Boyfriend by the Book — Laura Briggs

Can Jodi find true love with help from the likes of Lizzie Bennet and Jane Eyre? Her friends think she can and push her to use a relationship guide that claims women can find their perfect match by channeling the wisdom of famous storybook heroines. Jodi thinks it sounds crazy -- no way is she acting like some character in a book to find a man! Besides, she already has a crush on Levi, the cute and friendly deliveryman for the hotel where she works. But when Levi suddenly grows distant and Jodi's chances with him seem to fizzle before her eyes, she wonders if her friends might have a point after all. Disheartened and lonely, she decides to give the so-called relationship guide a whirl, with unexpected consequences.

Before you can say ‘Pride and Prejudice', Jodi is up to her neck in handsome, brooding men that seem too much like fictional heroes to be true. Her attempts to think like the greatest heroines in romance lead her to meet everything from a modern Mr. Rochester to an angsty Heathcliff, and even a Darcy-esque novelist. But when a former crush re-enters her life in the form of a modern day Romeo, Jodi wonders if there might be something to this ‘inner heroine' thing after all. Now, if she could just stop thinking about Levi, then maybe her happy-ever-after will fall into place…or is something still missing from Jodi's storybook romance?

Boyfriend by the Book is a perfect feel good read for curling up with on a rainy day or a summer afternoon, with lots of laughs and surprises to keep the reader turning pages!
