Boy meets girl. It’s the way romances usually begin . . . and while we all
love a happy ending, it’s the #MeetCute that wins our hearts.
How did you two meet?
The #MeetCute Books each have a unique answer to that query. Some might
make you swoon, others might make you giggle . . . and some may make you blush.
Twelve authors. Twelve stand-alone contemporary romance novels. Twelve
stories that will make your heart beat a little faster.
Because it’s all about the #MeetCute.
Vivian is sick of dating. Sick of the way guys treat her, sick of living
and crying by when and if they call . . . she’s just done.
When her aunt reminds her that a girl has to kiss a lot of frogs before she
finds her prince--Aunt Gail says that number is fifty--Vivian decides she’s
taking control of her dating life: she’s going to go on a series of first dates
only, and each one must end in a kiss. She begins chronicling each date--the
good, the bad and the downright unbelievable--with a plan to turn the stories
into an in-depth magazine series about the realities of dating in the
twenty-first century.
Everything’s going along according to plan until Vivian hits a bump in her
road with Frog Number Five, who doesn’t seem to understand his role in this
deal. And despite Vivian’s determination to make it all the way to the big
five-oh, when fate keeps throwing this same man across her path, she begins to
wonder if maybe it’s time to ditch the plan . . . and kiss just one more frog.
My take...
When asked if I would be interested in reading FIFTY FROGS, I knew I had
to. I loved the idea that this book was about and knew it had to be good. And
when I was reading, I couldn't help but laugh (numerous times) at all the
crazies Vivian met while trying to write an article on the joys (or lack
thereof) of dating frogs while in search of her prince. She is such a fun,
quirky character and you really get a feel for her quirkiness at the very start
of the book. She will definitely have you smiling all throughout the book.
And Charlie, I just love him. I love how both he and Vivian find they are
both in very similar situations; living arrangements, employment, and dating
life. It was such a joy to watch them fall for one another in the midst of
everything. So, so cute!!
I really had a hard time putting this book down. I would constantly wonder
what crazy scenario and/or crazy guy Vivian would find next. I looked forward
to it and the silliness that would surely ensue.
Fun plot, hilarious dating hijinks, and one adorable meet cute… FIFTY FROGS
was such a good read. If you are looking for your next beach read or late night
read, I think you may have just found it. 4 Stars!
