Have you ever hit rock bottom?

I embarrassingly have.

It’s why I’m wearing my girl's decorative scarf over my head, clutching her lady drink to my chest, and singing ever so softly to Joni Mitchell while swaying back and forth.

This is what therapists refer to as LOSING IT.

Oldest story in the book: boy meets girl, boy falls for girl, boy screws up MASSIVELY, girl tells boy to suffocate in the fruits of his very own unborn children.

Heard it before? I'm sure you have.

So what's so different about this story? Well, it's about me, The Modern Gentleman, New York City's top advice columnist, and my

rather ungraceful downfall from my pristinely polished pedestal.

It's about a girl I met who threw all my proven theories to the wind and left me awkward, needy, and absolutely head-over-wingtipped shoes in love.

This is a story about June Lacy and how she single-handedly dismantled The Modern Gentleman.

Romantic Comedy

The Modern Gentleman was an absolute surprise from Meghan Quinn, and I am so thankful that she has given us this book in these trying times because I REALLY needed the laugh. As with many of her romcoms readers can be sure that they will laugh out loud more time than they can count while still swooning for the characters who easily make their way into our hearts. June and Wes were fantastic together and watching him woo her was hilarious! These two truly couldn’t be more opposite from each other but they fit together like a pair of gloves! I loved them to pieces.

Now, there is a little white lie that takes place in the book that certainly stirs up trouble, but for the sake of excitement and intrigue, it works! Meghan writes Wes as a relatable character and while his judgement on certain topics is a little iffy, it was wonderful to watch him grow. June, she’s a spitfire! Most of the book (90% of it) is in Wes’s POV, but seeing a little of Junes really added to the story. I was worried at first because writing ONLY a male POV can sometimes hurt connections with the other leads, but it worked here. I think many will agree! I also adored Wes so much and being in his head 24/7 was fabulous.

If you’re looking for a lighthearted, charming, and warm romantic comedy with a lot of laugh out loud moments you won’t want to miss The Modern Gentleman. I read this book in one sitting and couldn’t get enough! I hope some of the secondary characters get their own stories… They are equally as hilarious!
