Fun distracting rom com romp!

As usual, Christina Lauren delivers a book that sucks you in and takes you on a ride in the universe she creates. This was a talk fun one, with loads of funny dialogue and situations throughout. Definitely the kind of book I needed right now!

3.5 stars

I have always found Christina Lauren's books to be hit or miss.

Not for me. But I'm thrilled to say that The Honey-Don't List is another hit. I thought this book was adorable! It was funny, there was tangible chemistry between the two leads, and I loved the design/construct HGTV couple set-up. James is just my type (wears suits and glasses? SWOON). Carey (sidenote: I love that name) was charming, and it was a joy to see her grow. I admired how her dystonia was a regular part of the plot. It certainly added complexity to her relationship with the Tripps. Speaking of them, I actually loved both Melly and Rusty. I thought Melly was such a compelling character. She clearly wasn't so tyrannical from the start, so it was a thrill to dive into why she behaves that way now. I definitely recommend this romance!

Best quotes:
"I want to make her life better by being the best thing in it."
“'We’re the top trend!' Melly shouts, dropping into James’s vacant seat. 'Take that, Joanna Gaines.'”
"So this is what it feels like to be with someone who wants to give simply for the pleasure of it."

This book was not one of my favorites. I have liked other ones better.

Cute fun rom com. 3.5 for me, not my favorite by this author, but easy book to pass time and again, super cutesy story.
