Josh + Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating by CHRISTINA LAUREN

Josh + Hazel’s
Guide to Not Dating

ON SALE SEPTEMBER 4, 2018

Most men can’t handle Hazel. With the energy of a toddler and the mouth of a sailor, they’re often too timid to recognize her heart of gold. JOSH AND HAZEL’S GUIDE TO NOT DATING tells the story of two people who are definitely not dating, no matter how often they end up in bed together.

Hazel Camille Bradford knows she’s a lot to take—and frankly, most men aren’t up to the challenge. If her army of pets and thrill for the absurd don’t send them running, her lack of filter means she’ll say exactly the wrong thing in a delicate moment. Their loss. She’s a good soul in search of honest fun.

Josh Im has known Hazel since college, where her zany playfulness proved completely incompatible with his mellow restraint. From the first night they met—when she gracelessly threw up on his shoes—to when she sent him an unintelligible email while in a post-surgical haze, Josh has always thought of Hazel more as a spectacle than a peer. But now, ten years later, after a cheating girlfriend has turned his life upside down, going out with Hazel is a breath of fresh air.

Not that Josh and Hazel date. At least, not each other. Because setting each other up on progressively terrible double blind dates means there’s nothing between them...right?

REVIEW(S)


4 STARS

Hazel Bradford is awkward, lacks a filter and really just wants to find her person. Josh Im first meets Hazel in college and their first few encounters definitely leave an impression on him. Several years in the future, they meet up again by happenstance. 

Josh discovers his long-term girlfriend has been cheating and wants nothing to do with dating again. Hazel and he devise a plan to set each other up on double blind dates and the mayhem that usually ensues from their plan is fun to read. Everyone around them can see what's happening, but they're both oblivious to what's right in front of them.

This was a fun, cute read. If you're looking for something fun and funny and mostly lighthearted, I believe this would fit the bill.
