Romance Contemporary

THAT THING YOU DO is the perfect romance novel that is sure to leave you with a warm fuzzy feeling in your heart. I read this book in a matter of hours. It was exactly the kind of book I was looking for and ended up being so much more than I expected. The romance in this novel is unlike any other I have read in a while which is what had me reading page after to page to see how it ends. I really like that there is humor along with the romance in this book, and I feel that it helped to make the story seem real. The characters are genuine and could easily be someone you could be friends with in real life! Kayti McGee writes with such a loving hand and a warm heart that you can feel the love coming off the pages. She has put so much detail and care into creating the characters with depth and drama. I admit I enjoyed reading this book with all the tones of love, hope, second chances, friendships, and family. While this is a love story, it is different from your typical plot, making it one you will want to read again.

You will fall in love with Jon, a British DJ with a fun-loving side and a lot of patience. I enjoyed reading the things he says and all of his quick- witted comebacks. He is the perfect match for Greta. Together they make a lovely couple. There are many ups and downs along the way before they admit their feelings for each other. You will love reading about the journey they share along the path they take to find love. The secondary characters are just as charming and lovely. They help to complete the overall story.

The ending came as a surprise to me! I will not spoil it for you because you have to read THAT THING YOU DO for yourself to find out. Overall, I recommend this book for anyone who loves a fast-paced read, full of humor, love, and romance.

SUMMARY

Friends don’t let friends marry the wrong man. But where, oh where, is Mr. Right?

In high school, Greta Steinburg and her two BFFs made a pact: none of them would get married unless they all approved the man in question. Since then, Greta has had her fair share of romantic ups and downs—but now, after her latest failed relationship, she is done. Greta announces that her days of dating are officially over, and she’s kissed the idea of happily-ever-after goodbye. . .

Of course her friends will hear none of it. Instead, they insist that Greta go out with Jon, the hottest new DJ who just happened to be at her sister’s wedding. To get her friends off her back, Greta proposes that they pretend to date. The only problem is, for every fake date they have—from feeding angry rhinos to crashing a kiddie roller-skating party—Jon wants a real one. Each time they get together, their attraction grows. . .and soon there’s no turning back. Could it be that true love requires a leap of faith—and that Jon is the one Greta’s been waiting for all along?

Kayti McGee's That Thing You Do is a charmingly sexy novel about finding love in the least likely place.
