A review by bookishlybouv
Too Wrong to Be Right by Melonie Johnson

funny hopeful lighthearted

After being dumped unceremoniously by her boyfriend of 6 months (after agreeing to take care of his hedgehog), Kat is even farther away from her goals than ever. She keeps dating assholes(and seriously, who would give up JoJo, the sweet spiky ball of love that she is??) and she’s no closer to starting her own flower shop. So when she literally bumps into Mick while pinning a boutonnière to a dead man’s suit(talk about meet disaster), the friendship and zing of attraction that follows is too good to be true. Her heart has a knack for picking the wrong guys - and it’s time to find Mr. Right once and for all.

This was adorable! I loved the settings of this book - not often is a funeral home depicted with so much life in it! The family dynamic of the O’Sullivans was a great contrast for Kat’s lack of connection to her own(besides Babcia), and I loved the way that older adults were depicted and valued in this story. As a seniors activity centre director, meaningful relationships with older adult characters are always especially great to see in a romance novel! 

The chemistry between Kat and Mick was great, and I liked the respect each had for the friendship despite growing attraction and feelings.

The idea of JoJo the hedgehog in tiny outfits was so cute, and I also loved Seamus the cockatoo’s potty mouth. Unique pets were a fun addition!

I didn’t love that Kat was going against attraction while thinking Mick’s brother, Joe, was her Mr. Right, but it did make sense for her mindset. 

The ending was so cute, and I genuinely loved the epilogue (thank you for leaving marriage and babies out of it without ruling out the possibility!)

 This book is another win for Melonie Johnson, and I’m looking forward to more stories from her!
