Dating-ish by Penny Reid is the sixth book in her awesome 
 Knitting in the City 
 series. This is the story of Marie and Matt. Marie, who has no faith in online dating and Matt, the evil genius that hijacks her first date with her "Perfect Match". These two - I just can't - It was absolutely yet another fabulous journey with Penny's characters. 
 Marie is quirky, a journalist, and now that the idea is in her head of compassion robots replacing humans and professional dry-humpers and professional huggers being an actual thing she has a story to write. Using Matt to get official clinical study data to help her back up the facts of her article is a necessary evil. That is, until she realizes that what she perceived as aloof, rude, and obnoxious was actually just honesty, a bit of social awkwardness, and an endearing personality (ONCE you get to know him better). 
 We don't get to know much of the story from Matt's perspective, that is saved for a wonderful epilogue, BUT he is quirky, possessive, and misleading in his behaviors. He seems attracted to Marie but also constantly states how she is too good for anyone, especially himself. 
 The angst that lays just below the pages is never too great but it is a constant. Marie likes Matt but believes he doesn't like her, not that way at least. But each of there interactions leaves her more confused and on edge. Is she reading too much into this? Is he attracted? I was just as wound up as Marie reading this story and I devoured every word. Penny's writing is immersive and amazing and an absolute pleasure to read. Enjoy!
