[book-info]
From The Publisher:
International bestseller Mhairi McFarlane delivers a sharp, emotional new novel about a woman who calls off her engagement to the perfect man and moves in with a charming stranger who makes her question everything about her life, her past, and the secrets she’s kept for far too long…
Harriet Hatley is the most in-demand wedding photographer in town, but she doesn’t believe in romance, loathes the idea of marriage, and thinks chocolate fountains are an abomination. Which is why, when her long-time partner proposes, she panics. Suddenly Harriet is single… and living down the hall from her ex. She needs a new apartment, like, yesterday.
Enter Cal Clarke, a hopeless romantic who just experienced his own wedding-related disaster. Harriet and Cal are like chalk and cheese, but as they go from strangers to roommates to friends, it becomes clear they’re both running from something. When Harriet’s most heavily guarded secret comes to light, her world implodes. And Cal, with his witty humor and gentle advice, is a surprising source of calm at the center of the storm.
With her career, friendships, and reputation on the line, Harriet must finally face her past in order to take control of her future. Because if she’s willing to stop playing it safe and risk everything to share her truth, real love and happiness may be waiting on the other side…
Why I’m Excited to Read Mad About You:
I really enjoyed the author’s book If I Never Met You and the synopsis for this book sounds like it will be a fun read. I love that Harriet is a wedding photographer who doesn’t believe in romance! This book currently has a 4.09 rating on Goodreads with over 3700 reviews.

Mad about you sounds like an exciting read, and it’s always interesting when the main characters are like ‘chalk and cheese’, as it’s entertaining to see how the friendship develops. Plus, I love a character with a witty sense of humour.
