I received a copy of this book thru Xpresso Book Tours for an honest review. I wasn’t compensated for anything that I say about this book.
Dating the It Guy is a quick contemporary romance. I found the writing to be a tad bit boring at times, but only because in the style not in the story. The story itself was cute and filled with emotions. Emotions that really hit me.
Like Emme, I’m a believer in fate and signs. I used New Age ways much in the same was as Emme. It was this and her relationship with her grandparents that I related the most with. I felt terrible for what she was going through and wanted the best for her.
The book hints that this is a romance, but I felt it was more than just that. This book dealt with grief and finding the self esteem to be your own person. The romance is there and it is a sweet romance, but it was more.
I actually really liked this book. The cover made me think it was more of a romantic comedy, but the story was a pleasant surprise. I would love to see more of Hager’s work.
