Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
I was hooked on Ryan and Willow from the moment of their meet-cute in a drugstore, when neither of them knew who the other was. I was enthralled by the banter between the two on the stage during Rom-Con, when their bet was born. And then I really fell in love with them when he dropped everything to support her during a family crisis.
I love when a book makes me laugh and cry, and that is what I got with 500 First Editions. From the second Ryan met Willow, he knew she was going to be his “Future Wife” — he even programmed her into his phone that way once they finally exchanged numbers. Willow agreed to date Ryan for three months to poke holes in his dating-advice program and disprove that three months is enough time for people to fall in love. Things get messy when she unexpectedly needs to head back to her small hometown, where she has to face the ghosts of her past. But Ryan never lets her down, supporting Willow through all of those ups and downs. Along the way, they really get to know each other, and Willow discovers that he’s not such a bad guy after all. (Even if he is a nerdy Clark Kent with glasses and tattoos.)
While Willow’s family life is a bit of a mess, she has some great friends in fellow romance authors Annie/Whitney and Aurora/Wander, and even their guys (Miles and Jack). The bromance and friendly kidnappings between the guys was hilarious.
I wish we had gotten more of what it was that happened to Willow in California that sparked her three-months-in-one-place rule, but everything else about this lovely story was darn perfect.
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
