Christina Lauren - My Favorite Half-Night Stand review

I couldn't read this book fast enough! I found myself grinning and full of ALL. THE. FEELS.  Millie was quirky and very interesting.  She was friends with a bunch of guys and they all hung out but no one was attracted to her.  Until Reid was.  Their half-night together was completely unexpected and out of the ordinary for them but the chemistry  between  them was combustible!  While they knew that couldn't happen again, they went the online dating route.  While Millie innocently created an account to try to be more herself without stating her name, she and Reid clicked online.  He had no idea it was her but she tried to tell him without telling him.  I was lost in this story and never wanted it to end! I enjoyed watching them move from friends to possibly more.  I found myself laughing out loud at times, cringing and then hoping!  I don't want to ruin this amazing story for you so I'll stop talking and just let you go ahead and one-click it.  Seriously. Don't miss this read! 

By the New York Times bestselling author who “hilariously depicts modern dating” (Us Weekly), My Favorite Half-Night Stand is a laugh-out-loud romp through online dating and its many, many fails.

Millie Morris has always been one of the guys. A UC Santa Barbara professor, she’s a female-serial-killer expert who’s quick with a deflection joke and terrible at getting personal. And she, just like her four best guy friends and fellow professors, is perma-single.

So when a routine university function turns into a black tie gala, Millie and her circle make a pact that they’ll join an online dating service to find plus-ones for the event. There’s only one hitch: after making the pact, Millie and one of the guys, Reid Campbell, secretly spend the sexiest half-night of their lives together, but mutually decide the friendship would be better off strictly platonic.

But online dating isn’t for the faint of heart. While the guys are inundated with quality matches and potential dates, Millie’s first profile attempt garners nothing but dick pics and creepers. Enter “Catherine”—Millie’s fictional profile persona, in whose make-believe shoes she can be more vulnerable than she’s ever been in person. Soon “Catherine” and Reid strike up a digital pen-pal-ship...but Millie can’t resist temptation in real life, either. Soon, Millie will have to face her worst fear—intimacy—or risk losing her best friend, forever.

Perfect for fans of Roxanne and She’s the Man, Christina Lauren’s latest romantic comedy is full of mistaken identities, hijinks, and a classic love story with a modern twist. Funny and fresh, you’ll want to swipe right on My Favorite Half-Night Stand.
