My review:

Sally & Harry
Sally believes wholeheartedly in romance, the happily ever after and feeling all the fuzzies that go along with love. She saw it every day with her parents until they were tragically killed when she was 16. She grew up quickly and had to take care of her younger sister, Amy, and still continues to do so even though she’s an adult. Amy was really annoying me, but I’m happy that she slowly got her act together.

Harry didn’t grow up with the best role models as parents, which turned him off to believing love exists. “He knew he wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea ~ sarcastic, blunt, stubborn, hard headed” me too Harry, me too! But you can’t help but feel bad about what he went through. His parents were pretty awful.

I grew up in the good ole 90’s, so the romcom mentions from then were the typical ones. I have never watched When Harry Met Sally, so like, Harry, I had to google the infamous restaurant scene. You won’t ever catch me making videos on TikTok, but I’ve been known to watch some once in awhile. I bet the ones they made would be an adorable hoot to watch.

For every likable character there were just as many unlikable ones, which helped round out the story. It’s a little on the longer side, has a cutesy title and fun cover, and I had a great time reading it.

Book blurb:

The perfect pick me up romcom for fans of Beth O’Leary, Sophie Kinsella and Sophie Ranald!
Sally is a classic romantic and Harry is a classic cynic, but when a drunken bet leads the new flatmates to (badly) recreate ‘the lift’ from Dirty Dancing, and the video goes viral (#EpicRomcomReenactmentFailure), they both realise there’s potential financial benefit in blundering their way through the romcom lexicon for their suddenly vast social media following.

Now, as Harry and Sally bring major romcom moments to new life – including recreating that classic diner scene – their faking it turns to making…out and suddenly they’re living a real life romcom of their own! But like all the greatest love stories, the road to happily ever after is paved with unexpected challenges for this hero and heroine…
