Too Good to Be Real
Too Good to Be Real | Melonie Johnson
6 posts | 3 read | 5 to read
The perfect combination of sweet, sexy, and make-you-grin moments. - Lyssa Kay Adams, author of The Bromance Book Club An ode to everything we love about rom-coms. - Alexis Daria, author of You Had Me at Hola In her trade paperback debut, Melonie Johnson brings her signature humor, sexy romance, and strong female friendships in this hilarious romantic comedy about finding perfectly imperfect love, Too Good to Be Real. She plans to prove there's a dozen reasons why life isn't like a romantic comedy, only to discover the one reason it is... While her friends wish for meet cutes worthy of their favorite rom-coms, Julia is ready to give up on love. Swiping right has replaced getting swept off your feet and good old-fashioned romance has become, well, old-fashioned. A writer for a popular website, love becomes the last thing on her mind when impending layoffs threaten her job. As Julia searches for the ultimate pitch to impress her boss, she stumbles upon a resort offering guests a chance to live out their romantic comedy dreams. Real life dating is so bleak, who wouldn't want to spend a week in a fantasy rom-com world with your best friends? At the resort, Julia literally falls into a not-quite-meet-cute involving an aggressive seagull and an adorably awkward guy named Luke who is also participating in the rom-com experience. Julia hides the fact she is there to do a story, but Luke harbors a few secrets of his own. Among further encounters with thieving seagulls, a gaggle of corgis, kisses in the rain, and even a karaoke serenade, their feelings deepen quickly. But could their love be real when they haven't been honest about their true identities? Once the fantasy is over, can they have a relationship in the real world?

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

#RomCom

Julia and her friends sign up for a week long retreat to a resort that offers your personal romantic comedy experience. Of course Julia is a complete sceptic until she meets Luke and a couple of kleptomanic seagulls are playing fairy godmother.

I‘m so sad I had to give this one up, but I just wasn‘t going anywhere for me. I love romantic comedies as much as the next gal, but this is a farce. BUT IT HAD A CORGI ON THE COVER. 😭

Mehso-so

Out of the 4 books in the Men Read Romance inaugural subscription box, this was my least fave. I just never connected with the characters and so I never really rooted for them. It also relies too heavily on rom-com movies. 3 stars

MidnightBookGirl On the plus side, there's an adorable corgi on the cover! 😆 3y
wanderinglynn @MidnightBookGirl there is! And there are corgis in the book, just not enough 😆 3y
Kimberlone That‘s too bad! The cover is soooo cute. 3y
wanderinglynn @Kimberlone it wasn‘t bad, just not my fave. It had some lol moments. And I liked the concept. 3y
