Is She The One‪?‬

Is She The One is a love story that takes place in 2011. It involves a hapless real estate agent (Bob) who falls for a strong, beautiful mysterious woman named Sofie who he later learns is really named Roxanne. Instead of being angry about being lied to, Bob finds a woman lying to him a breath of fresh air. The narrator Bob takes us through this tale of romance with humor and straightforwardness. Earnestly wanting to find a life partner and not just another "crummy one night stand" Bob creates his 4 rules for dating. Here’s an example of one such rule: “My heart had been broken too many times by women with blonde hair, so I felt certain hair color had something to do with it. Since Goldilocks had slept in every bed, I figured the moral of the story was to only date brunettes.” When Bob meets the beautiful, mysterious, take-no-crap Roxanne, and the romance heats up in this book, the love story from the male point of view becomes charming and endearing. Warning: there are times in the book, when Bob shows himself to be a selfish pig but realize too, he is in the process of sorting himself out and figuring out his own character flaws (such as selfishness). There is a nice humorous realistic process behind how Bob figures out things on his own and thus his character changes from beginning to the end. The ending can be seen a mile away but this is a quick enjoyable read with an ending that most rom com fans will love.
