Descripción editorial
A swoony, slow-burn rom-com, Melonie Johnson's Too Wrong to Be Right features a true romantic on a mission to find her happily ever after.
After her latest jerk of a boyfriend dumps her (and ditches her with his pet hedgehog), florist Kat Kowalski is done chasing after Mr. Wrong. With her two best friends moving on to more serious relationships, she’s ready to stop repeating the same mistakes that are leaving her stuck in the single lane. Armed with a list of qualities for her perfect Mr. Right, Kat swears off dating until she finds him.
Then in a meet-disaster involving a corpse and a salty cockatoo, she stumbles across Mick O’Sullivan at his family's funeral home. Their immediate chemistry warns Kat to keep things platonic; after all, following her heart never worked out in the past, and this time she’s determined to listen to her head. But can Kat and Mick be just friends? As she gets to know him better, the lines blur, and Kat starts to wonder if she’s gotten it wrong and Mick is exactly who she’s been looking for...
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Johnson (Too Good to Be Real) packs this will-they-won't-they romance between a florist and the owner of a funeral home with her signature wit and sexy banter. After florist Kat Kowalski gets dumped by her egotistical actor boyfriend—and stranded with his pet hedgehog—Kat officially swears off dating "Mr. Wrong" and compiles a list of traits meant to help her identify "Mr. Right" instead. She dismisses handsome, witty Mick O'Sullivan as the former after a meet cute disaster while she's dropping off flowers at his funeral home. Mick, however, is instantly smitten. A business arrangement between the O'Sullivan funeral parlor and Kat's flower shop keeps them in each other's orbits, but Kat refuses to go back on her resolution, friend-zoning Mick and pursuing his "solid" but stuck-up older brother, Joe. But how long can chemistry be denied? There's a bit of weirdness to this one, as Mick never comes across as a bad boy at all, making Kat's determination to avoid her attraction to him feel a bit unmotivated. Still, Johnson nails the pacing of Kat and Mick's relationship, which goes from lighthearted and fun to sensual and sweet. This slow-burning rom-com is a treat.
