What is “Some Kind of Blunderful About”?
Alex and Mia first met when they matched on a dating app and tried to meet at a park full of food trucks and thought the other had ghosted them when they couldn’t find each other. From there, things went downhill fast as Alex couldn’t seem to say the right thing and Mia’s nerves got the better of her.
To top it off, Mia learns the next day that the hot, albeit douchey, guy she’s just had a horrible date with was also her dad’s new, hot-shot boss. They don’t mention their date to her dad, thinking they’ll just forget about it and never really have to see each other again anyways. But they keep running into each other because their best friends are dating each other and Mia is fairly involved with her father’s workplace events – kind of weird for an adult child but Alex thinks so too. From an employee night at an NBA game featuring the infamous Kiss Cam to a community project day at a dog shelter, they can’t seem to stay away from each other. When they are forced to work together in an escape room with their best friends, Mia finds it difficult to forget how freakishly hot Alex is. Things finally heat up in the broom closet of a booze cruise and they decide to try to hide their “relationship” to avoid any further complications.
Introducing…. The Characters
Mia is a very sweet preschool teacher who values her family and friends above everything else. And her family is equally as protective as her – especially since she was left at the altar by her high school sweetheart just 6 months before she and Alex meet.
Alex’s family isn’t really in the picture and work has always been his first priority.
Final Thoughts of “Some Kind of Blunderful” by Livy Hart
This story is a great small-town romance – heartfelt and semi-steamy. My favorite part was the forbidden love trope – they have to hide their relationship because of Alex’s bad relationship with Mia’s dad.
There were a few things that could have used a little more attention at the end – Alex’s family drama as an example. And Mia isn’t my favorite of Livy Hart’s heroines. But overall this was a great cozy read and I’m excited to recommend this to anyone who have either read and enjoyed Livy Hart’s other books or are looking for a quick, gentle romance with just the right amount of spice to season any palette!
