Book 66: Expiration Dates by Rebecca Searle

 I just finished Expiration Dates and I give it 💗💗💗💗.

I'm really not a romance reader, and I think it might be stretching to call it a romance, but I was charmed by this book and read it in a few hours. It's not great literature, but it is a very sweet story. The premise is: Production Assistant Daphne receives a slip of paper whenever she meets a potential boyfriend that has the boyfriend's name and the length of time that the relationship will last. So yeah, you kind of have to suspend belief from the git-go with this book. Anyway, we learn about a few of the 'short term' boyfriends and then Daphne meets Jake. Jake's note has no length of time on it--it's just blank. What does that mean? How does Daphne know if Jake is indeed the one? Daphne is a smart and enjoyable character, even when there is kind of a big swerve about two-thirds of the way through the book. Anyway, after so many police procedurals this was a great palate cleanser of a book.
