Getting past the language used was a huge barrier to my finishing this book. It was a little unnecessary and over the top. The plot was predictable, and the characters weren't really that likable. I give it two stars for descriptions of Copenhagen (saved me the trip money) and the information about beer brewing.

Such a funny, fresh romance! I really enjoyed the depiction of Copenhagen as I don't know if I've read a novel set there before, and it made me want to visit. Jen is a compelling, relatable heroine and in addition to her romantic relationship, readers get a good feel for the heartwarming sisterly relationship between Jen and Lydia. This book reminded me a lot of a Sophie Kinsella book, where there's kind of a formula, but it's one that I love and could read again and again. I would recommend this to any fans of light, witty romantic comedies!

This book is so cute! I really enjoyed reading it.

Briefly, our main character is Jen. Jen is likable and quite easy to relate to. She works in a job that she doesn't really like while her real passion lies with beer brewing. This is quite a nice change, I haven't come across a book that focuses on that. Jen is also engaged to man that is dependable yet quite boring. When she goes to Copenhagen, she meets a hot and mysterious stranger and yep, things happen from that point.

So when it comes to the plot, there's something quite predictable. We've all read books like this in the genre. However, the writing style is so refreshing. The characters are so genuine that I was at the edge of my seat, even if I had felt I could predict the ending.

The best part is that I couldn't! I was surprised by parts of the ending. Even if this book sticks to the conventions of the genre (no threesome, as I'd hoped), it's definitely a fun read that offers some new perspectives. It works well and has a great flow to it. There's a lot of humor and a nice pacing.

I loved that the focus of this book wasn't romance. Jen's dreams as well as her relationship with her sister Lydia take up more room. It was very well crafted. This book is so sweet and yet manages to give off a serious message about what love should be (be it romantic love or sisterly love).

I saw a lot of myself in Lydia. I felt like her character was well done. Amputees will have to speak up about the accuracy of her character but as a younger sibling, I can say that she is perfectly written. I've given my sister the exact same speeches about love, I've stormed out of arguments in the exact same way, I tease my sister exactly like that.

The parts set in Copenhagen were cute. I was in Copenhagen last month. The fact that Jen met a friendly Dane is already somewhat impressive but yeah, I liked the chemistry between them.

Man, this book made me crave a beer. I wish I understood beers as much as Jen, like that is such a cool thing to know.

All in all, if you're up for a fun romantic comedy, this is a perfect read for you!
