Delise Torres Why Delise loves this book

I really enjoyed the journey the protagonist went through - from having a set plan for her life at the beginning of the story to that plan being shattered in an instant and then, to trying to stay optimistic that this plan can still happen even though the odds are against her. What happens when everything you thought you knew about yourself gets taken away? How do you start over after life throws you a curveball? I was amazed by the amount of thought and research that the author put into this. It felt real and relatable. An inspirational read for anyone who's going through a hard time in their life.

I adored everything about this book. From the very original beginning all the way to the very satisfying end. I didn't want to stop reading and the book was so good I would happily reread it. The banter, the swoons, the everything. Cindy Stell is fabulous at writing romance.

Why should I read it?

2 authors picked The One with the Kiss Cam as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it.

What is this book about?

It was just one date.

My friend told me I needed more fun in my life, so I reluctantly said yes. Fun wasn’t exactly in my wheelhouse. After watching my own mother’s love life implode time and time again it’s only natural that I have a few rules to protect myself.

Actually, it’s just one rule…

Avoid relationships with men so I don’t get attached.

I wasn’t worried. Getting attached has never been a problem for me. This guy was just a warm body in a chair. I was here for the basketball game. I was absolutely NOT here for…
