The Boyfriend Project

This was good! A total palette cleanser from my other recent romance novel. Rochon is clearly a feminist romance novel writer without being didactic about it, and this novel has all the elements I want in the genre - zippy plot, believably flawed characters you root for, genuine heat that doesn't fall into tired sexual tropes. I think I get a little distracted by plots that are so “of the moment,” like how the protagonist works at a tech start-up. My eyes glazed over a bit when she described the details of the app she was creating, but not in a way that diminished overall enjoyment. I'm not sure I'll seek another of Rochon's out soon, but next time I'm in the mood for a romance novel, this would definitely be where I head.
