As they say, get you a man who looks at you the way Andrew looks at Katie – but also, look back at him the way Katie looks back at Andrew. Andrew is so kind and lovable and besotted, exactly the hero Katie needs after her self-esteem gets rocked. I haven’t read a couple this genuinely sweet in such a long time. But the real joy of this anthology is watching her with Andrew. Normally, romance showcases the uncool girls, so I enjoyed the originality of seeing that blonde, bubbly Katie is just as insecure as the rest of us. Katie’s football player boyfriend ditched her, and Scarlet set her up with her boyfriend’s neighbor Andrew, a basketball player, for the sorority/fraternity event the ex will be attending. If you’ve kept up with The Ivy Years series, you’ll remember meeting Katie as “one of the Katies”, roommates to Scarlet in The Year We Hid Away. A standout read of my recent Sarina Bowen binge was the delightful novella Blonde Date, which used to be available by itself but is now only available in the Extra Credit anthology.
