Happiness and happenstance go hand-in-hand in this delightful rom-com from the author of Hazel Fine Sings Along. Chloe Baker has a brand new life in New York City with a great job but zero dating life. When she agrees to go on a blind date, she’s nervous but excited. But then, Jack is late. Ten minutes. Twenty. Thirty. Just when she’s given up all hope, he shows up–and they spend a magical day together. An afternoon at the Met. A walk in Central Park. One amazing kiss. The perfect date. Chloe’s on cloud nine, and she can’t wait to see Jack again. But when she texts to say thanks for the great date, she doesn’t get the reply she’s expecting. Suddenly, Jack’s unfindable. And Chloe will go to any lengths to figure out what happened–because true love is worth blowing up your life for . . . or is it?

I just finished Chloe Baker's Lost Date by Katie Wicks and here are my musings.
When Chloe Baker moved to NYC she knew her life was truly just starting. After a year, she has a great job that she loves but her love life... Non-existent.
When her best friend sets her up on a blind date with someone from her work, she agrees and the date is set for breakfast. 10 minutes pass and Jack hasn't shown up. Then 20 and 30. Chloe is ready to leave but then in he walks.
The date couldn't have gone better and after they leave each other and then both end up at the Met.... They have the most magical time together. The perfect day ending in one beautiful kiss.
Chloe cannot believe her luck and while riding the high she texts Jack... The message she got back is not what she was expecting. Jack hadn't made it to their date, he was stuck at work. Who did Chloe spend the day with? Why did he pretend to be Jack? Why is he now so hard to find? Chloe isn't ready to give up. All she has to go on are the things he said during their date and Chloe is just about ready to blow up NYC to find him.
I was drawn right into this book. Right from the get-go it was funny and cute with just the right amount of witty banter. I really love the vibe between Chloe and Kit, her best friend. Their quirkiness hit my right in sisterhood. I could fit right in with them.
The lengths Chloe went to to find fake Jack had me laughing and cringing in equal measure. I wonder how far I would go if it had been me. I thought the explanation as to why Ben pretended to be Jack made a ton of sense but the miscommunication between them at different points had me really frustrated. Ben really allowed what was going on in his life to almost ruin what was obviously right there with Chloe and I hate stupid men. His ex... UGH I hate those types of women.
I felt the author did an excellent job of portraying reality with the situations and conversations had between characters. Chloe's workplace felt a tad toxic to me but she seemed to not notice haha.
Overall I thought this book was actually pretty dang good and I was thoroughly entertained. Solid writing, well paced and cute! What's not to like!
4 stars - Really sweet romance
