My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An enjoyable and entertaining heartwarming romance which kept me happily turning the pages. Likeable and relatable main character Bailey is fed up with her brother, and his ridiculous list of ways she needs to improve! The stupid list is also the reason why she’s on a date with Tanner, the weirdest guy at the Froyo shop. However, both Tanner and the date are very different to how Bailey expected them to be. As the couple spend more time together, they get to know each other better, and soon Bailey is forced to face all her imperfections that she’s been ignoring for years. She then has to decide if she’s got what it takes to, “get over herself”, and if so will she do it? I loved the relationship between Bailey and Tanner and although they had obvious chemistry, I enjoyed how their romance developed throughout the story.

Ways to Improve Bailey by Cori Cooper is a super fun and absolutely adorable romance. Bailey, driven to near insanity by her brother and his crazy ever growing list of “Ways to Improve”, does something rash and finds herself on a date with Tanner, aka the weird dude from the froyo shop. Bailey is apprehensive at first, but finds herself slowly falling for Tanner. Falling for the things he does for her. The first of which is really listen to her. Tanner on the other hand, is both a mix of complex love and the unsettling ability to just do right. Lovers of all things YA, Romance, sweet and just down right tug at your heart strings, will adore this book.

I happened upon Ways to Improve Bailey, from a recommendation. This romance was light-hearted and funny. Bailey has a snarky sassiness, that I loved. Tanner, who is a more matter-of-fact guy, complements Bailey. While Bailey does not really want to go on a date with Tanner in the beginning, she reluctantly takes a chance. When Bailey realizes there is more to Tanner than she thought, she realizes maybe she can improve.
If you are looking for a fast-paced, witty rom-com I recommend this book.

I enjoyed reading this cute story about Bailey and her things that she needs to improve on. Her brother keeps adding to the list. What will happen when she goes on a date with the weirdest guy? He isn’t as she expects and now has her thinking about the improvements that she has been ignoring. I enjoyed her character and what she brought to the story. I enjoyed watching her growth as well throughout the story. Will she make the improvements or will she just stay as she is? This is a well written story where the author used details to give the story a realistic feel. It is fast paced and engaging as well. You don’t want to miss what happens to Bailey. I highly recommend this book.

Ways to Improve Bailey is a slow burn, wholesome, and clean romance story with some elements of humor and witty banter. It is clever, original, and has an intriguing storyline that will have you reading until the end. There are many moments when you might find yourself giggling out loud as well. The characters are quirky, brilliantly written, and lovable.
Bailey is a typical teenager who is tired of hearing how her brother thinks that she needs to improve herself. Being as sassy and smart as she is, she feels that she has no imperfections that need to be worked on. Her brother, on the other hand, has a list of the improvements that he feels that she needs. Then her brother has the nerve to set her up with the weird guy Tanner from the yogurt shop and that might be the final straw. But, as luck, or fate, would have it, the more time she spends with Tanner, the more that Bailey starts to like him. Now, she must decide if her brother has actually been right, and she does need some improvements after all.

I loved this unique and wholesome Rom Com and found the story interesting. I loved the family element and how the siblings interacted with one another. I adored Bailey’s feisty attitude and how she was okay with who she was and did not feel she needed to change. It was amusing that her brother had an entire list of what he felt her imperfections were. A cute and entertaining read.

I absolutely adored this story! It was a very clean and sweet YA Rom Com, that is full of heart and laughter. I loved all of the characters; the author did a great job of creating multidimensional characters. I especially loved her older brother Dayton, he comes off as the annoying older brother, picking on his little sister, but as the story unfolds, we see how much he really does love his little sister and wants what is best for her. Tanner was such an amazing character, seeing his character development and his patience with Bailey was the cutest thing. Bailey was a great female heroine, she was spunky and sassy, but when it mattered, she was kind and caring. Seeing her and Tanner work through so many different situations was absolutely delightful! I loved the background of the Froyo store, definitely made me think about my froyo toppings! This was a wonderful story and I can’t wait to read more from the author.

