Publisher’s Description:

Hazel Camille Bradford knows she’s a lot to take—and frankly, most men aren’t up to the challenge. If her army of pets and thrill for the absurd don’t send them running, her lack of filter means she’ll say exactly the wrong thing in a delicate moment. Their loss. She’s a good soul in search of honest fun.

Josh Im has known Hazel since college, where her zany playfulness proved completely incompatible with his mellow restraint. From the first night they met—when she gracelessly threw up on his shoes—to when she sent him an unintelligible email while in a post-surgical haze, Josh has always thought of Hazel more as a spectacle than a peer. But now, ten years later, after a cheating girlfriend has turned his life upside down, going out with Hazel is a breath of fresh air.

Not that Josh and Hazel date. At least, not each other. Because setting each other up on progressively terrible double blind dates means there’s nothing between them…right?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Every Christina Lauren book I read, I think I like better than the last. I’ve only just come into reading this author, or rather these authors writing under one pen name, when I first discovered My Favorite Half-Night Stand, and I love the characters, the settings, the romance, and the friendships in each book since.

For Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating, the characters had one thing in spades: personality! Hazel was a quirky yet unapologetic woman, and she knew that it would take a special man to handle her long-term. Josh is a Korean male who, to me, felt like he oozed charm and masculine sensitivity in a way that another author might not have done as well as was done for him in this story. He was a catch!

The slow burn was just too, too good in this book, and the chemistry between these two was just too fun. I absolutely adored these characters and this story, and I cannot wait to read more from the Christina Lauren files. Refreshing!
