I absolutely adored Lease on Love by Falon Ballard and was very excited that I was sent a copy of the eARC of her latest novel, Just My Type. It did not disappoint! I loved it! Lana and Seth were awesome characters, each with their own set of issues to work through. It was pleasing to see how their characters developed and changed throughout the story. This book landed somewhere between a rivals-to-lovers and a second-chance romance. Two of my favorite tropes. I enjoyed Lana and Seth’s banter and bickering; the tension between them sizzled off the pages. The social media theme added a nice twist to the story and I felt it was well done. The group chat conversations were the best. If you love a sweet rom-com with a happy-ever-after ending this book is perfect for you! I highly recommend this fun read!
Publishers Synopsis:
To win the job of her dreams, a relationship-prone journalist needs to learn how to stay single in this heartwarming and hilarious new romantic comedy from the beloved author of Lease on Love.
Lana Parker is an expert girlfriend. After a disastrous breakup with her high school boyfriend, she’s bounced from long-term relationship to long-term relationhip and even works as the dating and relationships columnist for one of Los Angeles’s trendiest websites. But when Lana suddenly finds herself single, she’s ready to take a break, both personally and professionally.
That is, until her high school ex, Seth Carson, takes an assignment at Lana’s site. Having spent years traveling the world as a freelance journalist, Seth’s finally ready to put down roots. Seth and Lana’s chemistry is just as combative—and undeniable—as ever and quickly leads to a competition that could shape both of their careers. Pitted against each other by Lana’s boss, they are each tasked with writing an article series that goes against their usual dating type: Lana needs to write about being single and staying single, while Seth must learn to settle down and become boyfriend material. Whoever’s series is most popular wins a highly coveted dream job. But when the two square off, it’s not only their careers on the line—it’s also their hearts.
