Probably the Best Kiss in the World by Pernille Hughes - Bookin' It With Jen

The first few pages of this book I was NOT into at all but as soon as I got past that I settled into the story comfortably. I can't think of another character that I have loathed more than Robert. Which is good, because you're not supposed to like him, but man was he a well written antagonist. It felt a bit predatory, almost like he groomed her, swooping in as hero in her moment of grief and taking over. As for Jen I went back and forth between annoyance and pity for her. The thing that probably annoyed me most is how much I relate to her. Which is a bit of a tough pill to swallow if I'm being honest. Its so easy to let fear and trauma control you, so her staying in a safe, boring relationship wasn't too surprising, and neither was her obsession with lists and planning. It was like looking in a mirror, which I wasn't expecting from a rom-com.. Ouch. Thank goodness for her tribe for forcing her out of her comfort zone, or else she would have missed out on Probably The Best Kiss In The World. The plot was simple and predictable, but in a good way, like a Hallmark Movie. I loved that her passion in life was beer and brewing, it was a refreshing and unexpected perspective for chick lit!
