Attack of the Rom-Com by Martti Nelson
4.0
This book is a mashup of your favorite, or not so favorite, rom-coms and movies. Sophie and Jodie are best friends, and when they go to a new fortune teller at a local carnival, things turn upside down for them.
Tiffani, who is the new fortune teller, ends up dragging them into some crazy scenarios for Sophie to live out and find her truwluv (imagine The Princess Bride here). I'm not sure why Tiffani thought that a remake of prom night in Carrie was wise, but it did help Sophie move past a bully in high school. Perhaps the same could be said for the medieval scenario with a former girlfriend who was a bully in her recent past.
The book does have heart, and it helps Sophie get to the root of her issues and realize that perhaps love is staring her right in the face. It takes multiple scenarios, but it eventually sinks in. I also thought this book reminded me a little bit of Scrooge and the various lives. It wasn't necessarily the past, present, and future, but close enough.
I enjoyed this book and chuckled through it. We give it 4 paws up.
