“I realize that finding the perfect person isn’t going to be easy for me because I’m a lot to take,” she says, “but I’m not going to change just so that I’m more datable.”įast forward years after college and Hazel becomes besties with a girl named Emily. When she meets Josh Im in college, she's got a bit of a crush, but Josh seems to be right there in the middle of all her embarrassing moments. She's fun, loud, a little crazy and a lot of amazing. She knows she can be a lot to take, she gets it. Hazel Bradford is a bit of a weirdo, and I mean that in the best way possible. It's one of the best friends to lovers story I've ever read and I loved it so much!! I have no doubt it will be one of my favorite reads of 2018. Josh and Hazel's Guide to Not Dating is the epitome of opposites attract. There wasn't one thing I didn't love about it.

(Sept.I've read several of Christina Lauren books and I can say with the utmost confidence that this is their best book to date. Though the novel is predictable at times and full of convenient mishaps that throw the pair together, Lauren ( Roomies) finds the perfect balance between charming moments and sultry episodes.

Hazel is wild and unapologetic, and her yearning for love and family is perfectly blended with her refusal to settle for anyone who doesn’t appreciate her quirks. When it turns out Josh’s girlfriend has been cheating on him, Hazel and Josh begin setting each other up on disastrous blind double-dates as an excuse to spend time together.

After a series of embarrassing encounters in college, Hazel is certain that she has proven to Josh that she’s completely undatable, but, when they meet again seven years later, she hopes they can be friends. Hazel, extremely eccentric and lacking any filter, has more in common with the third graders she teaches than the exquisite genius Josh, a successful physical therapist. In Lauren’s hilarious standalone, hot mess Hazel Bradford and blueprint-perfect Josh Im are definitely, indisputably not dating.
