A fun read with some substance behind it, as both characters had their own personal struggles. Their comic book connection, while not my thing, was sweet. The only part I couldn't get behind was the town voting for what "team" they were on and having yard signs. That felt a bit much. I'm looking forward to Ainsley and Kyle's story.

When Daniel met Winnie he knew from the first moment on that she was his soulmate.
Just by looking at her.
But when he introduced himself, she blocked him and left. But Daniel didn’t give up.
And as if fate was playing into his hands Winnie was moving into his best friends house, being her new roommate.
Even though Winnie likes Daniel, his humor, his interest in comics and his good looks, she sees his age as a problem.
He’s just too young for her. She doesn’t want to be a cougar.
But Daniela is not giving up and soon even Winnie sees what a good partner in crime he is.

All in all that was a nice story.
But I had some problems with it...
first of all the first page. The author describes the characters as fair skinned even though there is no real reason to do so?
I’m not a fast offended person, but some people are. But that’s the only time she mentions it.
Also I thought it was weird that Daniel saw Winnie and was like: SOULMATE!
Only be looking at her? I thought being a soulmate is more than just good looks?
And it was so weird that Winnie called her own mother Dr. Baker.
Not always, but it was still so weird.

All in all I didn’t really like it and I’m really sorry about that.

Fiona West’s Could be Something Good had a lot going on in such a ‘small-town’ mundane setting with mundane conversation and dialogue.
There were a lot of improbable situations in this first-in-a-series debut. The one that stood out the most for me was that the female main character, Winifred, is 30 years old and is a self-proclaimed ‘millennial’, attracted to Daniel, a 24 year old doctor who she deems too young for her ancient self. Multiple times in this book Winnie brings up different television shows, such as Mindy and Mork, and other show titles that she supposedly watched as a millennial, yet wasn’t even around during the 1990s, when millennial would have watched shows. The shows that she references as to have watched are from the 1980s, so maybe the author meant to make Winnie 40 years of age? Winnie also keeps mentioning that Daniel is a millennial, when in fact he would maybe be considered a Generation Z member. Winnie also does not know what ‘tea’ is, and ‘savage’. I feel like the author was confused and this whole concept needs to be edited so that it makes sense.

Other improbabilities in this book that made it hard to swallow: a family that consists of 4 children where 1 has autism, 1 had cancer, and 1 is dyslexic AND became a medical doctor was too irregular. Science, and genetics does not work this way in one family. I was mostly not sold on Daniel, the doctor in this book, having dyslexia and overcoming a lot of obstacles in the past and currently because of his dyslexia and being successful at his doctor profession. Daniel still has many hurdles to overcome because he cannot read well, and it didn’t make sense that he is able to struggle for long minutes to read important diagnoses, and charts and patient files and sometimes misreads them and he is a successful doctor? I was completely not sold on this. This is not to say that I do not think that a person with dyslexia can not become a successful person or doctor, I just didn’t think this author portrayed her character realistically as having dyslexia and still struggling with it at the same time and proclaiming him a success. The last improbability was Winnie’s lie to her mom that spans her entire career as a midwife/nurse. She is a thirty (maybe meant to be forty) year old woman who lies for year after year about her MCAT test results and this is meant to be realistic? This is not a mature woman, especially as I know no one in life that would lie about this to their own mother. This and also hiding in supply closets when she sees Daniel at the hospital were just too over-the-top improbable that a mature person would do.

One or two improbabilities, or outside-of-the-box concepts make for a quirky read, however too many un-realities make a book hard to swallow.

I loved this book!
It was such a sweet story that made me smile, a great rom-com :) The characters were very believable and I really enjoyed their reactions to the different situations (lots of laughter involved), while still showing the characters growth as people throughout the story. I though that Fiona West told a fun story, and showed some really good life lessons about perseverance, doing whats right for you, and that its okay to take time to smile.
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars for the cool references, the great character build up, and for making me smile :) I truly enjoyed this book and definitely recommend reading it!

This was such a sweet romance! Totally addicted from the first page, I stayed up until the early hours of the morning to read this book all in one sitting!

Winnie and Daniel are an adorable couple - two genuinely lovely people with insecurities and vulnerabilities that they support one another through. Funny, smart, a little bit geeky - I cannot recommend this story enough!

What a cute and quirky story about finding and fighting for love, standing up to your parents for your dreams and how annoying big brothers can really be. I always love reading about small towns such as these and their ability to meddle in their citizens' everyday lives.

I actually enjoyed this book a lot more than I thought j would. It sounded like it might be fun but I didn't give it much thought beyond that and figured as it was a read now, I might as well give it a go.

It's well-written and refreshing, I especially like that Winnie is older than Daniel and that Daniel is fun and friendly and not a broody type.

I love the side story of Kyle liking Ainsley and am excited to read their story.

Would definitely recommend this book!
