[EBookObsessed]

Delightful and delicious. Never have bad dates been so much fun!

For Hazel, life is for living to its fullest but she also learned at an early age that not everyone likes or appreciates her level of zeal.  Hazel is just like her mother and Hazel's world tilted on it's axis the day her father told her mother to act like a normal person. It never stopped Hazel from doing things that she feels compelled to do or say, but since that moment, Hazel has tried to surround herself with people who -- okay, maybe they don't always appreciate her antics, but they accept Hazel the way she is.

Unfortunately, Hazel too has had her share of boyfriends who love her zaniness for awhile, but once they realize that Hazel never hides who she really is, they walk away from her.

When Hazel realized that her friend Emily's brother is Josh Im, the boy who Hazel always saw as perfect in college even after she puked on his shoes, she is determined that she and Josh will become BFFs. It is a good thing since Hazel's apartment becomes flooded and she needs to find a place to stay and Josh just happens to have an extra room...and a whole lot of patience. So in the next few weeks of living together Hazel gets her wish and she and Josh become the best of friends. So much so, that she convinces him that they need to double date in order to each find some romance.

But it seems that the more they double date, the more they realize that they are simply going out to spent more time with each other.

In this story, Hazel is the friend you have always wanted, the one who will drag you outside of your comfort zone kicking and screaming if necessary, but there is no way you won't have fun with Hazel leading the charge.

Hazel and Josh are absolute polar opposites but they fit perfectly together like puzzle pieces.  They make the perfect couple.  It is the fearless Hazel that hesitates to act on her growing attachment to Josh.   Hazel still sees Josh as the ideal man and her biggest fear is that someday he would look at  her like her father looked at her mother and it would break her.

Josh and Hazel's Guide to Not Dating is a sweet romance  and you have a delightful time experiencing  Hazel's quirky look at life.
