Summary
As a devotee of classic novels, Mary Porter-Malcolm is a walking encyclopedia of Mistakes That Have
Been Made, especially by her favorite literary heroines. So when some new friends seem in danger of
falling for the same tricks employed since the days of Austen and Tolstoy, Mary starts compiling the Scoundrel
Survival Guide, using archetypes of literature’s debonair bad boys to spot red flags in the dating department.
But despite her best efforts, she soon finds herself falling for a supposed cad—the same one she warned
her friends away from. Without a convenient rain-swept moor to flee to, Mary is forced to admit that real life
doesn’t follow the same rules as fiction and if she wants a happy ending, she’s going to have to ditch the books
and write it herself.

I got this one with the VIP selection and didn't think I'd like that much but I did. it was a nice surprise, easy to listen to. Of course you know how it will end from the start and there are some clichés but I had a good time with it. I like the narrator too.

saccharine not sugar sweet incorporating that many famous works felt forced "diversity" of characters felt forced, and story is centered on highly educated white girl. narrator's accent for Latina character no bueno. but i had to keep listening to learn who the totally spontaneous gay plot twist would be about

The love interest and the friends are the best part about the book.
