Review: Meet Cute - Helena Hunting - April 2019

Every now and again I need to get a break from reading one particular trope and I like my occasional light-hearted romance and Meet Cute by Helena Hunting looked like it could be a bit of a fun novel.

Now years later Kailyn is busy working in a law firm and trying to become partner when in walks Dax's parents with his sister Emmy.
