Loved this book so much! Noely Clark turns into a hot mess as she gets further into this whole blind dating this, and it is hysterical. This book offers the reading a whole host of things, such ans luagher(I chortled, and snorted in public reading this) Lust, Love, confusion, and whole lot of Tom Hanks. Jack, Beck and Hayden give her a run for her money that is for sure. Do yourself a favor and read this. Told totally in Noely's point of view until towards the end, then it's in someone else's but I am not saying who cause it will ruin the book.

I apparently only read mediocre books these days, and this book was no exception.
Noely was definitely walking that funny/annoying/obnoxious line pretty hard. She also made her choice with her "lady bits", whatever those are

Call me naive, but I had high hopes for this book... It was cute and funny at first, but I grew more and more irritated with Noely and her 'I totally wouldn't do this on a first date but he's so hot I cannot help myself' inner monologues. Girl, you're a single, grown up woman, you can do whatever the eff you want without justifying yourself to an imaginary audience. And I do love a cute story but this was way too much in all the wrong ways - like Noely finds not one, not two, but three super hot guys who love romcoms and cuddling and staring soulfully into her eyes while naming their future children. Right. I know guys in NA / chicklit are always too good to be true, but these guys had me rolling my eyes so hard I could see the back of my skull. So it was not absolutely horrible, but it was not a book for me :(

I really love You’ve got Mail.
This is not a retelling.
This is a book where the protagonists Love and reference You’ve Got Mail.
And the last half of the book was drawn out without any suspense. And the epilogue was unnecessary.
I feel like this could have been great in the next revision, where the idea of You’ve Got Mail was scaled back more.
Loved the side characters more than the lead two. There was too mud telling and not showing with them.

Nah. Maybe this is me. Maybe this is the book and the writing but I could not stand her.
I tried really hard to get into this but ergh and ergh.
I find this author can be a bit iffy. On one moment I like it the other moment I'm not into it.

Meghan does it again. There is the humor you come to expect from Ms. Quinn's books, plus all the fun and craziness (the good kind of crazy.) This book has a little bonus for us ladies. We aren't dealing with just one Hero. We get three to pine over. :D There is a twist of sorts and a bit of mystery involved. It has a sweetness about it as well.
Not wanting to deal with her bad luck in meeting Mr. Right, and ready to get married and start a family, Noely tries out a new dating app. The Suit, The Rebel & The Jock. All three are attractive and she feels a connection with each, but which one will win her heart? Or will a fourth match sneak in for the win? The suitors are fun and each have a bit of a mystery to them. They are all different as night and day yet still have some commonalities with Noely. (You may recognize one or two characters from other books, but have no fear, it is a complete stand alone.)
You'll love the side characters. They bring a lot of the humor to the book. =) The best friend, the brother and the sister-in-law, and let's not forget the niece... be on the lookout for them! ;) I liked the fact that none of the characters were bad. There was no evil villain at play. Even the reasons why the men didn't make the cut were pretty understandable. None of them sought out revenge or took any drastic measures. Everyone had a good heart.
It's a lighthearted story and even though she has some heartaches during her journey, it isn't dark or too emotionally deep or heavy. It's well written, flows smoothly. It's primarily the Heroine's POV. There is some sexual content, but not too much. Some mild language.
My negative feelings: We didn't get answers to some of the questions we had in regards to the mystery of one of the guys. There were hints and you can guess what it was, but it was never confirmed. But... the men who did not make the cut are going to get their own books, so I'm sure we'll get our answers in the near (fingers crossed) future. YAY!

Dear Meghan Quinn,
Will you marry me? Hmm that seems too farfetched....
Will you promise to keep writing THE BEST steamy romcoms I've ever read? Nothing would make me happier.
Sincerely,
Girl with severe romcom addictions
