After dropping out of her first year of university because of a disastrous romance, Effie Brooks is ready to accept failure and go home. Only home isn't an option anymore. Her parents have decided to take the hard line, unwilling to let their daughter become a slacker. That means sending the aggrieved teenager to live with her grandmother Helen, who’s just as resentful about the arrangement as Effie. It doesn’t make the for the most harmonious of living situations.

Effie’s at rock bottom. But when Gretchen Vaughn, an enigmatic rebel from Effie’s past, makes a reappearance Effie can’t believe her luck. Could she finally get a shot at the girl of her dreams? And if so… How do you romance a girl like Gretchen when you’re a dropout who lives with her cantankerous grandmother?

Another hilarious romantic comedy from the internationally bestselling author of ‘By Any Other Name’ and ‘The Plus One’.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet "growing up" book
Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2018
At first Effie was very self-centered and I didn't really care for her. However, after she learned to grow up just a bit thanks to her grandmother Helen, I was really rooting for her. Gretchen helped her through the process, too. All in all this was a really cute and easy read. Lots of humor but also a lot of thinking about life. Thank you to the author for another very good book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not much of a romance
Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2019

I enjoyed the lessons acquired from the book and the personality of the grandmother. The immaturity of the main character was a lot for me to read through. It went on for at least half the book. I held on till the end, but only because of the lessons the grandmother shared. That intrigued my analytical mind. Definitely not a reread for me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Always Wearing Love Colored Lenses
Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2020
Effie was sent to take care of her old "bitter" gram Helen as a quasi punishment, until she figured out her life after dropping out of university. But while living wither gram, she unexpectedly runs into an old classmate, the cool girl Gretchen. And if Effie can stop drooling and fumbling over her, she maybe able to hangout with her. Because there is not way a girl like THE Gretchen would like her, is there?

I loved how relatable the main character, Effie, and yet wasn't as she was sarcastic to a fault, hard headed and fell hard in love. Ultimately Effie learns life isn't just about how you perceive people, but more or less you need to listen to them and get to actually know a person to understand them not just put them on a pedestal. And I think that's why I like Effie so much even if I didn't feel so much for Gretchen. The change and growth from Effie was great. Plus Effie and Helen were cute together especially when they butted heads, reminded me of my own grandma and me.

Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2018
This was a good quick read about a girl that doesn't know what to do with her life, but her grandmother helps her figure it out. Has a bit of romance mixed it and some laughable moments. Give this a try. Thank you to the author.

I'm old enough to sometimes be irritated by teenagers but it was interesting seeing Effie evolve through this story. Had to remind myself of some mistakes I made in my youth. Maybe why I was rooting for the little bugger.
