I loved how the author builds the emotional connection between her leads with painstaking care and attention to detail. What makes this story shine is that the hero never disregards or undermines the heroine’s need for self-definition. Because, first and foremost, this is the tale of a woman who’s learning to love herself before she can love anyone else. Definitely a full 5 stars read for me.

A divorce attorney who believes in soul mates and a rom-com writer who believes true love is only a fairy tale reconnect at their 15th high school reunion. Molly and Seth dated for four years in high school but Molly broke up with him the night of high school graduation and then spent the next two years mourning him and the next thirteen years pushing away any relationship that started getting too serious. Seth, on the other hand, has spent the time pursuing one woman after another, longing for the family and stability he craves but ends up disappointed. And finally, Seth and Molly meet again. High school sweethearts. They make a bet. Five couples at the reunion. Who will still be together in five years? The winner has to either admit that soul mates exist or that romance is dead. And one of the couples? Seth and Molly. I really enjoyed this book, which chronicles the next five years through both Seth's and Molly's POV, sometimes describing the same events, which I LOVED. You learn why Molly is so against permanency and opening herself up to real love and why Seth has never been able to find what he's looking for. I wish there had been at least one more section before the 20th reunion, as the ending felt a little rushed. And then I wished for an epilogue maybe another five years in the future. I would NOT say no to a sequel to this story!

I really enjoyed reading Just Some Stupid Love Story. I will give it 4.3/5 stars. It is definitely worth a read. I really enjoyed Seth's character and think he is a great book boyfriend! At times Molly, the main character, annoyed me. A bit frustrating to keep thinking that I hope this isn't an HEA so Seth finds a girl he deserves. Apart from being a bit too predictable and slightly annoying, I would recommend this book for the banter, writing style, dual POV, and the fact I couldn't put it down. Thanks for letting me read this.
