Gotta Catch Her

For the love of certain creature-based augmented reality games. This book was a serious yet short tale of a woman finding love, in all of its messiness, thanks to a still-popular augmented reality game that is just dissimilar enough from a very real - and, for a while, very popular - similar game to avoid a lawsuit. The author does a great job of showing the complexities of project management and the complexities of dating a single mother. Excellent book and one that leaves this reader hoping for more from this author and maybe even further tales of this particular couple.

Gotta Catch Her is a sweet read about two women, Rachael and Ann, who meet each other while playing a multi-player phone game. It is all taken from Ann's perspective, which gives good insights into what she is thinking as their relationship builds. Rachael is a bisexual single mom who is overstressed with work and all of the responsibilities that go with raising a first grader. Ann has little experience with parenting and it is interesting to see her perspective as dates are cut short and schedules have to be rearranged to accommodate the single mom. Many times, she feels left out and not a part of Rachael's life, despite wanting to be and trying her best.

The book also weaves in Ann's work and the pressures that are going on there and how she develops confidence that is needed by the end of the book for the relationship to grow.

I found the characters to be well written and situations to be very realistic. While it was a fairly short read, the characters are developed well over the course of the story. There is a very hot scene in the book that was very well written and left me smiling afterward.

If you are looking for a sweet story of two people trying to overcome the obstacles of life to get together, this will be an enjoyable read for you.
