A swoony, slow-burn rom-com, Melonie Johnson's Too Wrong to Be Right features a true romantic on a mission to find her happily ever after.
After her latest jerk of a boyfriend dumps her (and ditches her with his pet hedgehog), florist Kat Kowalski is done chasing after Mr. Wrong. With her two best friends moving on to more serious relationships, she's ready to stop repeating the same mistakes that are leaving her stuck in the single lane. Armed with a list of qualities for her perfect Mr. Right, Kat swears off dating until she finds him. Then in a meet-disaster involving a corpse and a salty cockatoo, she stumbles across Mick O'Sullivan at his family's funeral home. Their immediate chemistry warns Kat to keep things platonic; after all, following her heart never worked out in the past, and this time she's determined to listen to her head. But can Kat and Mick be just friends? As she gets to know him better, the lines blur, and Kat starts to wonder if she's gotten it wrong and Mick is exactly who she's been looking for..."Smartly deploying her flair for comic timing and considerable gift for witty banter, Johnson once again dazzles and delight readers with a perfectly executed rom-com featuring a delightfully quirky cast of characters that includes a hot-cinnamon-roll hero and a heroine with a totally relatable, messy personal life as well as a cockatoo with a sailor's vocabulary and an adorable hedgehog." - Booklist, starred review

This slow burn romance had all the angst and tension and I was basically yelling at these characters to just kiss already! (And then they did and it was amazing!) A thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining read from beginning to end!" - Falon Ballard, author of Lease on Love and Just My Type
