I had NONE for The Hating Game, of course, so I sometimes wonder if that made me love it more. Kristen: Yeah, I had a hard time managing my expectations on this one. She’s going to make Tom Valeska 99 percent hers.ĭabney: There aren’t a lot of books as anticipated as this one and I think, for me, that was a bit of a problem. This time around, she’s switching things up. It turns out one percent of Tom’s heart might not be enough for Darcy anymore.

Soon sparks are flying-and it’s not the faulty wiring. She’s definitely not staying because of her new business partner’s tight t-shirts, or that perfect face that’s inspiring her to pick up her camera again. Suddenly Darcy’s considering sticking around to make sure her twin doesn’t ruin the cottage’s inherent magic with his penchant for grey and chrome. Darcy plans to be in an aisle seat halfway across the ocean as soon as the renovations start, but before she can cut and run, she finds a familiar face on her porch: house-flipper extraordinaire Tom’s arrived, he’s bearing power tools, and he’s single for the first time in almost a decade. When Darcy and Jamie inherit a tumble-down cottage from their grandmother, they’re left with strict instructions to bring it back to its former glory and sell the property. That’s the problem with finding her dream man at age eight and peaking in her photography career at age twenty-ever since, she’s had to learn to settle for good enough. Despite Darcy’s best efforts, Tom’s off limits and loyal to her brother, 99%. She’s travelled the world, and can categorically say that no one measures up to Tom Valeska, whose only flaw is that Darcy’s twin brother Jamie saw him first and claimed him forever as his best friend. Darcy Barrett has undertaken a global survey of men.
