Guys, I love this author, and this is a departure for her. It’s the first time she has written an “alternating pov” story. I think she did a neat job of it. It’s set in San Francisco, and while I would have loved to have seen a few more landmarks and recognizable areas to really identify it, I liked the shout outs to Fisherman’s Wharf and Marin County with the redwoods. If you are looking for a light romance, grab this one. You won’t be disappointed. Below is my Goodreads review.
The Right Guy: A romantic comedy by Kate O’Keeffe
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed this book. I love Kate O’Keeffe, and while different from her other books, it was a nice departure that I thought she did very well. Told from alternating points of view, it’s the story of Jake and Taylor. Taylor is best friends with Jake’s sister and has practically been a part of the family forever. Of course, there are going to be doubts as Jake and Taylor face their actual feelings for each other. Add in an ill-timed psychic prediction that causes more doubts, and a few odd encounters and it makes for a fun, light read. I didn’t think that Jake’s “playboy” past was fleshed out enough to truly believe it, which in turn made Taylor’s wavering back and forth seem a little bit much. But it wasn’t enough to stop me from enjoying the story. The electricity between the two was expressive and real. A four-star read from me because it let me escape and enjoy their story. I received a digital ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
