Plus, she’s 6 feet tall and not the smoothest talker out there. Kate’s a bit of an ugly duckling, with coke bottle glasses and boots with fruit on them and stubbly legs. We’ve got a story within a story, as we read both about Kate’s experiences as well as her writing process. Kate Bjorkman, aka Boo, is the author and narrator of this book, and she is hilarious. This book review was originally posted here on 12/3/12, but the book is absolutely adorable and so underrated that I had to share my review again! It’s everything I look for in a cozy Christmas read. This is the honest truth and I want truth even in romance. My life was one big conflict last Christmas. I also used stuff my English teacher taught me about writing. I wrote this romance novel about myself, using the Romance Writer’s Phrase Book.

But what do you do if you’ve lived a real romance with a great-looking guy (Richard) and he loves you as much as you love him? I know what I did. They’re full of three-paragraph kisses describing people’s tongues and spittle.
