I really enjoyed this and I knew I would, it just took me a while to get used to the writing style but when I did, I raced through it.
This is one hell of an adventure!
Watching Saba grow as a person was interesting. Jack, the cheeky chap, was fun and I loved his interactions with Saba and their fledgling romance--nawww!!
I now need book 2, Rebel Heart, to see how they meet again and to get answers about who DeMalo is, and why he helped.

Mar 18, 2019 (Updated Mar 18, 2019)
‘Isn’t It Romantic’ sets out to lovingly spoof the rom com formula, and does this perfectly, but still ends up delivering everything a good rom com should do.
It’s lovely to see the wonderful Rebel Wilson getting a starring role, normally she just gets to inject a bit of her talents here and there, but she really gets her teeth into this role. She comes across as a really lovely person, her natural self shining through the character she plays.
There are lots of references to other much loved rom coms (e.g. Bridget Jones and 13 Going On 30), all done with an obvious passion.
One touch of genius was the way Rebel Wilson’s character’s expletives were drowned out by an assortment of background noises - a really simple idea but so refreshing and also hilarious.
The karaoke scene, in which the cast sing along to Whitney Houston’s ‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody’ is superb, and equals the magic of ‘13 Going On 30’s outstanding ‘Thriller’ scene.
Overall, I adored this movie, great cast, great music, and loads of love poured into the film by all those involved.
