My Very '90s Romance

A Novel

De: Jenny Colgan

Narrado por: Lucy Price-Lewis

From New York Times bestselling author Jenny Colgan comes a hilarious romantic comedy about a down-on-her-luck florist whose future begins to bloom when she takes on the challenge of helping to transform her nerdy roommate.

Holly is a frustrated florist whose life doesn’t seem to be coming up roses. Fleeing a roommate situation from hell, she moves in with a motley crew of friends—Josh, a sexually confused merchant banker; Kate, a high-flying legal eagle with talons to match; and Addison, a gorgeous computer geek who spends his days communicating with his online girlfriend and anyone who worships at the altar of Jean-Luc Picard. From the moment Holly catches a rare glimpse of Addison, she’s smitten. The only problem is how to get him to swivel his chair from the computer screen to her adoring gaze.

After a series of false starts—involving a new friend and mathematician, Finn—Holly coaxes Addison away from his computer screen and out into the open. While “out in the open” spells disaster for Addison, curiously, her own future begins to bloom. Holly and her friends make desperate attempts to connect with Addison, drag him away from his fiercely possessive girlfriend, Claudia, and get him to communicate with the real world.

With Jenny Colgan’s trademark wit and a cast of unforgettable characters, My Very '90s Romance will capture your heart.

I love Lucy Price-Lewis!

Lucy Price-Lewis always brings the characters and story to life. One of my favorite narrators..

Unlikable Main Character

The characters in this book are shallow and not well developed. I usually love Jenny Colgan, but this one didn't draw me in.

I really wanted to like this book

There was so much to like about this book, but the brutal slamming of a woman due to her weight really tanked it for me. By the time we find out later that she's rather rude, I'm already so annoyed with the main character's flawed mentality that I couldn't cheer anyone on other than the two flatmates. It really was a bummer because with some different wording, it could have been a winner. The main character would still be shallow, but not as easy to dislike INTENSELY. Not giving up on the author though. She does have some great ones out there.

Fantastic

Excellent characters. Great story. Excellent performance. Amazing use of slag. Really made me laugh. I enjoyed it tremendously.

Not my favorite

This book is well written, the story and theme were just a bit young for me. Love Colgan’s work though.
