This is a full-length, 110k word novel and is the first book in the Knitting in the City series.
There are three things you need to know about Janie Morris: 1) She is incapable of engaging in a conversation without volunteering TMTI (Too Much Trivial Information), especially when she is unnerved, 2) No one unnerves her more than Quinn Sullivan, and 3) She doesn't know how to knit.
After losing her boyfriend, apartment, and job in the same day, Janie Morris can't help wondering what new torment fate has in store. To her utter mortification, Quinn Sullivan- aka Sir McHotpants- witnesses it all then keeps turning up like a pair of shoes you lust after but can't afford. The last thing she expects is for Quinn- the focus of her slightly, albeit harmless, stalkerish tendencies- to make her an offer she can't refuse.
My Review:
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
4 Platypires for Neanderthal Seeks Human by Penny Reid.
I heard about this book about a 1 1/2 years ago at an author signing event here in Houston. I added this book to my never-ending TBR list and only decided to pick it up because the author is coming back to town later this year. I should never have waited this long. BIG MISTAKE. I really did like this book and lost some sleep reading it. Smart and nerdy characters FTW. I thought Janie was just too cute and the romance was just adorable. Quinn is defiantly book boyfriend material. I thought he had so much patience with Janie especially with all her quirks.
The biggest issue I had with this story were all of Janie's trivia ramblings. It got to be too much to the point when her sister told her to stop with the Wikipedia crap, I actually said THANK YOU out loud. Instead of it being a cute quirk it got to the point of being slightly annoying. I sill liked Janie. I just wanted her to stop and just chill out.
Overall, I did truly enjoy this book. It was a fun, romantic, smart read. (I actually had to look up some words, kudos for that.)
Highly recommend this book for someone looking for a funny romantic read.
