This was the perfect sequel to Neanderthal Seeks Human. It had all the answers, explanations, and the happy beginning of Quinn and Janie's future.

I loved this book. I wish there was a little more reminder of who the supporting characters were because it's been a long time since I read book 1. I love Janie as a heroine and Quinn is just as irresistible. The book is smart, it addresses practical issues of relationships and marriage, it tackles family problems and it has fun.
Could have done without the "slamp" which just seems like she doesn't want the guilt of saying slut outright.

Janie absolutely adores Quinn and is quite happy but after five months of dating she's not sure if she should say yes to his proposal after all they've only known each other during the good times and they've never had a bad time with each other.
So Janie proposes something she thinks will give them all the stress they need before they're married; to have a big wedding.
Sure it's manufactured stress but she figured it would be a good test for their relationship.

I didn't enjoy this one as much as I did the first one.
I couldn't put the first one down but this one I didn't feel that urge to continue at all.
I think in part because nothing really happened with the characters' characterization?
They're both pretty much the same(Janie still self-depreciating and uncertain and Quinn still private and feeling guilty) and the only the that really happened was the wedding prep.
I honestly wished I learned more about them but nothing new was revealed.
I think it would've been nice if there were more chapters in Quin's POV.
I was hoping that there would've been more to the small side plot with their families, it didn't feel like, to me at least, that things were resolved.
It was just kinda told to the reader that Janie/Quinn were done with the family side plot and they were moving on.
I just wanted more I guess.
I was a little startled when I got to the sex scenes because the last book was fade to black.
Also this book should be read after Book 2 of the Knitting in the City, because there's some extra info about Elizabeth's and Nico's romance that occurs in this novel so at times it felt as if I was missing something.
This is a nice fluffy read but not a lot of plot.

"The key is to find a relationship, a virus, that encourages you to be stronger, a better person, but also be able to show weakness without fear of exploitation- a relationship that challenges you, but also makes you happy and lifts you up."
A very cute book I liked even better than the first one. I loved Shelly breadcrumbs and ending was great.

Not a novella like I thought, but a full length book. I really need to read the description more thoroughly.
I enjoyed reading this book, although not as much as the first one. I understood the characters and why they acted the way they do, but I just wasn't into it. The wedding ended up beautiful and I'm glad we got to see more of the couple.
I feel like the second book will be a bit spoiled for me, since we know what happens with Elizabeth and Nico. I am still excited to see their journey, so I'll still read it :)

“I was surrounded by six of the great loves of my life. How one person could be so blessed, so lucky, so valued, so cherished was a great and beautiful mystery. But I didn’t question it. I just smiled, soaked up the moment, committed it and them to memory, and gave thanks for my fortune, recognizing it for what it was.
It was infinite.”
4.5/5 stars!
I have so much love for every single one of these characters and the relationships they have, platonic, romantic or otherwise!
This book just made me love them more and made me even more curious for other characters I haven't read from yet, especially Sandra (which, I've been mentionning since Neanderthal seeks human), Fiona and, newly, Kat&Dan!
I absolutely cannot wait to read the rest of this series'

This book was very cute, not as good as the first book, but the ending made me happy. Mainly about the process of them getting married.

Eeeeeek! By far one of my favorite series of all time! It was funny, witty, spunky and I learned a lot of random trivial facts that kept me throughly engaged! I was so glad we go to see a different side of Quinn and I more confident Janie! I will defiantly recommend and can't wait to see what the rest if he series has in store!!
