I received a copy of Kismetology by Jaimie Admans in exchange for an honest review.
Kismetology by Jaimie Admans starts off stating two truths: finding the perfect man isn’t easy and mother’s – you can’t live with them or without them. And it doesn’t take long for young Mackenzie Atkinson to prove them both. For as long as she can remember, Mackenzie’s mother has meddled in her love life … well, she has had enough. She decides to turn the tables and set her dear old mom up for once. It can’t be that hard, right? What ensues is absolute hilarity as Mackenzie realizes that part of the problem is that boys never seem to grow up. She is quickly faced by a wide array of interesting prospects but will any of them be a good match with her dear mom?
I absolutely loved this fresh take on a story that is often told. Who hasn’t dealt with a mom meddling in their love life? I know they mean well, but sometimes they take it too far and I absolutely loved the way that Jaimie handles their relationship. This story was heartwarming, charming and hilarious from the get go and I am so glad that I got a chance to read it. I also loved the way that Mackenzie started to really question her own relationship with her boyfriend. Overall, this book definitely brings witty romance to a new level and I really enjoyed it. A phenomenal debut! Plus, isn’t the cover to die for?
