Quarantine Crush by Bam Shepherd and Heather Hildenbrand



The new book by the authors of The Girl Who Cried Werewolf ,
a nice pick-me-up that will keep you laughing and reading and that will help pass the time
if you're still sheltering in place. Or any other time, actually.

Bam Shepherd and Heather Hildenbrand




You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.

The phrase on the side of Embry’s shot glass sounds like a sign from the universe. And when her friend, Hadley, forwards her a video of the latest internet craze – The Shoot Your Shot Challenge – she can no longer ignore the cosmic push. If the women on the FlipFlop app can grab life by the lady balls and kiss their best friends, so can Embry. But what’s a girl to do when her shot gets Knox-blocked?

Knox Jacobs thought nothing would be more awkward than shooting down his best friend. Then, the Coronach-20 pandemic hits, trapping him thousands of miles from home – with the woman whose heart he just broke. But as the hustle and bustle of everyday life slips away, he finds himself wondering if maybe he’s the one who blew his shot.

Shelter-in-place is one thing. Sheltering at her place is not exactly what he had in mind.


Review

I guess, most of us got a good dose of shelter life in the last months so...just imagine for a while that you have to shelter with the one person by whom you just got shot down after having been in love with him for ages? Yeah, that's what Embry thought when all this pandemic stuff went downhill pretty fast and she was left with Knox as the one to shelter in place with. I mean, not that he felt that much better, all things considered, but, yeah.

Sooo, with nice and very much interested neighbors around and far too much time to spare and too many days to stay at home and wait for the pandemic to pass, these two were in for an interesting time!

I laughed a lot and giggled and I may have rolled my eyes and on the whole I really enjpyed the book. For a while I thought that it might go in a direction that I didn't really like and that someone would be hurt but knowing these authors and their books, I should have known better. When things worked out the way they were meant to be and when sheltering in the wrong place suddenly turns into being in the best place possible, well...I really enjoyed reading this book and I hope that you'll enjoy it as much as I did.
