Plot:

Frankie Rose is desperate for love. Or a relationship. Or just a date with a semi-normal person. It’s not that she hasn’t tried – Frankie is the queen of online dating. But she has had enough.
Deciding to embark on the ultimate dating experiment, inspired by her job at The Little Brunswick Bookshop, Frankie places her hope in her favourite books to find her the perfect man… Secretly planting copies on trains, trams and buses, Frankie hopes to find the man of her dreams through a mutual love of good books.
But one spontaneous kiss later and Frankie begins to fall for a guy called Sunny. There’s just one tiny problem – Frankie is strictly a Jane Austen kind of woman and Sunny is really into Young Adult. Seriously, obsessively into it…
Can Frankie overcome her book snobbery for the man of her dreams? Or will she be left searching the trains for her modern-day Mr Darcy forever?

Review:

Frankie is a character we all aspire to be [book lovers], she’s a lover of books, she works in a bookstore with her best friend and she’s hilariously witty. Frankie is also unlucky in love and creatively devises a plan to find a partner by dropping her favourite books on different trains with her contact information in the back.

It sounds like a great way to meet people until she finds out there can be some pretty strange encounters but while she’s conducting that experiment she happens to stumbles across a gorgeous guy [not met from the experiment itself] that loves to read but seems to be all wrong for her because he only read Young Adult novels! As a strong lover of Young Adult, I was totally in love with Sunny from the start and I knew she would come around at the end of the book once she realised how diverse and creative they are.

I basically breathed this novel in as it was such a quick read and the characters were so outrageously funny and loveable. Frankie had a real charm to her and she was constantly making me laugh, while Sunny made you swoon as a great guy and her best friend and other characters were always making my eyes widen with the crazy things they would say and do.

This novel is definitely a feel-good romcom right off the pages. Frankie’s best friend Cat also had a pretty interesting and slightly scandalous storyline and I think they could easily write a whole novel about her character too with some appearances from Frankie and the gang after these events.

4/5 Stars
