The title is a bit of a misnomer, as the titular character isn‘t opposed to romance so much as she‘s just recovering from a terrible breakup. But that‘s not important. The main thing is that this book was a fun read and I was genuinely invested in the characters and their relationships. I‘m not much of a romance reader, but I really enjoyed this one.

Lucie has struggled to find Mr Right (and was recently badly burned by her ex) but feels her clock ticking, so she decides to move forward with a coparenting relationship instead, enter Colin. But then her ex shows back up. I‘m not a fan of romance, but I really liked Ho‘s previous book and thought I‘d give this a try. There were some good laughs, but the romance was too much the focus for me and I found it predictable. This was me, not the book.
