What happens when the right girl and the right guy meet at the wrong time?
One thing that can be said about Quinn Pearson is that she has a knack for doing the wrong thing at the wrong time. Like, the worst time ever. Take her job for instance. One little slip of the tongue using the mother of all swear words while reporting the news, and suddenly she finds herself with over 18 million views on YouTube and her employment in jeopardy. If that wasn’t bad enough, when she meets the man of her dreams, she nearly chokes to death on a powdered sugar donut.
Thankfully for Quinn, the dashing Brit, Henry, finds her near death experience quite charming. But just when Quinn thinks her luck is going to change, she finds out her timing is all wrong again. Henry is off limits. Or is he? Maybe it’s time for Quinn to quit settling for what life hands her. Perhaps it’s time for her to become more than just a girl.

Favorite Quotes:
Oh, dear heaven above. Handsome Man has an accent. A very British one, in fact… Be still, my beating ovaries. I’ve always been a sucker for a British accent. But of course, I’m standing in front of him, hair askew, my face a nice shade of red, if the burning feeling I’m currently experiencing is any indication. Oh, and powdered sugar down the front of me. I’m also still holding on to the donut. I’m a work of art. A Picasso.
I chose kale. I’m not even sure how that’s a food. It tastes like disappointment.
Romantic interludes in my life so far have just been more of a mutual “You’ll do” type of scenario.
Red is perfect for her—it matches her evil insides… I briefly wonder what kind of machine she uses to file down her horns.
Is she for real? She’s like a villain out of a bad campy movie. “Well, I don’t know about that,” I say. “I mean, someday, when your skin becomes Botox resistant, they’ll need to replace you.” I give her my best smirk. Like an automatic reflex, she reaches up and touches her forehead, which hasn’t been able to move since I’ve known her. It’s just frozen in place.
My Review:
Oh – happy – day! I have a new favorite author and her name is Becky Monson – and she is brilliant and made me giggle-snort more than once during perusal. I adored every word of this cleverly written missive. In addition to Ms. Monson’s sparkling wit and keenly honed levity; her well-crafted storylines hit all the feels with a bevy of relevant topics and family issues. Anyone who has ever had the misfortunate experiences of landing their dream job within a toxic work environment, suffered dastardly co-workers, grappled with their weight, dated a lovely man with issues, and/or struggled with a critical and unappeasable parent will find themselves within the pages.
The main character of Quinn resonated deeply with me. Her inner musings were smirk-worthy and highly entertaining. I was quickly implanted within Quinn’s head and under her skin, living her feels, and fully engaged and immersed in her tale. I am also in total agreement with her stance on kale; it is ghastly!
