Not the Girl You Marry by Andie J. Christopher

Not the Girl You Marry by Andie J. ChristopherThis book was described as a gender-swapped "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days"  for millenials. I saw it and thought, "Hard pass" because I did NOT like that movie. Both characters were pretty despicable  and I had no interest in reading a book based on them. But then I heard Christopher on two different podcasts. She seems likable and the characters sounded like they might actually be decent so I thought, "What the heck" and requested the book from NetGalley.
It may be that I had lowered expectations but I liked this book. Part of it might be having better access to the character's though processes but a lot can be attributed to the author and I look forward to reading more from her.
Jack and Hannah both develop over the course of the novel (good character development is one of my catnips). Hannah starts out with a chip on her shoulder because she, admittedly, hasn't been treated well by men in her past. Meanwhile, Jack prides himself on being the perfect boyfriend. Both find out that they have skewed views and they are better together.

Four stars
