Imagine the worst day you've ever had, and take comfort in the knowledge that Franny Doyle is having a worse one.  She's been laid off, had her dress ripped straight down the back by a subway door, and then fallen into the very kind (and very handsome) man who offers her his suit jacket, causing his hand to land on her ass.  And then she told him about the time she peed herself.  Good thing she'll never see him again!  Until their encounter goes viral and they end up on a morning talk show, of course.  Hayes and Franny couldn't be more different, but as life pushes them together over and over, they can't help but enjoy each other's company.  When life throws yet another curveball at Franny, will she be brave enough to trust in Hayes, and herself?

This was such a fun read, perfect for fans of Christina Lauren or Kate Clayborn.  Franny is fun and quirky without being "not like other girls," and Hayes is a true cinnamon roll, just so sweet and kind.  I wish we'd gotten to learn more about him and his background. 

There's a lot of B-plots to this book, and the last 15% is spent wrapping many of them up, some more successfully than others.  I'll also say that while I usually have no issues with a third-act breakup,

the one here between Franny and Hayes felt very forced -- I would have liked to see them work through the external pressure of her mom's heart attack together as the final test of their relationship

.

Overall, a really fun and fast read, the perfect thing to toss in your bag for a spring break trip!
