| How far would you go to find the perfect husband? All the way back to the 1950s?
 In a world full of happily-ever-after love, Meri Newberg feels like the 
last young woman on the planet to be single, at least in her Christian 
friend group. So when she's handed a strange present at the latest 
wedding--a 1950s magazine article of "ways to get a husband"--she 
decides there's nothing to lose by trying out its advice. After all, she
 can't get any more single, can she?
 
 Her brother's roommate sees the whole thing as a great opportunity. Not 
to fall in love--Kai Kamaka has no interest in the effort a serious 
relationship takes. No, this is a career jump start. He talks Meri into 
letting him film every silly husband-catching attempt for a new online 
show. If it goes viral, his career as a cameraman will be made.
 
 When Meri Me debuts, it's an instant hit. People love watching 
her lasso men on street corners, drop handkerchiefs for unsuspecting 
potential beaus, and otherwise embarrass herself in pursuit of true 
love. But the longer this game goes on, the less sure Kai is that he 
wants Meri to snag anyone but him. The only problem is that he may not 
be the kind of husband material she's looking for . . .
 
 With droll comic timing, unbeatable chemistry, and a zany but relatable 
cast of characters, Angela Ruth Strong has created a heartfelt look at 
the reality of modern Christian dating that readers will both resonate 
with and fall for.
 
 My review:  This story was so funny, sweet and romantic!  I loved the premise and couldn't wait to read it and it did not disappoint!  I loved Kai and Meri; they were adventurous and witty and never boring.  It was also great to see both Kai and Meri grow in their faith and just as people as they tried to discern if what they wanted was what God wanted for them.  I loved the funny scenarios and there were some great romantic moments.  There was also some great advice for singles!  I will definitely be looking for more books by this author.  I highly recommend it! I received this book free from Read with Audra.  I was not compensated for this review.  All opinions are my own.
