Let me start by saying I enjoyed Love & Other Disasters and was absolutely OBSESSED with Something Wild & Wonderful, so I was optimistic about How You Get The Girl

Kind of a workplace romance with sports at the center, How You Get The Girl fell flat for me.

I found it very slow and boring from start to finish. There is a slowww build up to any romance and a long set up to actually understand/get to know the MCs.

I didn't feel connected to the two MCs nor did I feel the romantic connection between them. The banter wasn't there. I didn't buy into their attraction for each other nor why'd they work out. There just wasn't much chemistry, and it didn't feel like anything more than a celebrity crush come to life and meeting one's idol for the first time, not a long term relationship meant to be.

I also felt like there is just A LOT going on in this book, which forced the romance and other more interesting concepts to take a back burner. There are so many side characters, so many side plots and just not enough focus on the main story line. I feel like the MCs were side characters in their own book especially when characters from previous books took up a good chunk of this book as well. Felt like a disservice to Julie who we fell in love with in previous books.

And don't get me started on the weird, secret fake dating...

Wished I loved this one more, but thank you to the publisher for providing me an e-ARC in exchange for my honest review.
