GRR Reviews In Search of a Love Story (Love Story Boo by Rachel Schurig

In Search of Love Story is about searching for love, and finding where you didn't expect. But it seems to lack the certain spark that other stories have, like a series of bad dates, or oddball characters, or some such. instead, the schtick is "learn love through love-related media" (love songs, romance novels, etc.) And that somehow just didn't click at all.

Emily is doomed at love, according to her BFF's Ryan and Ashley, because she's completely a dullard when it comes to romance. When Emily's latest attempt crashed and burned, she accepted her BFF's plan to start a "romance research project" by studying romcoms, romance novels, love songs, and such. it couldn't hurt, right? When Emily found Greg, Ryan and Ashley were sure she found the one. So why is Elliot, a different friend, being a bit angry? is Greg really "the one"? Will Emily find her true love?

So we have a bit of unrequited love, two busybodies offering advice, and a bit of triangle, and a woman who's clueless. I'm not sure whether we're supposed to laugh or commiserate with her cluelessness. Neither seems appropriate.
