It ended so badly so often, and even her friends in good marriages sounded as though they were suffering from a very bad particular form of Stockholm syndrome. If Alex had a dollar for every time of her married friends started a sentence with \u201cI love my husband, but\u201d and then recounted him doing something truly horrific, she could retire. Even though she\u2019d dated a few guys whom she could have seen herself married to, she had never understood why married men were never expected to make sacrifices, other than the opportunity to sleep with other women without hiding it. And, considering the size of her client base, some of them couldn\u2019t even manage to do that.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><strong>Alex Turner<\/strong>, brilliant and cynical divorce attorney, doesn\u2019t believe in love. She has kept every man she has dated at arm\u2019s length, and that has never bothered her before until the day she sees her last ex-boyfriend\u2019s fianc\u00e9 on the show <em>Say Yes to the Dress. <\/em>Alex spirals out of control finding out that every one of her previous relationships settled down immediately after her. This sets her on a mission to find out why she was never \u201cthe one\u201d.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><strong>Will Harkness<\/strong> has always cared about Alex from afar but knew that anything between them was impossible because of their complicated family relationship. After Will finds out about Alex\u2019s escapades, he tags along with the hope in discovering how to win Alex\u2019s heart.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Oh boy. I had some huge problems with this one. First, Alex is set up to give off strong boss girl vibes, but in the way that she is presented she comes across as spoiled, rude, and one of the most unlikeable characters I have ever read. She disguises her rude remarks and bad attitude as \u201cbrutal honesty\u201d which it isn\u2019t. After the halfway point, I am supposed to believe that now she believes in romance and love because Will finally decides he loves her. He deserved better, and she deserved to be in therapy to become a functioning adult before getting into a relationship.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">If you\u2019re a fan of snarky and strong heroines like those of Alexis Daria and Tessa Bailey then give this a try. It might work better for you than it did for me.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Michelle<\/em><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_eb0616c customBorderRad repeat \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3xraApG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s2\">\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/3mN2OBq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">iBooks<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/thank-you-next-andie-j-christopher\/1140163164?ean=9780593200070\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">B&amp;N<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/thank-you-next-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Kobo<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Andie_J_Christopher_Thank_You_Next?id=z95CEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\">Google Play<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text -->                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n            \t    <\/div>\n\t    <!-- \/row_inner -->\n\t<\/div>\n\t<!-- \/module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Single divorce attorney Alex Turner is watching reality TV when she sees her latest ex\u2019s new fianc\u00e9e picking out her wedding dress.

Yet again, the guy she dumped went on to marry (or at least seriously commit to) the next person he dates after her. Fed up with being the precursor to happily ever after, she decides to interview all her exes to find out why.<\/p><p>Up-and-coming chef Will Harkness mixes with Alex like oil and vinegar, but forced proximity growing up means their lives are forever entwined. When Will learns Alex and her friends are going on a wild romp through Los Angeles to reconnect with her ex-boyfriends, he decides to tag along. If he can discover what her exes did wrong, he can make sure he doesn\u2019t make the same mistake with Alex.\u00a0<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>On this nonstop journey through the streets of LA, Alex realizes the answer to her question might be the man riding shotgun\u2026<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/2_5-hearts.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"107\" height=\"44\" \/><\/p><hr \/><p><strong><br \/>Release Date:<\/strong> Jun 14, 2022<br \/><strong>Heat Level:<\/strong> Sensual<br \/><strong>Publisher:<\/strong>\u00a0Penguin Group<br \/><strong>Imprint:<\/strong>\u00a0Berkley<br \/><strong>Price:<\/strong> $9.99<\/p><hr \/><p>\u00a0<\/p><blockquote><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><em>\u201cAnd on days like today, she especially didn\u2019t understand why some other women were so eager to be married. It ended so badly so often, and even her friends in good marriages sounded as though they were suffering from a very bad particular form of Stockholm syndrome. If Alex had a dollar for every time of her married friends started a sentence with \u201cI love my husband, but\u201d and then recounted him doing something truly horrific, she could retire. Even though she\u2019d dated a few guys whom she could have seen herself married to, she had never understood why married men were never expected to make sacrifices, other than the opportunity to sleep with other women without hiding it. And, considering the size of her client base, some of them couldn\u2019t even manage to do that.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><strong>Alex Turner<\/strong>, brilliant and cynical divorce attorney, doesn\u2019t believe in love. She has kept every man she has dated at arm\u2019s length, and that has never bothered her before until the day she sees her last ex-boyfriend\u2019s fianc\u00e9 on the show <em>Say Yes to the Dress. <\/em>Alex spirals out of control finding out that every one of her previous relationships settled down immediately after her. This sets her on a mission to find out why she was never \u201cthe one\u201d.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><strong>Will Harkness<\/strong> has always cared about Alex from afar but knew that anything between them was impossible because of their complicated family relationship. After Will finds out about Alex\u2019s escapades, he tags along with the hope in discovering how to win Alex\u2019s heart.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">Oh boy. I had some huge problems with this one. First, Alex is set up to give off strong boss girl vibes, but in the way that she is presented she comes across as spoiled, rude, and one of the most unlikeable characters I have ever read. She disguises her rude remarks and bad attitude as \u201cbrutal honesty\u201d which it isn\u2019t. After the halfway point, I am supposed to believe that now she believes in romance and love because Will finally decides he loves her. He deserved better, and she deserved to be in therapy to become a functioning adult before getting into a relationship.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">If you\u2019re a fan of snarky and strong heroines like those of Alexis Daria and Tessa Bailey then give this a try. It might work better for you than it did for me.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>~ Michelle<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3xraApG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/apple.co\/3mN2OBq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iBooks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/thank-you-next-andie-j-christopher\/1140163164?ean=9780593200070\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">B&amp;N<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kobo.com\/us\/en\/ebook\/thank-you-next-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobo<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/books\/details\/Andie_J_Christopher_Thank_You_Next?id=z95CEAAAQBAJ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Play<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28238","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28238"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28238\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28844,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28238\/revisions\/28844"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28510"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28238"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28238"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28238"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
