4 stars

Anybody But Him is a cute, sassy, funny romantic comedy. It started out a little quirky and confusing, but midway through I was hooked on the story of Nicola being back in her small hometown. The characters, plot and dialogue were believable and well-written. The only idea I thought might have been farfetched was the initial meeting between the Nicola and Blair. Once they met, their interactions were natural and fun.

I was satisfied with the predictable happy ending – I like a happily ever after in romcoms and chick lit.

This novella struck me as a streamlined, briefer Jill Mansell-type story. I totally enjoyed it and will read more by Baxter.

My favorite detail in the book was the dog’s name. Quite clever.

This ARC was given to me in exchange for a fair and honest review.
