This book was not very good in my opinion. I give this book a 1-star rating because this book was very confusing and it has confusing chapters and it goes back and forth and I got really confused. This book is about how a man got the girl of his dreams according to the back but when I read it I was confused. It's also a memoir, which means that it tells about a person. I believe that this book could have been better.

Terrible. I would not recommend to anyone. One of the worst books I read in my life. If you read this good luck.

I really didn't like this book because it is a love book and it has too many smooch smooch events that I HATE.
I only read this because I needed it for a challenge. To read a book with love in the title. The only part I liked about this book is the brownie eating challenge. I only liked that part because I like brownies. Nothing else. This book is about how Lia and Ned are best friends that have came very close in life. Ned gets the girl of his dreams in some spectacular ways. Although they went through some stuff, they figured it out and worked together. This book is mainly Ned Erickson is a walking disaster. Before they start dating, his future wife can't stand him. He flubs one Valentine's Day after another. He loses his wedding ring.

I enjoyed this book full of wholesome and honest stories about Ned and his wife in their first 5 years of marriage. I think it gave simple but profound truths about love both on the cosmic scale of God and on the smaller scale of romance and marriage. Ned’s voice and style of writing also gave me a good laugh!

Absolutely loved this book! I joke that I've learned more about girls reading this book than in 25 years of life experience, but there is truth in that. I feel like I know Ned know on a much more personal level and have somewhat of an idea (albeit an outsider's perspective) of what the married life is like! It made me cry, laugh, and cheer and is one of the greatest love stories I've ever read.

This was a good cutesy book. Nothing super deep but it was easy to relate to!
