Love at First Like

This appealing rom-com from Orenstein (Playing with Matches) smartly reveals the tremendous impact social media can have on someone. Eliza Roth and her sister, Sophie, are co-owners of Williamsburg jewelry shop Brooklyn Jewels. After Eliza hears her ex is engaged, she capriciously posts a photo of herself wearing one of the engagement rings from her shop on her Instagram account, which has 100,000 followers. After her post goes viral, she’s inundated with offers of photos shoots, a free venue for the wedding, and a no-cost gown. There’s one problem: she needs to find a groom. Eliza starts dating Blake Barrett, founder of a watch rental company. As their relationship becomes more serious, Eliza hopes that maybe he will propose in time to agree to the wedding date offered by the wedding venue. But Eliza is conflicted, because though she has been content with Blake, she shares a closer bond with her friend Raj, who works at a local bar and has heard all about the details of the wedding plans. Orenstein keeps the plot snappy and funny as the clock ticks down. Fans of romantic comedies where the characters discover what is most important in life will adore this one.
