Moti On The Water by Leylah Attar

5 Stars

This is going to be one giant ramble of a giffy mess, so before I begin let me start with THIS COMES OUT TODAY AND Y’ALL ROMANCE READERS NEED TO BUY IT. Okay, now that that’s done, here goes the rambling. It all begins with the cover . . . .



And my reaction . . . .



Seriously. This is quite possibly my favorite cover ever. I had never heard of this book (because it had not yet been released, DUH, but I didn’t know that at the time) or this author, but as soon as I saw it on Instagram I knew I had to have it. And why don’t I just take a minute to share the pre-release bookpushing press photos that went along with this perfecto cover while I’m at it . . . .





Dear Everyone Else: You’re doing it wrong.

Okay, so I see this thing over on the ‘Gram and I’m like . . . . .



Without even knowing anything about it and I see that there’s a little application you can fill out to be part of the hype train. If you know me, you know I’m a huge whore when it comes to free books so despite the fact that I have 12 Instagram followers I totally filled out the form. AND THEY GAVE ME AN EARLY COPY!!!!!



Now, obviously this could have gone South in a quick hurry for me if the execution had been poor, but the basics had me looking like Joey eating the trifle on that one episode of Friends . . . .



The story here centers around our hopeless 24-year old leading lady, Moti. Upon her birth it was foretold that Moti’s soulmate would be the proud owner of three thumbs. If she opted to marry another fella? Her mother would die within the week. No pressure, right? So fastforward back to the present where Moti and her parents are attending her cousin’s destination wedding . . . .



Once again . . . .



Or maybe more like . . . . .



And guess what the best man just happens to possess???? If you guessed a third thumb, maybe this ain’t your first rodeo. There’s only one problem. The yacht’s private chef is a real manbun who appears destined to ruin Moti’s plans on making Nikos Three Thumbs fall in love with her. Mmmmm, manbun . . . .



Wait. Where was I????

Oh yeah, so if you read romance stories you know what’s bound to happen. What you might not be used to is a book that calls itself a Rom Com that is 100% a romcom. We’re talking laugh out loud funny and Moti is a fourth wall breaker – you know what that is, right????



Which is just my favorite thing ever. A little Big Fat Greek Wedding, a little Chocolat, a lot of win. My expectations were set super high for this and I’m so pleased to say that I enthusiastically give it . . . .
