Would Like to Meet by Rachel Winters
4.0
I haven't read a book in a long time, and the fact that I call myself a bibliophile puts me to shame. After facing a month of unemployment, I decided to drag my butt to the nearest library to borrow some books despite my bookshelf overflowing with them.
I came across this book as the cover reminded me of 'The Hating Game' by Sally Thorne. I remembered being so deeply engrossed in it.
The same thing happened to me, the moment I was introduced to 29-years old Evie Summers. Like her, she's stuck in a job where she's overworked, under-appreciated, and clearly taken-for-granted. I feel you, Evie. I understand.
As a sucker for the fantasy and illusion of Rom-Coms, I embarrassingly am a sucker for 'meet-cute' which is what award-winning (in italics, might I add) Ezra Chester, screenwriter, should be penning down for his next big hit. Ezra or 'NOB' infamously branded by Evie, doesn't believe in 'meet-cute' or what those movies tried to tell us about love.
Now...the characters......:
JEMS: I felt like I really didn't get to see/read them more often than not. It was like I never ever get to truly know each of their relationship with Evie. Just to watch for Sarah and her meticulous PowerPoint presentation.
NOB: He really be your stereotypical 'bad boy' that are called Hunter with the contagious smirk and all. I mean, what he did was unacceptable but hey! At least he had some heart, eventhough it was towards the end.
Monty: I knew he was a little piece of poop but I really didn't expect him to be that shady. Me when he revealed his shadyness :
Ben and Annette: Nothing much just *chef kisses*
Jane: She was iconic, humorous yet short-lived. The way she just let Evie go to the book club. Even I didn't see that coming.
The grand gesture at the end was really cute, he-who-shall-not-be-named, clearly remembered the little details she mentioned. Find me a man that's loaded too. Overall this book really tried to shake me off my delusion of having a happy ending that only exists in rom-coms but it clearly proven that I truly adore books than movies set in this genre.
