When Noah Wilson first encounters the quirky, opinionated and very beautiful Angel Fallon, his world is turned upside down. It’s clear she’s not his normal type, but Noah can’t stop thinking about her—which doesn’t bode well for the blind date he’s already late for.

Convinced by his friend (and self-professed dating expert) Marlon that thirteen dates is all you need to fall in love, Noah decides to give it a try with Angel. They should be incompatible: she’s impulsive and he’s a planner; he wants to settle down and she doesn’t ‘do� relationships—or anything, for that matter—the way Noah is used to. But there’s something about Angel, and Noah can’t shake the idea that all they need is twelve more dates.

Despite some near-disasters involving rock climbing, saddle sores and jellied eels, it seems his plan may actually work. But even if they do reach the magic number, can that really mean they’ll just fall into their happily-ever-after?

Chapter 7: (view spoiler)[I don't know how I feel about Noah and Angel right now. I like that she doesn't sugar coat shit to him though and definitely calls him out on his bullshit. I'm happy she showed up to the art show.. but it kind of feels like he's desperate for her attention which is a complete turn off - in my opinion.. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 14: (view spoiler)[lol these waiters are so rude it's not even funny. Although if this place only has two kinds of options for burgers I could see why they could be a little annoyed. HOWEVER, what restaurant only has two fucking options for burgers? Lame ones. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 21: (view spoiler)[I laughed when he was answering the questions.. with a question. Oh lord, these two. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 28: (view spoiler)[Yikes, nick's death was rather sudden. (hide spoiler)]
Finished: (view spoiler)[Okay these two definitely grew on me. I'm happy that they got their own little happy ending and that they are keeping the baby. (hide spoiler)]

I was just thinking I wanted to find another book that was narrated by the same guy that did Crimes Against Magic, and here one is. I like his voice, though Noah's character is the exact opposite of Nate's that it takes a bit of concentration on my part.

Ch 7 - (view spoiler)[ Well, she wanted someone to put a little effort into getting to know her, and he certainly has put some effort into tracking her down. I worry that he is a little too shy to see anything through though. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 14 - Ha! there are actually a bunch of places around here with extremely limited menu options; it's surprisingly not a horrible business plan, though I agree that friendly waitstaff is a must. (view spoiler)[ I just can't understand how she claims she wants to "live" but is so reluctant to try to enjoy a relationship with someone - seems like loving someone would be living to the fullest. (hide spoiler)]
Ch 21 - (view spoiler)[ Do people in Britain really have to go through separate interviews like that to get married? Seems like if they are both citizens, what is the problem? (hide spoiler)]
Ch 23 - (view spoiler)[ I think Noah made a pretty good argument for why she should at least consider the operation. I almost teared up when he said he was afraid of not having her as a part of him. I hope they work it out. (hide spoiler)]

Finished - (view spoiler)[ Ugh, I was so happy when she finally agreed to the procedure that when she couldn't get it, I was actually disappointed despite the happy reason.

This book was not as advertised. I thought it was going to be a funny book about 13 disastrous dates, but it was heavier than that with only a sprinkling of humor. I still liked it, but because it didn't meet my expectations, I can't help but be disappointed - ya know? (hide spoiler)]
