How to Marry Keanu Reeves in 90 Days by K.M. Jackson

Hi everyone!  If you’re looking for an adventurous and funny novel to read this Fall look no further!  How To Marry Keanu Reeves in 90 days was highly entertaining. This is my first read by this author but will certainly not be my last.  This book publishes on November 2.

Publisher’s Notes:

Bethany Lu Carlisle is devastated when the tabloids report actor Keanu Reeves is about to tie the knot. What?! How could the world’s perfect boyfriend and forever bachelor, Keanu not realize that making a move like this could potentially be devastating to the equilibrium of…well…everything! Not to mention, he’s never come face to face with the person who could potentially be his true soulmate—her.
Desperate to convince Keanu to call off the wedding, Lu and her ride-or-die BFF Truman Erikson take a wild road trip to search for the elusive Keanu so that Lu can fulfill her dream of meeting her forever crush and confess her undying love. From New York to Los Angeles, Lu and True get into all sorts of sticky situations. Will Lu be able to find Keanu and convince him she’s the one for him? Or maybe she’ll discover true love has been by her side all along…

Book Review:

When I first read the publisher’s notes for this novel, I expected Bethany “Lu” to be a twenty-something woman chasing a celebrity.  But in actuality, Lu is in her forties.  There has been a significant loss in her life decades before, which has left an impact on her ability to maintain relationships with others.  The only exception to this seems to be her best friends Dawn and Tru whose she’s known since childhood.  The book is told from the dual narrative of Lu and Tru.

Lu’s character is well developed, likeable and very interesting.  As an up-and-coming artist, she’s received partnership offers that can be lucrative.  But this comes with conditions that Lu may not be willing to compromise on. Her relationship with Tru is based on a long-lasting friendship but is beginning to feel like something more.

I loved Tru’s character.  He is a few years younger than Lu but wants their relationship to be more than just friends.  He’s also concerned that if he acts on this that the relationship they currently have will be jeopardized.

When the two travel together to chase Lu’s dream of meeting Keanu Reeves, what results in a hilarious road trip full of adventure and sexual tension. But there is more to this adventure than I expected. The road trip was also an opportunity to heal the past and to move forward.

What I Liked:

• The dual perspective of both Lu and Tru
• The complex, deep relationship between Lu and Tru
• The use of humour in addition to more serious topics

I Recommend This Book To:

Those readers who enjoy romantic comedies with a deeper story.

My Rating:
