An enjoyable, breezy read with some thoughtful handling of modern-day relationships. I appreciated the very inclusive nature of this book. ( )

Corrine is grieving the loss of her best friend to cancer and is also adjusting to life in Chicago. The novel follows her journey to new friendships, a professional direction, and a new relationship. There's subtle element of fantasy - a phone app that is possibly an intervention from the other side by her lost best friend. I especially enjoyed the development of relationships that Corrine experiences as she opens up to what the world has to offer. ( )

I thought this was a charming, quick read. While, I did not find my husband or soul mate on a dating app; it is not totally unbelievable to imagine people finding their soul mates from a dating app as that is what the present times revolves around. No, I meant my husband the "old fashion" way...in a night club.

Therefore, the idea of a magical app just appearing on Corinne's phone was an intriguing concept. If this happened to me I would probably try it; especially in the fact that it is telling me that I might find my soul mate.

While, I did like this book and found it to me a quick read, I did find myself struggling to connect with any of Corinne's love interest. I honest can't remember their names of how Corinne meant them in her past relationships with them. This book reads is not a rom com, if you were thinking that. It is more contemporary romance. Overall, I found myself "liking" more than "loving" this book. Yet, I would read another book by this author. ( )

Review:
"Have We Met" by Camille Baker

My Opinion:

'Have We Met?' was an enjoyable romantic novel that took the reader through sadness, laughter, and friendship. The Met app [for dating advice] presented the story gave the readers a sweet read in the way it was relayed to Corinne [Cori]. Bringing her family and friends, especially Tiawanda [cousin], into the story will have the reader all caught up with twists and turns in this story as it refers to 'navigating life, love, careers, and friendships.' Will Corinne find someone from this app? How will the secondary characters play into all of what is going on? Will Corinne finally find a job that she likes to have a life of her own and not depend so much on her mom? How will things turn out as Cori shows some interest in Devin and then Cori? Will Cori be able to trust herself to love and accept it when it comes to her?

To get all of these questions answered and more... to understand all that goes in with this mysterious app that has appeared on Cori's phone, you will have to pick up "Have We Met?" to see how well this author brings it all out to the reader. ( )
