The Book

Her rising sign is confident. Her love life? Completely up in the air.

I run an airport newsstand, selling overpriced snacks and gossip mags to people flying off to places I’ve only dreamed about. I know flight schedules like other people know coffee orders. Most people tend to think I’m a little too much—too bright, too weird, too into “hippie things”. But I’ve got a business plan and a suitcase that I swear I’ll use one day.

Enter Keaton—the polished, put-together businessman who actually listens to my ideas. He’s not my usual type, and after a disastrous first date (think goose egg, black eye, and the universe screaming NO), we both take the hint. And yet… he keeps showing up at my kiosk. Against all odds—I keep liking him more. Then there’s the mystery texter—my cousins all think he’s phishing. A wrong-number message turns into inside jokes and late-night check-ins with a stranger I’ve never met but completely trust. Now I’m stuck between the guy I should want and the one I can’t stop thinking about. So tell me, universe—where’s my sign? Because the heart doesn’t always follow a flight plan.

Book Review

Throughout the Love Connections series, there has been one of the cousins that has intrigued me. Poppy, with her love of horoscopes and crystals, is certainly a character that is hard to forget! I honestly wasn't quite sure what to expect when we finally got to her story, but it did not disappoint. There is definitely a lot more to her character than I'd initially expected, and I really enjoyed getting to know more about who she truly was beyond her quirky beliefs. Keaton and Poppy got off to quite a start- and well, let's just say this book was very appropriately titled... their disastrous first official meeting and date had me laughing out loud... and perhaps cringing with secondhand embarrassment as well. But ultimately also had me rooting for these two to get that happily ever after too. It had some 'You've Got Mail' vibes which only made it even more fun! This was such a sweet romance, and a great ending to this fun series! 

The Disasters of Dating is a closed-door romance with kisses only and no language. It is part of the Love Connections series. This is a multi-author series and while the stories are connected- following a group of cousins as they travel to various destinations and find love- I do believe this could be enjoyed as a standalone as well.
