Overall Rating- 3
Cleanliness Rating- 3.5- for language (F-word included and some crude terminology) and some sexual content (nothing graphic or detailed)
Grace Fairley and Jimi Malik hated each other in high school until they spent a day together after graduation and ended up sleeping together. Thirteen years later, both Grace and Jimi are engaged to other people. Grace and Spencer, a divorce lawyer, have been engaged for two years and still haven't set a date, while Jimi has fallen hard for a pretty model, Kylie, and, to his friends' surprise, has decided to take the plunge. Grace runs into Jimi on the night of her thirty-first birthday and his bachelor party, and he gives her a lift home after she has a fight with Spencer. Then, after Grace gives Spencer an ultimatum about the wedding and Jimi is jilted by his young bride to be, Grace and Jimi begin to question their present relationships--and their feelings for each other.
I definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes their chick lit with more of a focus on romance. It has a great romantic payoff not only at the end, but throughout the story. It was a fun, fast- paced, easy reading book (just my type). It not only focuses on Grace and Jimi’s relationship, but there are 2 other supporting couples and we delve into their relationships as well. I didn’t care too much about the other supporting storylines, especially the one about Maggie. To be honest, I’m not sure why Maggie is even in the book. The storyline with Grace’s best friend, Rhiann and how she meets and ends up with her “soulmate” is a bit far fetched, but still sweet, none the less. Also, throughout the book, it keeps coming back to this radio talk show called “Do you Come Here Often” (hence the name of the book) and I just thought all of that was a bit cheesy. But, I really liked Grace and Jimi as the main characters. You get to know them and really end up rooting for them. Also, this book has lots of funny parts that had me laughing out loud. Overall, I really enjoyed reading it and will probably pick up a few more by this same author.
