Book Review: "How Not to Fall in Love" by Jacqueline Firkins

Here’s an adorable YA romance about the blurry line between friendship and love.

Harper doesn’t believe in love. Working at her mom’s bridal shop, she’s seen brides turn to bridezillas and she’s seen all the stress and meanness that comes with getting married, without the good stuff.

Her best friend and next door neighbor, Theo, is the opposite. He’s a fan of rom-coms and the grand romantic gesture, and if anything, he falls too hard too fast. After the latest girl breaks his heart, Harper resolves to teach him how not to fall in love in exchange for his help improving her vocabulary so she can retake the SATs. But there’s one more catch: Harper also needs to date without falling in love.

Of course, Harper, who never dates, is finding it hard not to get emotionally involved. And Theo is succeeding all too well. So as Harper watches him dating and realizes how it makes her feel, she realizes that maybe Theo had it right in the first place—and maybe the question of what love is was in front of her all along.

I thought this was so sweet! Thanks to Clarion Books and Storygram Tours for inviting me on the tour for How Not to Fall in Love and providing a complimentary copy of the book!
