Book Description:
A guy told me he loved me tonight.
Peyton Sanders hopes it’s not too late to say it back. Done with dead-end relationships and swiping right, she knows who her heart belongs to. But as she races to tell him how she feels, she’s hit by a car and wakes up with amnesia. It gets worse. Peyton has no clue who the three men who show up at her hospital bed are except they each claim to be her boyfriend.
They’re certainly worth remembering. A rustic-looking contractor—heaven in flannel. A tailored consultant with a smile to die for. And a tattooed chef with a box of homemade chocolates, both delicious. Peyton’s friends Maya and Robbie have an idea: date each man again. Recognizing her soulmate should be as easy as one, two, three.
On a wildly romantic and dizzyingly funny journey, Peyton runs once again toward love. This time, hopefully, her heart can guide her where her mind cannot.
Jessica’s Review:
This was my first rom com by Jeneva Rose. I know her for her thrillers, but enjoy rom coms, so I was looking forward to listening to this one. And January LaVoy is the narrator, so I was definitely listening to it when I saw that!
It’s a Date (Again) is a fun and very quick read. We have Peyton who realizes that she is in love and rushes to tell THE guy and then… well… She is hit by a car. When she wakes up she has amnesia…. And three very good-looking men all saying that he is her boyfriend. Who is Peyton in love with? No one knows, not even her two best friends Maya and Robbie! Being her best friends, Maya and Robbie come up with an idea: Date all three men to figure out who Peyton is in love with. The men agree and we have a fun version of the Bachelorette. But things get complicated as time goes on.
I enjoyed this one. I did guess who ‘the one’ was at 28% in. I would have enjoyed the book more if I had not guessed correctly. It is a feel good and clean rom com. If you enjoy rom coms or Jeneva Rose novels, give this one a read (or listen!).

My Review:
I was lucky enough to receive a copy of SMAFU to read for review from THE Book Club (TBC) on Facebook. I am thankful for the opportunity as I enjoyed the book!
Steve and Mary have been married for seventeen years and their marriage is in trouble and has been for a long time. They move to a new house and meet Cherisse who changes their lives. Cherisse is 90+ years old and “tells it like it is”. She tells stories of her life along with parables to both Steve and Mary. As you learn things about Cherisse’s life, maybe a little more than you want to know, she tries to help save Steve and Mary’s marriage. Steve is the main character in SMAFU, and most of the book is from his perspective. Therefore, we get to see what marriage can be like from the male perspective, which we don’t get much in novels. We see his thoughts and mistakes he makes.
This book has lots of humor (my favorite was when Steve tries to grocery shop!), sarcasm, and it makes you think. I love Cherisse’s character! I wish there was someone like her in reality. She can really teach someone based on all her life experiences.
Will Steve and Mary save their marriage or is it destined to end as it was the beginning of the book? You will have to read to find out!
**Thank you again TBC for my copy of SMAFU
