Where do I begin with this review? As always when reading a favorite author, I wonder, where did it begin? Where did my love for their writing occur? Was it recommended by an Amazon bot that thought I would like the book, did a friend suggest it, or did the author reach out? It feels like a lifetime ago that I found Lauren Rowe as an author, and yet, according to Goodreads was only three years ago. Well, many stories later, I’m still a huge fan of Lauren’s writing and books. This, is her latest release, a part of the Misadventures Series, and is just as refreshing and wonderful as ever.
This story begins with Savvy and how the twist of the universe, fate, or whatever gives her the big finger. Contrary to her name, she is a hot mess just trying to survive in a world that wants to drown her. I loved the personality that Lauren gave Savvy. I mean there were so many times that she could wallow, and while she had her moments to come to grips with what happened, she flipped fate the finger and kept on moving forward. Savvy had a quirkiness about her that was easy to like. She was fun and spontaneous but cautious and guarded at the same time. The entire time I read the story, I felt Savvy grow and become the awesomest version of herself.
Aiden was a guy who needed fate to give him a little luck. He has a past but doesn’t want to have it repeating itself. His journey lands him smack in the middle of Savvy’s curse to the fates and need to leap out of her norm. What Aiden didn’t expect was how Savvy’s not so savvy ways penetrated his heart. Lauren made you feel Aiden’s internal struggle. Each time he wanted to go one way but went the opposite, you felt what he was feeling. I’m not quite sure I’ve read a character like Aiden before. None comes to mind, and that made him uniquely original to me. Watching how he helped Savvy become more than savvy showed him growing into more. He has a heart of gold and the action that follows him will have you laughing, but at the same time what he does for Savvy, will have your heart melting.
It was such a fun fast paced story to read. I couldn’t put it down and consumed this in three hours. It was light-hearted with some drama but overall just gave you laughs, heart mushiness, and cheers for the ending. Lauren did an excellent job on the plot, arc, and flow of the story. I didn’t feel like I was left in the dark about any little nugget of information she fed us. It’s one of the things I enjoy immensely about her work. I definitely recommend this book if you like contemporary romances with some fun antics and a whole lot of heart. 5 pirouetting pointe shoes from this blogger.
