Lucie Yi Is Not A Romantic: The funny, heartwarming new romantic comedy from the internationally bestselling author of LAST TANG STANDING Paperback – 23 Jun. 2022

Lucie Yi Is Not Romantic has the classic elements of a light-hearted romcom but also discusses a subject that many women may face. That subject is the ‘ticking time-bomb’ of being in your thirties, single and wanting to fulfil the dream of being a mother. Whilst not for everyone, MC Lucie has had enough of the corporate world and wants to start a family. This is where Lucie virtually meets Collin; the beautiful man who wants the same thing without the relationship. With a co-parenting agreement in place, Lucie soon becomes pregnant, and they head to Singapore to begin their journey. What could possibly go wrong?I would recommend this to anyone wanting a quick, easy read that will make you laugh but occasionally a little sad. There are some characters you will adore (Collin 🥰)and some that you will detest (here’s looking at you Mark)! I really loved the Singapore setting and learnt so much about cultural differences. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️#netgalley #gifted #earc #bookstagram #lucieyiisnotromantic #kindle #romcom

Lots of laughter . Just what i needed.

Reasonable read but not as good as Last Tang Standing

Lucie Yi appears very put together. That is until she goes to purchase a baby gift for her friend and she quite literally has a meltdown in the store. Lucie’s last relationship didn’t end well and there are no other romantic prospects on the horizon but all Lucie wants is a child. That’s when she signs up to a co-parenting website to find a suitable partner. That’s when she meets Colin who also wants to become a parent but doesn’t want to get married. As soon as they meet Lucie and Colin appear to be the perfect match. When Lucie becomes pregnant she and Colin move to Singapore to raise their child. Will Lucie’s traditional family approve of this unconventional arrangement? When Lucie’s ex makes a reappearance in her life and her feelings for Colin start moving towards something more than platonic who will Lucie choose?The concept of this book with the co-parenting idea was a brilliant storyline and very interesting. I thought it was quite an original idea and haven’t read anything like this before. Lucie was a hilarious character and I knew I’d like her from the first page. When Lucie meets Colin they have an instant connection and it’s like they were meant to be so it did make me think what would have happened if they’d met in different circumstances. Although they decide to co-parent and nothing more it was clear that Lucie started having feelings for Colin and this was more than pregnancy hormones. Colin was also feeling the same but neither wanted to cross that line or admit their feelings for each other. At times they acted more like a couple than as friends. I thought it was a little unfair when Lucie’s ex Mark made a reappearance and said that he wanted her back. Especially after everything he’d put her through. This isn’t just a book about Lucie wanting a child but is also a story about female friendship. From the beginning of the book we are introduced to her best friends Weina and Suzie (the group are collectively known as The Fab Trio) who have what I would call a forever friendship. They can talk about anything and are always there for each other no matter what.A book I’d highly recommend if you’re a fan of the love triangle trope.

I loved this book! Whilst tackling some heavy themes (like pregnancy loss & infidelity), the author’s humour and warmth really shine through and I really loved Lucie as the main character.

Actual rating 3.5.Here’s a super cute, laugh-out-loud romcom which would make the perfect addition to your summer holiday!Lucie Yi is a successful, hardworking woman who knows her mind - and what she wants now is a baby. But having had a devastating breakup and no romantic interest since then, she decides to find a co-parent online who will help raise a child with her without any of the romantic stuff. Except of course when she actually meets and gets to know Collin, sparks fly. With a baby on the way, her ex Mark back in the picture and her family pressuring her to settle down properly, will Lucie take her usual sensible route, or follow her heart?So I can pretty much guarantee you’ll love Lucie - whilst she can be a bit type A sometimes, she’s also clearly got a heart of gold and she’s absolutely hilarious, especially when it comes to all those joyful pregnancy side effects (fanny farts anyone?! 😂). I loved how totally open and honest this novel was about pregnancy, and there were so many moments that I found myself guffawing (awkward as I mostly listened to this in the gym 🤣).Collin was also such a refreshing male lead - super hot but also kinda nerdy and deep. I love a good love triangle and the Mark angle definitely kept things interesting! I also just loved the setting of Singapore, and the food, OMG THE FOOD 🤤 Not to mention the cultural differences with Lucie’s family and their expectations of her, which really made me feel for her - I loved how fierce she was about having a baby however she needed to, although the ease with which she and Collin conceive might make some people roll their eyes. But hey, it’s meant to be a mostly light read so just enjoy the ride!
