One-Star Romance

"Praise for One-Star Romance “Hankin performs a magic trick with this book, turning the most unlikeable (and relatable) of characters into flawed protagonists worth rooting for. Natalie and Rob are the definition of “right person, wrong time,” and because the story spans multiple years, we get the pleasure of seeing them make mistakes, grow up and grow together. It’s real, refreshing and romantic.” —The Washington Post “One-Star Romance will go down in history as the most ironically named novel ever. I give five giant stars to this funny, twisty and emotionally authentic story of true love and long friendship. I absolutely adored it.” —Annabel Monaghan, bestselling author of Same Time Next Summer “Laura Hankin takes a nightmare premise for any writer—the dreaded one-star review—and with her signature charm and humor weaves it into a perfect dream.” —Steven Rowley, New York Times bestselling author of The Celebrants “ALL OF THE STARS! Is it mean to take so much pleasure in two characters bumbling their way through life? If so, call me a monster because I fell HARD for Natalie and Rob. These two imperfect humans trying (and often failing) to figure out this whole adulting thing felt so real and relatable. Flat-out fun, laugh out loud funny, and voicey as hell, this is the book I will be shoving into friends’ hands this summer and demanding they fall in love with these characters, too!” —Becca Freeman, author of The Christmas Orphans Club ""Fans of not only romance but women’s fiction as well will enjoy this multilayered, realistic novel from Hankin."" —Library Journal Praise for Laura Hankin “Smart and witty.” —Woman’s Day “Wickedly smart.” —PopSugar “Outrageously entertaining.” —The Nerd Daily “Absorbing.” —OK!