Ways to Improve Bailey by Cori Cooper was such a fun book to read. I have loved Cori Coopers other books that I’ve read, so I happily clicked a copy of this as soon as it released and dove right in. It is a light, sweet, fun, and fresh YA romantic comedy with humour, emotion, teen angst & drama, a slow-burn clean romance, self-discovery/self-acceptance, friendship, family, hopes, fears, entertaining developments, becoming more self-aware, and not judging a book by its cover.
This story certainly took me by surprise, in a great way and has just taken top place as my favourite of Ms. Cooper’s work. As expected, this is a cleverly woven story that proved to be a very fun way to spend a couple of hours.
I love Ms. Cooper’s ability to create wonderfully quirky and endearing characters- as they are so easy to connect with. I also enjoyed seeing Bailey grow/mature and develop over the course of the story. I though the list of ‘ways to improve Bailey’ was such a fun notion- and it certainly added to the entertainment. I loved that each chapter is headed by one of the suggested ways she could improve.
Looking forward to more from Ms. Cooper!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Cori Cooper!

I really enjoyed this slow burn romance. The author does a great job of making it engaging and making the characters likeable. This story has some great moments that really made me laugh and it is full of twists and turns so you never quite know what to expect.

I really enjoyed the growth of the characters especially Bailey. What starts out as a joke list by her brother of ways she can improve herself actually turns into her journey of finding herself and learning to be the best person she could be.
I also enjoyed her relationship with Tanner. Even though she was reluctant to give him the time of day as the story progresses and she actually gets to know him she realises he is more compatible for her than she thinks. Just goes to show you can never judge a book by the cover which I think is a great lesson to teach people.
I like how they complement each other and the grow together which was really nice to see.

Overall it was a lovely sweet romance which a lot of character growth which made the story even more engaging as you want to see how the characters are going to progress and grow.

Hilarious rom-com
This original romcom had me laughing out loud way too much. The characters are likeable and Bailey grew so much over the course of the book. There is the kindhearted, compassionate & quirky guy and the self-doubting, sassy girl who have to find their balance to make things work which made this so more relatable. I really enjoy this authors work and can’t wait to see what she brings out next. Highly recommend.

Ways to Improve Bailey is a fun and not your usual YA Rom Com. It will have you laughing out loud. I love that Cori’s cleverly crafted stories are a little different, original and imaginative. It is fun and entertaining with loveable, quirky and flawed characters that bring the story to life especially Tanner and Bailey’s bestie Marci.
This quirky slow burn romance will also have your taste buds salivating. Journey along as the characters work through real “first world problems” that YA’s have.
There is humour, fears, drama, family, adventure and emotions.
Bailey is sassy and has the usual raging teen angst and grumpiness which is perpetuated by her brothers ‘list’. It was good to watch her grow and come into herself. Admitting you have problems to be address is hard.
YAs are going to enjoy reading about Bailey.

5 stars from me!
Everything from sibling relationships and support systems to overcoming fears and personal growth, this book has it all.

Having her brother constantly telling her what she’s doing wrong and framing it as something their parents wanted him to do has Bailey exhausted and feeling like she’s never enough. But at the same time, he’s her brother and she loves him so she does it as to not disappoint him. Her best friend, Marnie, is there to support her but when she agrees that there’s area Bailey could work on, she knows some of them may be real.

 

I love the sibling dynamic between Bailey and Dayton. Especially how they look out for and respect one another while still getting on each others nerves, as siblings do. Bailey’s growth throughout the book and realizing certain things she was doing were to protect herself, which is very relateable.

Besides writing stories and daydreaming about ridiculously poofy dresses with sparkly glass slippers, she adores hanging out with her family, playing board games as long as she doesn’t have to read the instructions, watching Jane Austen remakes unless they are too modern, baking without recipes which means frequent kitchen fails and collecting fuzzy knees socks that don’t match.
