The Second You're Single by Cara Tanamachi
4.0
I received an ARC from the publisher but the thoughts and opinions expressed here are my own.
Sora is a freelance writer who is repulsed by the notion of Valentine's Day. Having just come out of a bad marriage, she wants nothing more than to eat bacon and forget about romance for February.
She pitches the idea for a series of posts and her boss is excited. For the entire month, Sora's going to concentrate on caring for herself, eating whatever she wants and avoiding any new relationships with men. She's truly going to #gosolo. She doesn't count on, however, meeting up with her childhood best friend Jack. He's as sweet as ever and is easy on the eyes.
Jack had a crush on Sora from the moment he met her in Elementary School. He learns of her #gosolo challenge and is willing to wait to date her until March 1. But fate comes into play and the two are thrown together well before that day.
The story is somewhat predictable but that was perfectly fine with me. Jack's character is particularly likeable and I enjoyed his quest to make Sora enjoy Valentine's Day. Past romantic relationships are thrown into the story as well as family relationships. There are some funny moments which I enjoyed including Sora trying on a bridesmaid's dress after consuming a large amount of bacon during the month.
This book felt more like a romantic comedy than a true romance. I enjoyed it and would recommend it to those readers who enjoy romance or romantic comedies.
