    About this audiobook

    Karen McQuestion deftly blends romance and comedy in this delightful romp where love is discovered in the most unexpected of places.

    When twenty-nine-year-old Lola Watson unexpectedly inherits a rambling house in the suburbs, she thinks her life just couldn’t be more perfect—until her new neighbors make her their “project,” a heartbroken high school friend crashes indefinitely at her house, and her younger sister announces she’s getting married, on Lola’s thirtieth birthday. Suddenly Lola’s not so keen on her newfound domestic bliss. But when she meets handsome, mysterious Ryan Moriarty, Lola dares to hope she’s found the perfect guy to one-up her sister and add a little spice back into her life.

    This lighthearted romantic comedy from Karen McQuestion is headlined by a charming cast of characters, led by the self-deprecatingly funny Lola. Breezy and fun, Easily Amused serves as a gentle, often amusing reminder that love can often be found in the place we least expect—under our very noses.

      Such a good premise, but the characters were so underdeveloped it felt formulaic.
    • 4/5
      This book got a lot of bad critique. As a reader of chic lit, I had predicted what was going to happen in this story but it was still a good read. Once you start reading it, you find it difficult to put down because the story, at least for me, flowed so easily.

      This was my first book by Karen McQuestion so I don't really have any other books of hers to compare but I would definitely read another.
    • 3/5
      Lola is tired of her sister always taking front stage and getting special treatment so she and her friend Piper plan to overshadow sister Mindy at Mindy’s wedding. It gets weird when a male friend moves in with Lola just when they begin to implement the scheme. The story has the usual romantic twists and turns that makes the ending easy to predict. Goodreads Giveaway randomly chose me to receive this book. Although encouraged, I was under no obligation to write a review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
    • 2/5
      Starts interestingly enough then jumps all over the place with guys in her life back-and-forth whether good or bad (I guess in an attempt to make a "surprise" ending?). I did enjoy bits and pieces but somehow does not come together.
    • 4/5
      A very cute and light hearted read!
    • 5/5
      4.5 starsMy Review: I absolutely loved this novel. McQuestion captures the true essence of what Wisconsin neighborhoods are like. It seems like all neighborhoods are made up of; the nosey rosy neighbor, the mystery neighbor, the helper neighbor and the antisocial neighbor along with many others. McQuestion brings together a neighborhood filled with some unforgettable characters in an outstanding novel about family, love and friendship. When Lola inherits a house in the suburbs she has no idea what is in store for her. But her neighbors know things about Lola and her family and they all help guide Lola through her crazy day-to-day life. This lighthearted, enjoyable romantic comedy will have you rooting for love and will have you laughing aside Lola and her crazy cast of neighbors, family and friends.
    • 4/5
      This is a straight forward romance. As the previous reviewer mentioned the plot is a little weak but the author was still able to keep some tension about the outcome. I enjoyed reading the book.
