Description

He's everything I never wanted...

When people ask me what I love about living in the Pacific Northwest, that's easy. Nothing.

But the mountain of debt my ex saddled me with means I'm not going anywhere. So I started a food blog thinking it'd be my ticket out of here. Wrong.

Just when I think things couldn't get any worse, my roommate drags me to a singles event where she hopes to meet Mr. Right. I meet Mr. Wrong, Dustin Kelley, a diehard Pacific Northwesterner. We couldn't be more different if we tried.

But when I learn he runs a successful hiking blog, I get an idea. We can collaborate. The plan? He gets five tries to make me fall in love with this region while I create recipes and food for our trips.

Turns out, Dustin is the sweetest guy I've ever met and he quickly becomes my ray of sunshine in this otherwise gloomy place. But falling in love was never part of the plan, so when my blog finally takes off giving me enough money to move, I'm left with a tough choice—stay or go?

    This book is definitely for older teenagers in my opinion. The drama is there but the smut is rated PG. It’s a classic love story, but there could’ve been more spiciness added.
  • Fast and easy read

    Fun little story to read. I enjoyed the exploration of the Seattle area. The nice and pragmatic take on food. And the very real feeling modern love story. I will most likely buy the next book in the series

    Great. Story. AMAZING! I love every aspect of this book, a mix of spicy,sad, funny, and interesting! I highly recommend reading this book! Late night reading is a hobby of mine, so at night I ALWAYS find myself reading this book over again! This is the second time I have completed the book, and it's never gotten boring!

    This book took me by surprise. It would nice to read about the guy taking the initiative and doing the pursuing. I would say I was on the edge throughout the reading because I just wasn't sure about Dustin! Glad it worked out!!
  • Enjoyable light hearted reading

    I absolutely loved this book and how Lizzy Barlow wrote was immaculate and easy to follow for those who have trouble finding and reading a good book. I would recommend this book to those people and all people because of how great it was. Took me a straight week to read it but it was worth every minute of reading. Can’t wait to read the adventures of Fern, Brett and Tanner in the next book Not What I Expected. You know a book is a great book when you cry is what I always say and this one some tears were shed but they were a mix of happy and sad tears. And Lizzy Barlow did a great job with the feels of the book and its characters.
  • Loved it!

    The book was really good and it was emotional in some aspects. I like that they both had past hurt that ended up being what helped their relationship be better than their last.
  • Great story and facts about Seattle

    Nice story line but also is a unique tour guide about Seattle. Makes you want to go and visit there. So much to see. Def worth a read and a trip!
  • Enjoyable Read

    I have been very lucky to visit the PNW area and experience so many of the sights that are visited in the book. It’s exactly like I remember! I found the characters very likable and once I got into the book I couldn’t put it down. Can’t wait to read the next one and see what happens to Fern.
  • Don’t bother.

    Couldn’t finish. Banal in every sense of the word. The story is bland, there’s no interesting plot, the writing is frankly meh. A sixth grader could’ve written this.
