ack and Charlotte had one perfect night six years ago on St. Patrick's Day where they both felt a connection. They stayed up all night talking, but by morning he was gone without a trace. Now, Jack is the man she compares all other dates to, the perfect man her friends jokingly refer to as the leprechaun. Ever since, her life is full of bad decisions and clumsy mistakes. After her boyfriend forces her out of her own apartment, she's had enough. She creates a dating profile called Message Me and Escape, asking for a Portuguese talking stranger to join her in a vacation to the Azores--no kissing, no romance, no sex.
But when she shows up at the airport, who should be there but Jack, who claims to have felt the same that night but gives no indication of why he left without a trace. The attraction is still there but how can she trust it's real if she's always afraid he'll disappear again?
I have to say, I loved the beginning of the story with all Charlotte's dating disasters, and the fun banter between Jack and Charlotte, but the middle of the book lagged for me with the same misunderstandings over and over where nothing much else is happening. Overall it was a cute and funny rom-com.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
