Synopsis

In this charming new rom-com from Jenny L. Howe, a young woman who's fed up with dating challenges her family and friends to set her up on ten dates, but gets more than she bargained for when her best friend adds himself to the roster. Dating as a plus-size woman has been exhausting for Haleigh Berkshire. Sure, she's only twenty-five, but she's been doing it for a decade, and she's beginning to think it's time for a sabbatical. It doesn't help that she's been madly in love with her best friend, Jack, for years--but one disastrous weekend in college taught her the hard way that they'll never be more than friends. With her sister's engagement party fast approaching, and her friends and family nagging her about a plus-one, Haleigh and Jack do what they do best: scheme. Haleigh agrees to let her friends and family set her up with ten men or women--and she's sure that, once none of them prove to be good matches, her loved ones will finally let her fade into romantic retirement in peace. To her surprise, some of Haleigh’s dates go better than expected, and for the first time in forever, she's actually having fun. Until Jack starts breaking all the rules they’d made to mend their friendship in college. He produces a laundry list of flaws for everyone she likes, crashes some of her nights out, and finally shocks her by throwing himself into the mix. Dating Jack has always been the dream, but Haleigh is afraid of the reality. Is it worth risking her best friend for something that may have never been meant to be?

How to Get a Life in Ten Dates by Jenny L Howe Contemporary romance. Same world as prior book On The Plus Side. This book stands on its own with a couple minor references to the other book.

Disclaimer: I received a free ARC for this book. A grown-ass woman, Haleigh, complains about "adulting" and says she wants no responsibility, but she really, really needs to be in a relationship so that she can have a plus-one to her sister's party so everyone doesn't think she's a loser. Which she s......more

Concept for the sequel: Jack and Haleigh realizes that their attraction to each other come completely from proximity and they don’t actually have any chemistry with each other romantically. They break off the engagement and Haleigh goes back to Brian who is ten times better for her every way.......more
