How to Get a Life in Ten Dates by Jenny L. Howe
4.0
I am conflicted about this review. This wasn’t a bad read, but it wasn’t my favorite. I really enjoyed some parts, but others really irked me. For starters I loved the main character. I felt like she was under so much pressure from her family to get her life together, and I just wanted to scream at them that she is only 25. I certainly had a lot going on in my life at 25 and would not classify myself as having it all together. Kuddos to those who do though! I also really loved reading about all the dates that she went on. There were some really fun ones, and they were great. I loved that Haleigh was bisexual and dated both men and women. It was also nice to read a book with amazing anxiety rep. Okay now here’s what sort of ruined the book for me. The relationship between Haleigh and her best friend, Jack. He loves her, she’s not sure of her feelings for him after something from their past. It just felt like the miscommunication trope gone haywire for me. It was too much. Jack was clearly in love with her and she just ignored it all and flaunted the dates she was going on in his face. So very frustrating to read.
