Asking for Trouble
Asking for Trouble | Liz Young
11 posts | 13 read | 12 to read
Sophy's single and happy about it. She does, however, have an imaginary boyfriend, Dominic, a little white lie designed to keep Sophy's mother off her back. Which is fine, until his presence is demanded at a family wedding. So does Sophy admit Dominic is a fantasy? Oh no. Sophy hires an escort. But when the distinctly delicious Josh Carmichael arrives on her doorstep, Sophy can tell things are going to get tricky. And the wedding is only the beginning...

Liz Young is my favorite romance author, and I wish she'd written more books! This one starts with a #fauxmance between Sophy and Josh- she needs a date to keep her mom off her back, and he's just the guy to do it. But of course, Sophy develops real feelings for him, just as a family drama starts to heat up. The popular movie The Wedding Date was based on this book, but changed some important elements of the story. #TropesInAugust

Klou I've never heard of this author. I'll have to go check out her books on Goodreads. Sounds good!! 4y

A fun romp similar to the movie that was based on it, The Wedding Date with Debra Messing. Most of the elements of the movie were there, just laid out a bit differently. This was a nice, light easy read.
Note: this was written by an British author & therefore has a lot of slang that may not be familiar to American readers. While I had fun looking some things up, I eventually just had to keep reading & gloss over some in order to keep up the flow.

Some light reading on the plane! This is the book that the movie The Wedding Date was based on. Hope it‘s just as fun!

Questions hosted by @Josie
1. Average: 7
2. Long books
3. 52 books. I reached that during the summer, but I want to be able to read as many long books as I want without thinking about goals
4. Can't think of any
5. Paper
6. 1.000+, I don't have any exact numbers
7. Don't know, but should probably cull a little

Josie I love that you didn't up your goal after meeting it. You can just read whatever you want and not worry about it! I might have to make my goal smaller next year so I can do that. 7y
AnneCecilie @Josie sometimes it's easy to forget, but reading isn't a competition. For me it's about the good reading experiences. So I don't want to be "forced" into reading something, just to meet some goal. 7y
Josie @AnneCecilie I completely agree! At the beginning of the year, I made lists and signed up for challenges all dictating what I would read. That lasted about 2 months. I just wasn't enjoying the reading I was doing, and it wasn't much! 7y
Sace Love this conversation. I've already started thinking about next year and I'm wondering if I should forgo the Goodreads challenge next year. I don't know how I feel about quantifying my reading all the time. 7y

I missed out on a ton of questionnaires while on my Litsy hiatus. So, I made one! You can participate if you want, I'd love to hear from you! Also, I know it's pretty much impossible to find my name when trying to tag. Don't sweat it! Just have fun :)
1. 8-10 books a month
2. I love both
3. I binge watch tv or movies. I get bored of that quickly and feel like reading after a few days.
4. I am at 81/100!
5. Romance
Continued in comments...

Josie 6. Magnetic bookmarks!
7. ~450
8. 1,000 so I can match up with @Gayan
9. I'm terrified of frogs. TERRIFIED PEOPLE.

I kept finding books with yellow spines but not yellow covers. Finally as I was getting ready for bed I saw this on the shelf in my room. #yellowcovers #riotgrams

ScientistSam I love this author! I wish she'd written more than the 4(?) books.... 7y
Christinak @ScientistSam I am glad to hear it! I picked up two of her books at a sale. They are on my TBR. 7y

Mehso-so

Es una comedia romántica bastante entretenida, pero debo decir que durante la primera mitad del libro me marcaba mucho ya que pasaba muy rápido de escena, no lograba diferenciar los personajes.
la otra mitad fue más llevadera no pare de reírme por las ocurrencias de la protagonista.
