Just My Type

De: Falon Ballard

Narrado por: Tegan Ashton Cohan

To win the job of her dreams, a relationship-prone journalist needs to learn how to stay single in this heartwarming and hilarious new romantic comedy from the beloved author of Lease on Love.

Lana Parker is an expert girlfriend. After a disastrous breakup with her high school boyfriend, she's bounced from long-term relationship to long-term relationhip and even works as the dating and relationships columnist for one of Los Angeles's trendiest websites. But when Lana suddenly finds herself single, she's ready to take a break, both personally and professionally.

That is, until her high school ex, Seth Carson, takes an assignment at Lana's site. Having spent years traveling the world as a freelance journalist, Seth's finally ready to put down roots. Seth and Lana's chemistry is just as combative—and undeniable—as ever and quickly leads to a competition that could shape both of their careers. Pitted against each other by Lana's boss, they are each tasked with writing an article series that goes against their usual dating type: Lana needs to write about being single and staying single, while Seth must learn to settle down and become boyfriend material. Whoever's series is most popular wins a highly coveted dream job. But when the two square off, it's not only their careers on the line—it’s also their hearts.

BookBub’s 16 Feel-Good Romantic Comedies to Reach for This Winter

“Seth and Lana have instant chemistry on the page, and it’s a joy to read their snarky banter that transforms into something more heartfelt. Their longing for each other, and the obstacles in their way, feel realistic. Ballard also creates a warm and witty friend group for Lana that adds plenty of comic relief. A compulsively readable second-chance romance that’s full of pining and laughs.” –Kirkus Reviews

“This entertaining rom-com from Ballard…refreshingly sees both protagonists undergoing therapy for their respective issues while reassessing their personal and professional goals, is one of healing and emotional growth as much as romance.” –Publishers Weekly

“A clever, upbeat rom-com that will leave a smile on readers’ faces and joy in their hearts….A great showcase for Ballard’s talents: Her voice is fresh and flirty, her characters well developed (Lana’s unfailingly loyal, foulmouthed friend May is the kind of person we all need in our lives), and her pacing brisk and never boring. Romance readers—of all types—will be immensely entertained.” –BookPage

Make it a movie!!

This was an amazing book!! I am so obsessed with the enemies to lovers trope. Also, if they ever make this a movie I want Christine Baranski to be Lana’s mom!!

Best love story about finding yourself too!

One of the best books I read in a long time! Read this in one sitting!

Really liked it

Very fun. enjoyable. If you like the will they won’t they this is for you

Just okay for me ,3 stars

This book was just okay for me .I personally love a witty ,funny storyline with fun and interesting characters .I just didn’t feel like I got that type of listen .It was slow paced ,self reflective but it took a long time to get there and get the whole story .Dragged on too long for me .

If you haven't read this book, you ABSOLUTELY must! It's not a TBR, it's a TBB (To be binged!)

So, this had already been on my TBR - but it became part of an author challenge list for a con I am attending in June. And, can I just say, what a ride! I was yelling in my car at LP and at Seth, I was cheering them on, I was praying for my happy ending - and every plot twist/end scene that gutted me was glorious in its frustration. Because it made for SUCH A POWERFUL & FULFILLING BOOK! The MMC/MFC were so real, relatable, funny. The plot was like eating at a Michelin star restaurant - each chapter like the next course, leaving you relishing/anticipating the next chapter and fully sated at the end of the book.

I went so far as to buy a physical copy for my library to further support the author and hopefully get it signed at the con!

Thank you Falon Ballard, your next book Lease on love is on my TBB list and ordered from my local indie store! Your newest fan, Kimber

Wishy-Washy

It was a pathetic story of the two main characters going back-and-forth, ad nauseum. Really a stupid story!
