Besides aspiring to use my wit and, yes, sometimes sarcastic comments to write comedy gold, I am a proud pet parent to two awesomely neurotic dogs, a book nerd, and my parents' favorite child (just don't tell my brother that). You can check out my book, "A Story of Like: A Decidedly Unromantic Romance Novel", on both Amazon and Nook (please and thank you).

Addison Anderson comes from a family of AA’s. Her parents have a penchant for alliteration that accompanies a welcome sense of fun and loyalty. When Addy considers the warmth that surrounds her siblings, nieces, and nephews, she realizes that it is time for her to join the ranks of happily ever after. In order to accomplish the task, though, she needs a plus one. Traditional match-making not a convenient option, Addy enrolls in a speed dating function that reminds her why she is single. The hotties are shallow, the high achievers are arrogant, and the losers are, well, losers. Addy has decided to renege on love and engage in a friends-only relationship when she meets Charlie. Charlie is just a regular guy. He is sarcastic, witty, an interesting conversationalist who is as “Addy” as he can be. While her friends and family insist on interrogating her about the intensity of her relationship, Addy just wants to enjoy the comfort of having Charlie as a friend. It is so much easier being in like than in love.
Courtney Clark has perfectly characterized the foundation of a perfect relationship in A Story of Like: A Decidedly Unromantic Romance Novel. The continuous humor of Addy’s witticisms and Charlie’s complementary rebuttals keep the story line moving. When Addy’s Kitler (her cat with an eerie resemblance to Adolf Hitler) chooses Charlie’s company over hers, there is no turning back. It doesn’t hurt that Lola (Addy’s Superdog with a passion for wearing an old Halloween costume cape) adores Charlie as well. This is a fun, fun story! And a pretty cool romance. May be "like" is more important than "love." I loved this story. It is a good reminder of what is really important in a relationship.
