Happiness and happenstance go hand-in-hand in this delightful rom-com from the author of Hazel Fine Sings Along.
Chloe Baker has a brand new life in New York City with a great job but zero dating life. When she agrees to go on a blind date, she’s nervous but excited. But then, Jack is late. Ten minutes. Twenty. Thirty.
Just when she’s given up all hope, he shows up–and they spend a magical day together. An afternoon at the Met. A walk in Central Park. One amazing kiss. The perfect date.
Chloe’s on cloud nine, and she can’t wait to see Jack again. But when she texts to say thanks for the great date, she doesn’t get the reply she’s expecting. Suddenly, Jack’s unfindable. And Chloe will go to any lengths to figure out what happened–because true love is worth blowing up your life for . . . or is it?
My thoughts about Chloe Baker's Lost Date ~~
(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first lines.)
First line—"He was late. Late for our date. Five minutes, seven, ten."
Chloe Baker's Lost Date is an entertaining, fun story but I have to be honest, I was a little frustrated with the relationship that Chloe had with 'Jack'. Why couldn't they be on the same page at the same time? So much back and forth. But I guess that's what makes for a compelling story and it definitely made me keep turning the pages. But seriously, get it together guys!
Putting aside my tiny bit of frustration, I thoroughly enjoyed this story and the characters. Some of the predicaments they found themselves in were so much fun to be a part of. And watching the relationship come together and blossom was totally satisfying.
I've read both of Katie Wick's novels and love them both. Chloe Baker's Lost Love was the perfect escape read that I needed right now. I highly recommend it for a fun, summer read.
I received a copy of Chloe Baker's Lost Date via NetGalley and this is my honest opinion of the book.
