A Funny Thing About Love: Dancing Queen; Prom Crashers; Drive Me Crazy

by Erin Soderberg Downing

Three girls. Three adventures. Three chances at love. Fans of the Romantic Comedies series—which has more than 1 million copies in print—will delight in this trade paperback bind-up of three books, featuring a photographic cover.

In Dancing Queen, Olivia can’t believe it when she lands an internship at a hot music television station in London! But she really has to pinch herself when she captures the heart of a mega pop star. Is he the right one for her? In Prom Crashers, Emily has lost the number of the cutest guy she’s met in ages. All she knows is his first name and that he’s going to a prom. So she throws on a dress, hails a limo—and crashes every prom in town on her search for love! In Drive Me Crazy, Kate’s not happy when hot-but-he-knows-it Adam crashes her all-girls road trip. But it’s a long way to the lake house, and love sometimes takes an unexpected turn....

From the first look to the final kiss, three stories to fall in love with!

OMG!!!!!!! I love these stories!!!! I was actually at the library the first time I saw this, and I was like super confused at first cause I was like "this title is weirdly long." But I did fall in love with it, and
oh me gosh it took me so long to find this again!!! But I am glad that I got to, because this book had me in stiches one minute and then shaking my fist at the next, or like on the brink of tears. Oof, but yes 10/10 recommend it was hilarious and awesome and I love this book so much.

Three stories in one book!

It was really good, but just so weird and very unrealistic.

I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH!!! OMG ADAM IS THE CUTEST PERSON EVER!!! *sighs dramatically* I loved how Drive Me Crazy turned out! Definitely my favorite out of the three. 5/5 stars!!! I LOVE IT!!!!

Favorite quote: "Why do you dislike Lucas so much?" Kate asked this without really expecting an answer. But She couldn't stop herself from asking. Adam paused, and his face turned toward hers in the pinkish afternoon light. For a moment he said nothing. When he did finally speak, his voice was quiet and deliberate, as though he'd taken the time to think it through for once. "Because he got the girl I'm falling in love with-and he's not treating her the way I would."

3.5 stars.

Everyone loves a cute, frilly feel good love story. These three stories by Erin Downing just perfect for what I was currently looking for. An easy happy-go-lucky definite good ending is just nice to have one in a while.

So although they didn't have too much substance to them, I did enjoy them. My favorite was probably the last one with Kate and Adam, it had the perfect ending to the whole book.

I liked the third book the most (Drive me Crazy). This book is for people who don't need challenging material and who enjoy a comedy-like story. I felt like the third book was developed the best. The characters in Dancing Queen were too underdeveloped and shallow. It was hard to get into the book. It's a simple read that is okay to read if you have nothing else or if you just want to take your mind off things and relax.

Dancing Queen: This book was good, yet in a way very predictable which kind of drew away from the story. I would give this book three stars.
Prom Crashers: One and a Half stars
Driving me crazy: I really enjoyed this book, it was cute and funny and you really had the chance to see love work in crazy situations. I would give this book 4 stars.

AMAZING! I LOVED ALL 3 STORIES! first time ever for an omnibus! keep writing fantastic stories like this, Erin!

[Mallorie · Rating 2 out of 5]

It was alright altogether. The books seemed like the same novel just with different characters, and totally different settings.

[Allie · Rating 4 out of 5]

I thought this book would be a little too light for me, but it wasn't. All three stories are clean, too. I enjoyed reading this book a lot more than I thought I would!

[Maegan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Personally, my favorite one was Driving Me Crazy because i've always wanted to go on a road trip with a bunch of friends.

[Isabel · Rating 3 out of 5]

I like DRIVE ME CRAZY the best. I'm actually wondering why it didn't leave much of an impression on my friends.
;P
