Romance book blogger Vivian Galdi is a girl on a mission: the Replacement Crush Mission. After Jake the Snake pretends their secret summer kissing sessions never happened, Vivian creates a list of safe crush targets, determined to avoid anyone who pings her zing meter. But nerd-hot Dallas, the new guy in town, sends the mission and Vivian's zing meter into chaos. While designing software for the bookstore where Vivian works, Dallas wages a counter mission, analysing his target and taking advantage of the tactical errors in her strategy. Does Dallas just like a good game of Replacement Crush Battlefield, or is he on his own mission to prove to Vivian that true love can't be strategized? And how much collateral damage can they both sustain during the heat of battle?
I REALLY REALLY liked this book!! More like 4.5 stars, but rating it with a 5 would have been too much. Great, flawed main character and stubborn, cute male love interest made a great romance. I got sucked into it and felt along with Vivian and her quest to logical love. Loved that her mother owned a bookstore and together with the reviews and book club it made a cool addition to this novel. Cute, nerdy and very lovable story. You should read it.
