Review
This is a cute rom-com! I love the romance, humor and fun. It’s a great read for young ladies 16 and up!
This book is about McKenna Keaton, a young women with her life all planned out. But her careful plans start falling apart when she is accused of embezzlement with her law firm! Now she’s jobless, hopeless and a bit desperate. So when she meets her childhood friend, McKenna is a bit shocked (and annoyed) that Henry Blumenthal has his life put together. Now McKenna is struggling to find a new path forward in life… That hopefully will have Henry in it.
This romantic comedy is a great, clean read for ladies 16 and up! (Bethany Turner writes pretty good fiction, but I do not suggest Wes and Addie Had Their Chance. That book by her is Woke) This novel is funny and sweet, and I loved the plot line and the characters. I don’t really have any ‘cons’ for this book. Just that it’s not a kids read. It brings up some adult topics, but nothing inappropriate.
Overall, this is a novel I suggest to young ladies who love a funny, cute romance! Happy Readings!!! -The Young Llama Reader.
Pros

- Funny and romantic!!!
Cons
- Not a kids book.
Hot-shot lawyer McKenna Keaton finds herself in hot water with her own law firm when she’s (falsely!) accused of embezzlement. Placed on unpaid leave, she suddenly finds herself with the free time to return home and attend her youngest sister’s wedding activities.
But it’s not all fun and games. Waiting back home is shy, nerdy Henry Blumenthal—McKenna’s high school rival for valedictorian who once took three hours to beat her at chess. Scratch that. He’s Hank Blume now, the famed documentarian, Durham, North Carolina’s, darling son, who has attained all his dreams and more. He also happens to look like he stepped out of an Eddie Bauer catalog.
Whereas McKenna is a disgraced workaholic from New York on unpaid leave, accused of a white-collar crime she would nevercommit, succumbing to panic attacks, watching her dreams unravel. At age thirty-eight—and destined by the family curse to die before she turns forty, apparently—it’s absolutely the wrong time to have a major crush on a man. Especially one who treasures his memories of McKenna as the girl Most Likely to Succee
