Synopsis:
Tessa has her future planned to perfection. First get into medical school and become a doctor like everyone else in her family-despite her queasiness around blood. Second meet and marry someone who is just as successful as her brother-the new, handsome doctor in her ward will be just right. And last, prove to her brother that, despite what he thinks, she has it all together. Easy right? Except that she's just been called to be the ward road show director for the upcoming stake singles activity, a distraction she doesn't need. And when a mix-up means that she's partnered with her bug-eating, seventies dressing home teacher? It's a disaster with a capital D, and she knows that no one in her family can ever find out about this.
As a PhD student studying insects, Henry White has had his fair share of girls try to change him into someone more socially acceptable-including his ex-fiancé. When his sister convinces him to join the singles ward for his last year of school, he decided to play up his oddness in order to keep the singles at a distance. When he begins to work with Tessa on the road show, he finds that she's managed to get past his defenses. One little stage kiss is all it takes to make him question everything. But then his ex-fiancé comes home from her mission with one goal in mind: win Henry back, no matter what it takes.
Tessa is soon faced with a choice. Go for the perfect life she's always pushed herself to have, or find the courage to look past appearances and figure out what she really wants.
Review:
This is such a cute book. I loved this unique and sweet storyline. I love that it is very much a fictional book centered around a singles ward in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I laughed out loud at some of the singles ward situations and the way the girls acted because it is all so true. I think there are many people who can relate in some way to Tessa and the desire to not disappoint their family. I love how she learns, with a little help from nerdy Henry, that she needs to make decisions for her and that when she finally does she is much happier. I loved bug eating Henry... he is such a gentleman, a good friend and I loved his goofy character. Tessa and Henry have a great connection that develops through out the book. Their chemistry is amazing and when one little kiss happens oh boy the sparks start a flyin'. This is very well written and pulls you in from page one. I can't wait to read more from this author.
