a jail cell.” But, I just kept reminding myself that this series has fun, if a bit outlandish, romantic comedy plots. Just go with it! I can’t wait to see what happens next. (P.S. Elizabeth and Nico is still my favorite.)
