The one and only time she was naive enough to fall in love was with her high school boyfriend, Seth—who she ghosted on the eve of graduation and hasn’t seen in fifteen years.Seth Rubinstein believes in love, the grand, fated kind, despite his job as, well...one of Chicago’s most successful divorce attorneys. Over the last decade, he’s sought “the one” in countless bad dates and rushed relationships. He knows his soulmate is out there. But so far, no one can compare to Molly Marks, the first girl who broke his heart.When Molly’s friends drag her to Florida for their fifteenth high school reunion, it is poetic justice that she’s forced to sit with Seth. Too many martinis and a drunken hookup later, they decide to make a bet: whoever can predict the fate of five couples before the next reunion must declare that the other is right about true love. The catch? The fifth couple is the two of them.Molly assures Seth they are a tale of timeless heartbreak. Seth promises she’ll end up hopelessly in love with him. She thinks he’s delusional. He has five years to prove her wrong.Wickedly funny, sexy, and brimming with laughs and heart like the best romantic comedies, Just Some Stupid Love Story is for everyone who believes in soulmates—even if they would never admit it.

"Second chance spicy romance. Exes see each other again at their class reunion.Divorce attorney and screenwriter navigate their past and their present in this funny and sweet rom com."

"When we first meet Molly Marks it is the eve of her 15th class reunion. She's an unwilling drag-along of her best friend Dezzie and her husband Rob. Molly is a grumpy rom-com screenwriter who ironically does not believe in love. While at the reunion she runs into her high school boyfriend, Seth Rubinstein. Seth is still as handsome and charming as ever. After a few cocktails and conversation he seemingly forgives Molly for breaking his heart in high school. After spending much of the night bantering and a super casual hook-up the pair make a bet to decide which of them knows more about true love and soulmates. <br/><br/>What follows can only be described is the perfect recipe for one of Molly's famed scripts.<br/><br/>To say I enjoyed this is an understatement. I was hooked from the beginning. Molly drove me crazy second guessing herself and Seth endeared me with his optimistic outlook on life and love. <br/><br/>I definitely didn't get anything done today because I HAD to know how it would end.<br/><br/>Thank you very much to the publisher and Netgalley for a copy of this ARC in exchange for an honest review."

"Thank you to NetGalley and the author for the eARC.<br/><br/>3 Stars<br/>Cover 3 Stars<br/><br/>WWTQ: What is the human male version of a my little pony like?<br/>Answer: Manic serial killer<br/><br/>I gave up at the 85% mark. This just wasn't for me. <br/><br/>This is a grumpy/sunshine second chance romance, but the sunshine, the guy, Seth is plain manic. He's terrifying. No one that jolly isn't on tons of cocaine and pixie sticks. He gave me serial killer who plays with organs vibes. The grumpy woman, Molls is not OK. She needs her meds upped by kilos and probably enter an in patient program. There is no doubt in my mind that these two people are terrible for each other and the rest of humanity. <br/><br/>Outside of the cringey personalities of these characters the book also explores childhood trauma of two percenters in Florida. I'm not sure how relatable that is. I couldn't empathize with a whiny rich kid who couldn't live up to her parents' success. <br/><br/>That said it's well written and a relatively fast read, so the time spent with these people is minimal."
