The Bodyguard

I loved Katherine Center's books Things You Save in a Fire and What You Wish For, which I would call a blend of women's fiction and romance, so when I saw she was coming out with a romcom, I was super-excited. I subscribe to Katherine's socials, and I kept hearing her say this book was going to be fun—which hey, I love fun—but I worried a romcom meant she'd drop some of her deeper life questions/life is beautiful/goodness matters stuff that laced her women's fiction themes. Good news! She didn't! Why can't more romcom's be like The Bodyguard? I did not want this book to end. Waiting for her next book to come out will be torturous!
I loved the distinct voice Katherine formed in this novel. It was sharp, pithy and FUNNY! I felt like it took bravery for her to write this book, because it's quite distinct from other romcoms I've read, but it worked. It totally fits the genre. While fake dating tropes are quite fun, I thought the premise of The Bodyguard was one of the cleverest I've come across. The rest of the book didn't disappoint. My favourite romcom of the year, if not ever!
