Summary
(From Goodreads)
In this #funny, #wise, #emotionally compelling look at modern love and finding your true path, a proudly kid-free influencer meets the ultimate #dealbreaker . . .
It’s the influencer’s golden rule: know your niche. Kit Kidding has found hers on Instagram, where she gets paid to promote brands and share expertly curated posts about her fun, fabulous, child-free life. Kit likes kids just fine, but she passionately believes that women who choose not to become mothers shouldn’t have to face guilt. Or judgement. Or really hot chefs who turn out to be single dads.
Will MacGregor is aggravating, sexy, persistent, averse to social media, and definitely a bad idea. As soon as Kit learns his parenting status, she vows to put their scorching one-night stand behind her and move on. But Will and Kit are thrown together on an Instagram campaign, and the more time she spends with him—and his whip-smart, eight-year-old daughter, Addie—the more difficult it is to stay away, much less sustain what Will so cleverly calls her “Resting Beach Face.” Kit’s picture-perfect career path is suddenly clashing with the possibility of a different future—messy, complicated, and real. Which life does she truly want? Will she have to re-invent herself? And will love still be waiting by the time she figures it out?
Thoughts
Although slightly predictable, this book is the best summer read if you’re craving a sweet, romantic story with social media on the side. Kit Kidding, a popular influencer, has built her brand on choosing the kid-free life. But when she meets Will, who has a daughter, Kit is thrown for a loop and really has to step back and evaluate for herself if she can go forward with the relationship or not.
I love Chantel’s writing style. It really draws you into the story and you get invested really fast into the lives of these characters. I enjoyed the banter between Kit and Will, and the plot moved at a great pace. You’ll definitely be finishing this book with a new perspective on social media for sure – and also a better look at how curated an influencer’s feed can really be.
Emotional, heart-warming, and full of all the lifestyle influencer content you didn’t know you needed, this book is perfect for those who need a great beach read, or a quick escape.
