<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Greta must choose between boy-next-door Will and dreamboat Mac while also trying to prevent the county from closing the library where she works.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Greta loves her job as assistant librarian. She loves her best friend, Will, the high school civics teacher and debate coach. She even loves her mother despite her obvious disappointment that Greta is still single. <p/> Then she meets Mac in the poetry section of the library, and she is smitten. Mac is heart-stoppingly gorgeous and showers her with affection, poetic text messages, and free hot chocolate at the local café where he works. The only problem is that he seems to be a different person in his texts than in his face-to-face conversation. <p/> When the Franklin Library is threatened with closure, Greta leaps into action. She arranges for a "battle of the bands" book jam, hosts a book signing by a famous author, and finally, stages a protest that raises more than a few eyebrows. <p/> Through it all, she slowly realizes that it is Will, not Mac, who she turns to for support and encouragement. Mac has the looks; Will has the heart. How can she choose between them? <p/><i>Check Me Out</i> is a contemporary romance--with just a hint of <i>Cyrano de Bergerac</i>--that reminds us that it is what's on the inside that matters most.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Clean contemporary romance, a modern librarian's update on <i>Cyrano</i>...It's quirky and fun, light and comfortable. A whimsical work, with a style of dialogue that feels believable and genuine. Casual banter keeps the tone delightful, with pleasing turns into comical dialogue. Passages have a unique format that includes text messages between characters, grounding the narrative's charming ambiance. A convivial romance that holds closely to its underlying thesis; it's what is on the inside that matters the most."-- "Foreword Reviews" (1/1/2018 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"Wilhite's sweet contemporary romance is a charmer for readers who enjoy witty banter and a breezy writing style similar to romance-authors Mary Kay Andrews and Donna Kauffman."-- "Booklist" (1/1/2018 12:00:00 AM)<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Becca Wilhite, author of <i>Bright Blue Miracle</i> and <i>My Ridiculous Romantic Obsessions</i>, is a happy wife, and a mom to four above-average kids.
