Loved the movie and the book was a great way to fill in the little things that we didn't see on screen.

This book was based on the Hallmark movie. A very cute, fun and funny romantic comedy.

Cass decides to follow a dating handbook to find love.

She gets into a pickle being torn between two guys.
Her family has their own opinions.

Hilarity ensues with all the different dates and her trying to decide which guy, if either one, is Mr. Right.

A nice escape, sweet romance and just a nice delightful way to spend an afternoon or evening.

4 *** highly recommended if you like love and laughter.


Thank you to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for my honest review of the e arc.

This was a cute book, and definitely evoked the classic Hallmark romance. It was cheesy and the writing wasn’t anything special. But the story was fun and cute.

Love this story! It’s even better that it was made into a Hallmark movie! A great romance with a cute plot and characters.

A Hallmark book based on the movie? Yes, please! This is your typical Hallmark storyline and absolutely charming.

Fast, easy romance based off a hallmark movie. Decent enough. If you've watched Hallmark Original Movies... you know what you're walking into. Downloaded free from netgalley in exchange for free review. Three spoons for this one.

Dater's Handbook was an okay adaption of the Hallmark movie. The entire time I was reading this I kept comparing it to the movie, which made it hard to enjoy it.

A lovely warm hug of a book. This is your typical happy go lucky romance that will leave you with a smile on your face when you turn the last page.

The best of the Hallmark books I've read. Hallmark should hire this author to do more adaptations. This is the first one where I enjoyed the book more than the movie. Very clever, witty and it has actual romantic chemistry, which is rare in a Hallmark book. Well done.

Cute little romance that is a fast and easy read.
If you want something nice and easy to read, something that gives you a quick escape and will entertain you but not make you think?
Give this one a read!

Writing is cliched and annoying.

I enjoyed the book as much as I enjoyed the movie! I was so happy to see it was one of the stories Hallmark decided to put into print.

Cassandra has quite a bit of a hard time choose between Robert and George. She has fun and enjoys both of them. With Dr. Susie's advice always right at the center of mind, she's trying to make a better decision that will have her happy wnd satisfied long term with a man that fits on every way.

I give this 5 stars for ingenuity and wonderful flow. This novel was great! I gave an honest review in exchange for an ARC of this novel.

This was a cute book and if you liked the movie of the same title, the story follows quite well. I was impressed by the writer and her ability to keep the feeling of the story and the place very similar to what we see on screen, yet gave enough to use your own imagination to fill in gaps that made it very much your own story. I also enjoyed reading the character's thoughts, which aren't always shared by the movie as well. Great story!

This was the first book that I’ve read by Cara and loved the humor and writing style. I laughed and felt connected with the characters. She drew me in and I had felt as if I was living the story. Excellent story and I’ve found a new author. Happy reading!

Thank you to NetGalley & the publisher for the opportunity to review and read this book. I was very happy knowing a great Hallmark film was yet again based off a book.

I never give any spoilers but I will say this book had me smiling and it was just a fun read. I enjoyed this book very much. I look forward to reading more books by Cara Lockwood in the future. You should check this one out yourself.

Daters Handbook was such a quick fun read. I can't wait to watch the movie. It wasn't as predictable as I had originally thought it was going to be there towards the end. Robert was such a great character I thought! George got on my nerves a bit. I guess I like the more laid back personality like Robert than I did George's uptight nature. Cass should have listened to Duke! Dogs know best!


Cass is such a sweet character. She deserved way better than Peter! I just wanted to slap him.

*I received this book from the publisher and NetGalley to review
