Book Review: It's Not PMS, It's You by Rich Amooi

Ruth “Ruthless” Harper is on the verge of becoming managing partner at her all-male consulting firm and she won’t let anything stand in her way. That includes men, relationships, and that dreaded F word, FEELINGS—distractions she eliminated long ago.

After the worst day ever (a near-death experience and a public wedgie, for starters), Ruth realizes she doesn’t want to live and die alone. She puts together a business plan to find the perfect man and dives head first into the murky online dating pool. All she wants is a high-powered executive who understands how important her career is. If only it were that easy.

Problem is most men are intimidated by Ruth’s confidence and shocked by her bluntness. The exception being her landscape designer, Nick, whose cool demeanor and unsolicited dating advice are driving her nuts. He’s the antithesis of the business-oriented man Ruth envisions for herself, so why do all signs keep pointing back to him?

A romantic comedy novel for the ages. Order now. Don't delay. Operators are standing by.

My Review:

This book kept me laughing from beginning to end. First, there’s the title. I think every woman in the Western world has experienced this feeling when dealing with somebody else’s crap. Ruth comes across as the world’s most driven, uptight b!tch, but through the course of the story we get to see the funny, vulnerable woman behind the corporate mask. Nick’s already been there and done that. He’s even got the health problems to prove it. Now, he’s more about being happy than how much money he can earn. When this pair of opposites butt heads, it’s a clash of the titans. It’s a sight to behold and you just want to sit back and marvel at the show. The sparks fly between Nick and Ruth from the first moment we meet them, even when they’re not on the page together. It was so much fun watching them go from adversarial to cuddled up in love. I can’t wait to see what the author brings us next. I received a complimentary copy of this book through Booksprout.
