REVIEWER: Brenda Larnell | RATING: A
REVIEW: HOW TO MARRY KEANU REEVES IN 90 DAYS is a fast-paced Rom-Com that is based on the heroine’s obsession with the real-life actor, Keanu Reeves. There’s more to the story, of course, and the author does a good job of providing substance to the storyline. It’s a great “Friends-to-Lovers” story that cleverly utilizes the alternating POV format that gives incite into the main characters, Bethany Lu Carlisle and her ride-or-Die BFF, Truman “True” Erickson.
True and Lu have known each other forever, along with the 3rd person of their friendship trinity, Dawn. The camaraderie they share is one of the highlights of the story because it explains their acceptance of Lu’s obsession with the actor, Keanu Reeves. So, they somewhat understand her turmoil when she reads that her “Boo” is getting married. This revelation leads to the mother of all road trips in search of the elusive actor before he supposedly ties the knot. Lu is serious as a heart attack as she follows True’s lead from city to city to what? Talk Keanu out of marrying or maybe express her undying love for him…sorry, no spoilers. This story is very emotional with highs and lows. There are some laugh-out-loud moments, and some heart-felt moments that revolve around grief and life changes. You will understand when you read the story, trust me.
The minor characters lend their support to Lu and True as they count down the days to find the elusive Keanu Reeves. One of the highlights of the story is the cameo appearances of some A-list stars. The Epilogue houses one of the best Happily-Ever-Afters I’ve ever read.
If you are in the mood for an amusing friends-to-lovers story with some serious undertones, I recommend HOW TO MARRY KEANU REEVES IN 90 DAYS for your reading pleasure.
