About THE ACCIDENTAL DATING EXPERIMENT
I’ve spent the better part of eight years resisting my best friend’s little sister. What’s one more week? The hardest week ever when it includes a proposition to be her dating coach.


Eight years ago I fell into a secret summer fling with the bright, big-hearted Juliet before our lives went in different directions.

Now, I’m the grumpy to her sunshine on a popular dating podcast we host, and when a wealthy fan gives us a charming coastal cottage as the biggest thank you ever, we head to the town where I grew up to give it a makeover.

And find the house has only one bed.

Located under a mirrored ceiling.

To make matters even harder, the woman I’ve been pining for tells me she wants to try to find the one and would I please be her dating coach for the week?

Like hell I’ll let her date other men. I’ll coach her on three dates with me.

But the second I take her out, I don’t feel like her teacher. I feel like she’s mine, especially when the first night ends with us tangled up together in that bed.

Each night we grow closer, but this dating experiment forces me to face my greatest fear – whether a man like me is worthy of her love.

Even though I’m already head over heels for her.

MY REVIEW


Monroe and Juliet never seem to get their timing right. They had a fling years ago but it didn't last, as they then went their separate ways afterward. Now they're back in each other's lives, as coworkers and even friends (her brother is his best friend). Though their fling didn't last, their chemistry still sizzles, and they find themselves in close proximity thanks to a superfan listener of their podcast, and that chemistry has its way with them. But are they really just letting themselves be instructor and student as Monroe becomes her dating coach for the week?


Juliet has a history of bad dates, and Monroe loves to snark at her about it on their podcast. They don't talk about their ill advised fling, but it's always in the room like the proverbial elephant, just as are their feelings. Asking him to be her dating coach for the week they're staying in this bonkers house together is either the best thing she's ever done and will gain her some stellar dates, or the worst and she'll (they'll) get her heart broken because Monroe is emotionally unavailable typified.


Brother's best friend, second chance, one bed - check, check, check! One of my favorite things about Juliet and Monroe's story, about Lauren's writing in general, is the banter. It's so on point here - snarky, witty, funny, with their underlying feelings and chemistry lacing every word. Monroe is the one with the emotional scars, making him the grumpster with feelings of insecurity and afraid he's not able to give Juliet what she deserves. Thank God he's able to, with some good advice from friends, move past his baggage and realize he's actually the perfect man for her. These two are actually pretty sweet for a pair of grumpy/sunshine friends who finally give into their feelings. The How to Date series has been all kinds of sexy fun, now I'm really excited for Fable and Wilder's story next, My Favorite Holidate. I can't wait to see if Juliet was right about them.

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
