I'm So (Not) Over You

by Kosoko Jackson

[The Romantic Comedy Book Club]

First, I have to say I had the chance to send a message to the author for a clarifying question on the story. Not only did Kosoko answer it directly but was SO sweet about it and even went into detail so I completely understood what happened.

Now onto the book itself. This was a fake relationship, second chance type of romantic comedy. It starts with Kian healing from a broken heart and attempting to move on ONLY to have his ex (Hudson) come back in and ask for a favor: pretend to be his boyfriend for one night while his parents are in town (all of this is on the back cover so not a spoiler).

Kian is an aspiring investing journalist and LIVES in his head (and I don’t mean a quick internal struggle before making a decision). His mind doesn’t settle for the easy answer, the obvious answer, the direct less complicated answer – he believes there always has to be more. You start to notice this when you find yourself reading 6-10 pages of internal monologue before he can answer a simple question. I, personally, found this insanely tedious at times BUT you are warned early on that that is how Kian is (and throughout the story you observe how he finally learns that way of thinking/processing information can do more harm than good).

As always, on the spicy factor – this book is definitely WOW (and I mean HOT) in terms of the steamy scenes (and the build up moments aren’t too bad either).

Definitely enjoyed Kosoko’s first adult romantic comedy and can’t wait to see what he writes next.
