How to Find Love When You're Weird A Sweet Romantic Comedy

I am a perfectly functional adult.

So why is it so hard to get a date? When my father decided last year that I wouldn't receive my inheritance until I am in a stable relationship, I let the ever-important deadline slip through the cracks.

Why bother dating, when I can read, right? Wrong.

Now, I have less than two months to find love if I'm going to inherit my cottage home, and even with a stack of self-help books a mile high, things are not looking good. The only man who's graced me with more than five minutes of his attention is a giant tattooed bar owner.

Sure, he's the most beautiful man I've ever seen. And, sure, he keeps appearing in my life. And...sure...when we enter into a fake/practice dating collaboration, it seems an awful lot like the start of a rom-com, but there's no way our little stint turns into anything else.

I absolutely refuse to date anyone who drinks. He may be the gentlest grump now, but I know what alcohol does to people, and I am not looking for someone I think I can trust to hurt me again.

No matter what, follow point #1 on my outline: Do NOT fall in love.

How to Find Love When You're Weird is a grumpy/sunshine satirical romance with a neurodivergent lead on the road to self-acceptance. Each book in this series has sensual description that is ultimately closed door/fade to black, minimal cursing if any at all, and a swoon-worthy love story. Please reference the reader expectations after the title page for specific details.

I'm very torn about this one, going with 3.5 but I think a couple tiny changes could have made a big difference. Only having Ellen pov was an issue for me. I never understood why Hayes was into her (other than being a people pleaser) at the very end we get a bonus epilogue from him and the promise of a pov swapped prologue if we sing up for the newsletter (I didn't) but I suspect that that insight would have helped LOADS in understanding the story so it feels very odd that it's left as an after thought.

It's a cute story, and it's always nice to see different representation in romance. But with only Ellen's pov, her obsession with noting how giant Hayes is (and how it scares her for... much of the book) is off-putting. I also could have done without the harping on about waiting until marriage.

Also, the ebook opens on the content warning page. I generally don't like to read them as they color my view of the book and boy did they. Infantilism is noted, so I was primed and I had a hard time not seeing Hayes as the one doing it. He's constantly calling her adorable and cute with her eccentricities and even she asks if hes being condescending, he says no (of course) but I couldn't not read it that way. Again, even just a few chaps/scenes from his pov might have cleared this up, but without them it made it hard for me to root for him (and thus them).

I know that's a lot of complaining for a book I'm giving 4 stars, but it was a fun, sweet read if you shut your brain off, which generally is what I'm looking for. It's well written and I do love a character with a weird obsession.
