I had no idea I was going to read this book today, but once I started, I just couldn't stop! Sweet and sexy, funny and flirty, it's got all the cutesy-but-steamy romance a new adult should deliver but it also had a good plot and highly excellent characterization. Go figure Veronica Rossi is the one who figures out how to do new adult right! Veronica and Lorin win ALL the awards with the first of the series, and I am seriously hooked! 
 Full review to come, but be warned, it'll just be me gushing about how awesome this book is! 
 ETA: Full review posted here. 
 I heard that Veronica Rossi was cowriting a NA romance, and I was like, "Oh, of course I'm going to read that!" Then one day, I was on Edelweiss. I saw this cute cover, liked the blurb, and requested it. It was only after I'd sent off my request that I looked at the author information and realized Boomerang was in fact that book I'd heard about months before. I was so grateful to be approved, and then Boomerang sat on my tablet just waiting for me to start reading it. And by "sat on my tablet just waiting" I mean it was silently telling me to READ ME NAO. So I started reading Boomerang immediately, even though I had some other books I sould have been reading. Eventually guilt overcame me so I put Boomerang down, but it just wasn't having it. I kept trying throughout the course of a day to put Boomerang down, but my efforts were absurdly futile. I read it in less than a day. 
 So what about this book was so captivating? First of all, it's the humor. In the very first sentence, Mia managed to win me over by being concerned about the location of her underwear, and I was hooked. Eventually you will discover where Mia's missing undies have been hiding (and it'll have you rolling on the floor as well), but the secret is out: this book is hilarious. Ethan, Mia, their boss, their families, their coworkers: every character has at least one line that had me giggling. This book is a delight in that it was incredibly fun to read. In some ways it's very much a comedy of errors as Mia and Ethan attempt to figure out what exactly they did that first night (did they or didn't they? THAT is the question!) as well as try to tamp down their very natural-but-against-the-rules chemistry, juggle their internship with dating and exes and money and family. 
 I know many people are still very skeptical over the validity of the new adult genre in literature, but I think Boomerang is definitely a book that has the substance to prove to readers it is not only an entertaining and interesting genre, but it is just as vital and necessary as we have now realized the young adult genre to be. And this is because of that juggling act Mia and Ethan have to do. I am a new adult. At twenty-six years old, I'm living away from my parents fcr the first time (I don't count college because dorm life is NOTHING like real adult life) and having to pay my own bills, cook, and generally just be responsible for myself. At one point, Ethan has to call his dad to ask for financial help. I totally made that utterly humiliating, embarrassing, humbling and emotionally-exhausting call to my own parents just a few months ago. It was one of the worst moments of my life, and I 100% empathize with Ethan's financial straits. I forget who I was talking to, but at an event, someone said they consider these books to be shelved simply as adult. I mean, that's fine. They ARE adult. But there is something to be said to have a genre that is catered to a specific age group. One upon a time, there was just literature. Then kid lit was introduced, and everything else was therefore adult. Then ya came on the scene in a big way, then middle grade. Why not have a genre dedicated to the early stages of adulthood? YA is important because there is a lot more responsibility and you also mature a lot emotionally and mentally. Buuuut NA kind of represents that period when you are truly independent, particularly financially (or at least trying to be that way). This is another time of firsts (first adult love, first post-college job, hopefully a true and lasting career, first adult home, etc) so I think it's cool that this genre has started showing up in a big way. 
 But I digress (I know I do that a lot...). Even though Boomerang is clearly a book that revolves around a romantic relationship, it hits on all those points I mention above and still balances in other kinds of relationships like those with friends, family, roommates, good AND bad coworkers as well as other kinds of romantic relationships like awkward and bad first dates and exes. I've said that Fangirl and Just One Day are the books I wish I'd had going into college, but Boomerang is the one I wish I'd had once I'd left. Better late than never, I suppose. It seems like the current generation of 20s and early 30s are somewhat lost. I hope you are not offended if you are in that group; I'm there too. There's a lot of uncertainty that we face daily. In a world with so much freedom to choose a future but severe limitations created by an economic crisis and tight emploiyment competition, it's easy to feel frustrated and alone. I think Boomerang is a book that honestly portrays characters living with these same uncertainties, and that makes me feel a heck of a lot less alone. 
 No matter your feelings on the new adult genre, Boomerang is a great book. Period. Because of the adult content and nature, I don't feel like I would recommend it to a teen. I don't mean just because of the sexy times, which are actually very tasteful and well-done, but I just don't think a teen would really identify with some of the conflict in the book. Ignore the labels, though, and this is a book any reader will relate to and enjoy.
