Can you fall in love like they do in the movies? It's Evie Summers's job to find out. Because if she can't convince her film agency's biggest client, Ezra Chester, to write the romantic-comedy screenplay he owes producers, her career will be over. The catch? He thinks rom-coms are unrealistic--and he'll only put pen to paper if Evie shows him that it's possible to meet a man in real life the way it happens on the big screen. Cynical Evie might not believe in happily ever after, but she'll do what it takes to save the job that's been her lifeline . . . even if it means reenacting iconic rom-com scenes in public. Spilling orange juice on a cute stranger? No problem. Leaving her number in books all over London to see who calls? Done. With a little help from her well-meaning friends--and Ben and Anette, the adorable father-daughter duo who keep witnessing her humiliations--Evie is determined to prove she can meet a man the way Sally met Harry. But can a workaholic who's given up on love find a meet-cute of her very own?

I read this one in a couple of hours, it's an easy reading and a cute story with some up and downs. It was a nice book and a great way to start the year.
3.5 stars. A bit over-the-top at times, but overall a delight.
My main complaint is that the romcom reference game was a little weak. There were a lot of shout outs to the genre, but there were also “romcom” references to multiple movies that are ~chick flicks~ but don't have a HEA - hence, in my opinion, not romcoms. And Two Weeks Notice is not, in fact, about people who have only known each other for two weeks.
Still, I basically devoured this in one sitting, and I laughed out loud multiple times. A fabulous way to spent a sunny Saturday.
This was so cute at the time. Now? I can only remember bits and pieces. This book is a cute rom-com and I would recomend this to people who like romance already. Not exactly stand out though.
More chick-lit than romance. Had a few good moments but I felt myself skimming a good chunk of the book because it was all over the place. Also like a lot of chick lit, the mcs didn't spend much time together on the page yet by the end they were proclaiming their love for each other?
I think the book had potential though and I'll likely try another book of hers just to see if some of the above mentioned issues get resolved.
