GRR Reviews Married This Year by Tracey Pedersen
Married This Year can be retitled "Jordan looking for love in all the wrong places", It's a charming and funny tale, but not outright rom-com (for that, I'd recommend OPERATION: DATE ESCAPE with a similar high concept).
Jordan Parker was sad at New Year's Eve. Her besties were getting married, and her date was a douche. In a bit of drunken stupor, she set her New Year goal to be finding the right man and marry him in the next 365 days. Unfortunately, Jordan just kept dating the wrong guys. A guy who loves nature hikes but considers wild berries a germ risk (You ate that? No way I'm kissing you!); a guy that's great in bed but is married with open relationship (Yes I share); a guy that can't stop talking about his ex (she was such a _____); and so much more. The only guy who was there constantly was her neighbor Luke, whom she considered off-limits, except he's so good with her dog...
It's both sad and funny at the same time, as Jordan was almost increasing desperate and kept attracting the wrong guys and resorting to blind Tinder dates and such. It's a fun read.
