For those of you who have seen the movie Isn’t This Romantic, this book will be right up your alley. When initially asked to read it, the cover made me think of Killer Klowns from Outer Space, with the sci-fi horror looking “edge”‘ to it. This book is anything but! Making fun of romantic comedy clichés, Attack of the Rom Com is a whole lot of fun and insanity. You won’t want to put it down as you “leap” from story to insane story. There were very few things Sophie Sweet believed in: a leather jacket could cure anything, Doritos Surprise is the best meal ever, any conflict can be resolved with good ol’ fashion violence; but “twuwuv”, yeah that wasn’t one of them! She wasn’t interest in finding her perfect match, her soulmate, her other half. All she wanted was to enjoy a fun night out with her best friend Jodie at the carnival and maybe get in a few good pokes messing with her favorite psychic. What she got was a pink abomination named Tiffani, insight she could live without, and the unrealistic promise that Jodie would find true love (at least it came with a money back guarantee!). Having had enough “fun” for one night, Sophie and Jodie pass out at their traditional sleepover, only for Sophie to wake up… in high school?! On the gym floor no less. Trying to determine what fresh torment she has been subjected to, Sophie quickly realizes she is being forced to relive her worst days but with a twist – the most popular guy in high school has asked her to the prom. Sick to her stomach, Sophie’s suddenly aware that a lot is starting to resemble… a romantic comedy! As if things couldn’t get any worse, her pinkish nightmare… i.e. Tiffani the sociopath (I mean psychic) is Tiffany the Guidance Counselor! Letting her in on what’s about to go down, Sophie – against her will, plays along (to an extent) in order to end this nightmare… only to awaken as a pretty pretty princess. Each time Sophie believes she has checked the boxes to escape her torturer, she is placed in a brand new scenario. As each scenario plays out, despite her best efforts, Sophie begins to face the demons she carefully avoided, breaking through the walls until she can finally see what, rather who, has been waiting for her on the other side. https://romcombc.com/book/attack-of-the-rom-com/
