My Half Night Stand was a fun quick read. And though not my favorite book by Christina Lauren, I still found myself captivated by the story nonetheless.

Through a few twists of events Millie and Reid end up being matched to each other, except Reid doesn’t know.

Some of the things I liked about this story was the friendships th ...more

This was my first Christina Lauren book, and I loved it so much I have read six others by this writing team since finishing My Favorite Half-Night Stand! It was compulsively readable (I read the entire 400 pages in one day, if that gives you any idea how serious I am on that point). The premise of the book was very fun, and the characters were so interesting and nuanced. I did see some kickback on one aspect of the plot (that it seemed to be a "catfishing" scheme), and while I agree that the bas ...more

I LOVED the premise of My Favorite Half-Night Stand. Millie, a criminology professor at UC Santa Barbara, and her four platonic male best friends and colleagues, need to find dates for an upcoming event. After a drunken “half-night stand” with Reid, Millie starts to question how platonic her feelings really are and agrees to join the boys in signing up for an online dating app. Unfortunately for Millie, she’s better at writing th ...more

I got to read an ARC of this book months ahead of its release and it was so good. This is a quintessential Christina Lauren rom-com.

This book dives into the world of online dating.

Reid wants to break through the wall but he seems at a loss. One night after a few drinks, Reid and Mlllie hook up.

They decide th ...more

I received a free review copy of My Favorite Half-Night Stand from Gallery Books in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this book. I thought it was funny and timely. I caught myself laughing out loud several times over the course of the book.

I fell in love with Reid and Millie. I was rooting for them. I even caught myself yelling at the book over some of their decisions a few times.

I loved all the pop culture references that Christina Lauren threw into the book. I like when I can relate to ...more

The dynamic duo does it again! Christina Lauren books have quickly become an auto-read for me and this was another win!

Millie is a guys-gal. She is a brilliant professor and surrounds herself with male colleagues, turn friends. Emotionally, however, she’s a closed book. When her group of friends make a pact to join an online dating site with a goal of parenting up in time for a big university event, will she be able to finally open up? Not before making a spectacular mess of things!

This book is ...more
