I am delighted to be on the tour for Portia Macintosh's latest romcom, The Meet Cute Method. It was published by Boldwood Books on 4th May. Do movie romances ever happen in real life...?
Frankie doesn't believe in true love. As relationships
expert at popular magazine Stylife, she has learnt that dating disasters are
far more common than happy ever afters.
So when she is tasked to find out if meet cutes can work in
real life she is up for the challenge - but whether it's being a damsel in
distress with a flat tyre, or spilling coffee over a stranger, she isn't
convinced this can really lead to love.
But little does Frankie know that the ultimate meet cute
opportunity is just around the corner. As she is whisked off her feet (all in
the name of her work project of course...) perhaps true love isn't just for the
movies after all...?
My Thoughts
This is a fun read with some light-hearted moments and amusing characters. Tasked to write articles about he attempts at meeting Mr Right, Frankie uses any opportunity to try out some possible meet cute opportunities. You escape with Frankie to Hawaii as part of her writing assignment and meets up with some interesting characters. Frankie likes to embrace her quirky side and knows how she feels comfortable to dress. At times, she has to suppress it and she realises that this is not the way to happiness.
Any fan of romcoms will recognise the situations which Frankie gets into. It develops into a fake dating trope and by the end you are really rooting for Frankie and hoping that she gets her heart's desire. With some exotic locations, the millionaire lifestyle and a peep into how the rich live, this is an entertaining romcom, just right got the summer.
In short: fake dating and romcom tropes
