The Love Wager: The addictive fake dating romcom from the author of Mr Wrong Number

Product Information

you're funny and smart, and beautiful, and whenever anything happens to me, funny, awful, or wonderful, you're the first person i want to tell. The first time we're forced to suffer through Jack's POV, he makes MULTIPLE remarks about what a teeny tiny smol bean Hallie is. As they pretend to be a couple, lines become blurred and they each struggle to remember why the other was a bad idea to begin with. I don’t always enjoy a rom-com where the two main characters converse a lot of text messages, but in this case, I didn’t mind.

if jack had just admitted to his feelings early on instead of teetering around the fact that he kinda, sorta thought he was in love with her– this entire book would have been over quicker and there wouldn’t have been such a dramatic ending. which is probably because i saw the characters as real people, with genuine feelings, rather than romance caricatures.Jack is recently single and Hallie has been single for a while but is ready to get back to looking for love. This was perfect for a fun read with relatively low stakes and I can’t wait to get to Better Than The Movies now. And lastly—when Josh says going up to randos at a bar is so stupid because you're initiating a convo based on looks and he would rather approach someone on the basis of their intelligence I nearly screamed in my dog's face at point blank range. Jack and Hallie also run interference for each other, taking dates to the same bar and bailing early to get tacos if the dates aren’t good. It was a lot of fun getting to spend time with Hallie and Jack as they went on first date after first date with people who they met on these apps.

Hallie finds herself with a glass of wine tossed in her face while Jack and Vanessa make their exit.I am way too self-conscious and anxious to put myself out there on an app and meeting people who are kind of strangers and trying to make small talk, sounds mentally exhausting. She is a community columnist for the Omaha World-Herald, as well as a regular blogger for their parenting section. Wrong Number (thought it was weak and a bit creepy), but I thought I'd give Lynn Painter's adult novels another try. She gets a new apartment, a new haircut, and a new wardrobe, but when she logs into the dating app that she has determined will find her new love, she sees none other than Jack, the guy whose room she’d snuck out of.
