Karen McQuestion deftly blends romance and comedy in this delightful romp where love is discovered in the most unexpected of places.
When twenty-nine-year-old Lola Watson unexpectedly inherits a rambling house in the suburbs, she thinks her life just couldn't be more perfect—until her new neighbors make her their “project,” a heartbroken high school friend crashes indefinitely at her house, and her younger sister announces she's getting married, on Lola's thirtieth birthday. Suddenly Lola's not so keen on her newfound domestic bliss. But when she meets handsome, mysterious Ryan Moriarty, Lola dares to hope she's found the perfect guy to one-up her sister and add a little spice back into her life.
This lighthearted romantic comedy from Karen McQuestion is headlined by a charming cast of characters, led by the self-deprecatingly funny Lola. Breezy and fun, Easily Amused serves as a gentle, often amusing reminder that love can often be found in the place we least expect—under our very noses.

"I'm enjoying this book...glanced over it while at the bookstore and added the sample to my Kindle...got it immediately after the sample, and I'm about 40% thru. Yep, it's good so far."
— Victoria (4 out of 5 stars)
" Sometimes I just like simple, fluffy chick lit and this qualified. I'm interested to read more of her books...fun and light! "
— Lori, 2/20/2014" This was a cute book. I enjoyed reading it, although, I wasn't racing home to dive in. I was looking for an easy, enjoyable read after my last book club book. Served it's purpose well. "
— Jenn, 2/16/2014" I liked the fact that this wasn't the normal girl/guy best friend story of romance! "
— Quonita, 2/13/2014" Seriously cute book!! And the main character reminded me so much of me that it really really entertained me. Really great read. "
— Alicia, 2/7/2014" flat and predictable, and every character was unlikeable. "
— Victoria, 2/3/2014" After reading far too much British chick lit this summer, this was a terrific quick read. I'd recommend. "
— Jennifer, 1/30/2014" It was an easily read story. Great for a weekend that I needed a break. "
— Cathe, 1/29/2014" Pretty good. A light hearted, somewhat predictable read, but good. "
— Tracey, 1/22/2014" Very slow storyline. More than halfway through I was questioning where it was going, if anywhere. The last 15% of the book was where everything was made clear. I give it more of a 2.5 rating. It was a quick, easy read for a summer break. "
— Britt, 1/18/2014" This was a fun and easy book to read. "
— Nan, 1/18/2014" It was a little strange how you got about 90% of the way through the book and hadn't really gotten to the climax and then all of a sudden everything happened at once and it was over. But it was a nice, short, cute read. "
— Mrsnah, 1/3/2014" This was just ok. Lola is a pretty dim bulb and I just didn't relate to her because of it. The only thing that helped me relate at all is the relationship with her sister although mine would not be quite that despicable. "
— Deirdre, 12/26/2013" This was a fun book to read! "
— Cindy, 12/16/2013" Light and quick book. The plot was predictable and the main character was a little childish. Good book if you don't want to push your brain and just want to take a break from real novels. "
— Mariana, 11/16/2013" This was the first book I bought on my Kindle. Couldn't sleep at two in the morning so I bought a book. I knew then I was going to love my Kindle. Anyway, this kept me interested until the end. Nothing to gush about, just a light, easy read. "
— Pepper, 10/26/2013" This gets 3 stars in the light, easy, beachy read category (not overall). It's not very realistic in some parts and is predictable in other parts, but it kept me entertained on a long plane ride. I got it for $2 on Amazon and it was worth it. "
— Lisa, 10/17/2013" Light reading, nicely written. Not a lot of depth to the plot. "
— Wanda, 8/23/2013" Cute, yet predictable chick-lit. Despite all her flaws, I did like the protaganist, Lola. She's a little whiny and self-centered and naive, but what the hell -- so am I. It did keep my attention and was pretty entertaining, but not spectacular. "
— george, 8/16/2013" This author orginally self published on Kindle and then I think she was picked up by a publisher. A generally entertaining romance/finding yourself story, but nothing exciting or unexpected. "
— Nicole, 8/9/2013" Lola is so like me...I'm sorry, it's not how I want to be but I'm having a real hard time being more positive. "
— Wendy, 7/29/2013" Nothing to write home about but cute. "
— Tracy, 7/25/2013" While a bit predictable at times, it was a cute, light-hearted story with a sweet ending. It would make a great chick-flick. "
— Mel, 7/4/2013" Enjoyable, but I've decided I don't like endings that imply something (i.e. a future relationship) is going to happen. Make it happen and wrap it up--give the readers what they want! "
— Annie, 4/2/2013" Good story, but a little too short! "
— Bonniej, 12/4/2012" I really enjoyed this right up to the end... which I found disappointingly anticlimactic. "
