Freaking adorable!! 
 When I read an excerpt of Dating-ish in Penny's monthly newsletter, I immediately preordered this book. The excerpt was interesting, funny and sexy, I was intrigued and couldn't wait it. I've read the majority of the books in the Knitting in the City series, however I've skipped the last couple ones. Which means I am not too familiar with Marie's personality and character, I vaguely remember Marie from Love Hacked, when she was having some trouble, other than that I don"t really know what to expect when I read this book. 
 Dating-ish explored some very interesting topics, including the ideal of AI replacing human companions. This was interesting for me, as someone who majored Psychology in college, I am always curious about human behaviors. And if you think about it, the innovation of social media has dramatically changed how people interact with each other today. 
 As always, every time I read Penny's book, I know I will be getting more than just another romance book. Penny's romance always takes on fresh idea, and while enjoying her smart writing, her story also makes you think. I feel this is a book you could easily relate to, because the aspect of the relationship this book explored was very realistic, and perhaps we all have experienced something similar at some point in our life. 
 What I really enjoyed this book was the adorable and sexy Matt Simmons, he was nerdy and appear to be socially awkward, but at the same time incredibly charming (at least to me he was). To be honest the entire time I was reading Dating-ish, I was having a major book crush on him. At the same time I actually thought Marie's character seem too perfect for me, she just appears to always doing the right things, which I suppose I can see the intimidation factor. It was fun and sometimes frustrated to see these two dancing around with each other, but I've thought the book made a very good pace and transformation of Marie and Matt's relationship. 
 Overall, I thought this book was freaking adorable, and I can say Dating-ish has now become my favorite book of the Knitting in the City series. 
 Happy Reading!! XO
