"What is Love?" by Jen Comfort appears to be a quirky and engaging tale that celebrates the magic of knowledge, the thrill of competition, and the unexpected sparks of romance.

The story introduces us to Maxine Hart, a self-described Brooklyn street rat with a unique set of talents and an insatiable hunger for trivia. Maxine's ADHD "superpowers" and passion for learning make her a formidable contender on the trivia game show Answers!. Her unexpected victory over the 76-time-winner Teddy Ferguson, coupled with a surprising kiss, sets the stage for a delightful and unconventional romance.

The premise of a trivia game show and the competitive world surrounding it offers an intriguing backdrop for the story. Readers can anticipate a narrative that explores the joy of intellectual pursuits and the excitement of high-stakes competition.

The dynamic between Maxine and Teddy, who couldn't be more different on the surface, promises to be a central focus. Their arrangement to combine their strengths and help each other succeed in the tournament is likely to lead to humorous and heartwarming moments. The idea of two people coming together to fill in the gaps in each other's knowledge is both endearing and intellectually stimulating.

Overall, "What is Love?" seems to offer a delightful blend of romance, humor, and intellectual exploration. It invites readers to delve into the world of trivia while rooting for the unlikely pair of Maxine and Teddy. It's a tale that celebrates the pursuit of knowledge and the unexpected connections that can form in the most unconventional of settings.

A book about a freaking gameshow? I was like eh, I'll give it a shot, why not? OMG this book is freaking amazing. I absolutely adored it. Maxine and Teddy are like....love goals people. Ugh, I just want to squeeze this book. I will definitely be recommending this book to everyone I know that loves a good witty/snarky/spicy book. I read it in one sitting, I could not put it down.
When I read the scene with Teddy and Maxine "studying" the map, and right after skydiving, and the "stairwell scene" I might have spontaneously combusted. If you want to know what those scenes are you will just have to read it for yourself. ;)

Their banter is top notch, the humor is spectacular and the ending may just make you shed a tear with happiness.

I am immediately adding Jen Comfort to my must read authors list. Well done!

Thank you to NetGalley, Montlake and Jen Comfort for the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
