You’ve been warned – and if you don’t want to know what the tragedy is, I’d suggest you stop reading here. Meet Cute is a perfect combination of these two voices – a fun read overall, but it has its tragic moments. Her Inked Armor series is dark and angsty, while her Pucked series is hilarious and quirky. It’s worth noting that I loved the epilogue–probably one of my favorites now.If you’re a fan of Helena Hunting, you’re probably aware her books come with varying degrees of gravity. I recommend this novel for anyone looking for a good romance without all the turbulence–it might get a bit bumpy but you’ll get to the other side just fine. It’s a positive reflection on Hunting’s writing that she stirred my emotions and kept them aflutter by just greasing the wheel rather than creating something entirely different. It included many of my favorite tropes such as enemies-to-lovers, the cute kid, and a (former) idol falling in love with an average person. In a time where the unexpected is expected, predictable novels like Meet Cute become the unexpected. It’s easy to root for them for a happy ending. Emme is a sweet kid trying to understand her new “normal.” All three have wonderful chemistry together. Dax is a responsible and attentive individual doing what the best he can as his sister Emme’s guardian. Kailyn is smart, doesn’t take any shit, and genuine in her willingness to help those who need her. Sometimes, things are exactly as they seem. I didn’t realize that was what I needed until I started reading Meet Cute. After reading so many books with “unexpected” surprises, I needed something fairly straight forward that would still provide me with zings and make me swoon. Meet Cute was the right book for me at the right time. Sometimes there is a need for a book where it’s easy to see what’s coming, something that doesn’t pull any extra punches. If only…right? In the present, Kailyn has successfully built her career as a trust lawyer and unexpectedly meets Dax (the aforementioned famous crush) again when he walks into her law firm seeking her help. Kailyn is the fangirl in all of us…if we were lucky enough to have our famous crush literally fall over us and then be horrified when 1) we blurt out, “I love you,” 2) ask for an autograph, and 3) find out we share a class after this embarrassing debacle…er.meet cute, I mean.
