What I'm Looking For

A Nostalgic Romantic Comedy (Boston Classics)

By: Karen Grey

Narrated by: Karen White, Joe Arden

The course of true love never did run smooth.

Like, for real, dude.

When a socially awkward finance-hotshot—aka me—grudgingly walks into Boston's famous Cheers bar to do happy hour with the insufferably misogynistic guys from work, I don't expect the cute bartender to salvage the rest of my never-ending workday with a cleverly disguised mocktail.

I especially don't expect him to talk Shakespeare to me.

Fate keeps bringing us together, just like the star-crossed couples in the plays Will loves to quote. But while the chemistry between us may be stronger than a stiff Cape Codder, it's clear that on paper, the math doesn't add up.

I can't help wondering if we're capable of an ending happier than Romeo and Juliet's. He's living in a dream world while my feet are planted firmly on the ground, and I can't risk my heart again on a guy who'll bail when the going gets rough.

Even if he does rescue me from a murderous juggling clown.

Fans of Lucy Score and Meghan Quinn will love this smart, feel-good, sweet-and-sexy romcom set in the late 1980’s—an era of big hair and bigger egos.

Great story about ordinary people’s struggles with love

Ordinary, maybe not but close. A woman works in a man’s world and a man who is a starving actor working at a local bar to pay bills. It took the book, a wedding with a missed opportunity because of work and Steve a work friend helping her to learn to talk to others, they come together and find love. Lots of emotions and cheers. The book ends wonderfully with a second book I hope to read at some point. Enjoyed on kindle and audible.
