"In a world where marriage doesn't exist--only seven-year contracts--you don't marry, you sign. You don't divorce, you breach. And sometimes, you just expire. Kate is struggling to find her footing. She gave up a career she hated to pursue the law, and now she's buried in debt and unemployed. At least she's signed to an amazing guy--hot, sweet, and committed. Enter the contract killer, the man who pursues only signed women. No commitment, no hassle, all the fun. But Kate has enough fun on her plate... until her partner doesn't re-up their contract. After an epic but well-deserved meltdown, Kate gets practical. She accepts a job with her uncle's law firm, practicing signing law--the one type of law she swore she'd never do. And the contract killer? Now that Kate is single, she's no longer his type, but he still wants to be friends. Yeah, that'll work. Kate may be …

Kate may be heartbroken, but she's not impervious to this sexy, smart, and complex man. But hey, it looks like he may not be impervious to her either--signed or not. Hilariously relatable, with biting wit and charm, The Contract Killers is 27 Dresses meets Bridget Jones's Diary for the millennial set"--

Review of 'I Love You Subject to the Following Terms and Conditions' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

This is actually closer to a 2.5 for me but it lost the benefit of rounding up because it ends on a cliffhanger. This is the second book I've read in 2 weeks that ends on a cliffhanger, so it's possible that I'm grading this one more harshly than I would if it had been the first, but this book makes absolutely no pretense of trying to wrap up any of its loose ends. It's like Erin Lyon wanted to make sure people would buy her next book by refusing to resolve even one plot line in this. Well, I for one, didn't enjoy this enough to pick back up with whatever her next book is going to be.

The thing is, I actually thought this was well-written, and the premise of people signing 7 year contracts rather than getting married was novel. Having every single hot guy Kate runs …

The thing is, I actually thought this was well-written, and the premise of people signing 7 year contracts rather than getting married was novel. Having every single hot guy Kate runs across fall madly in love with her while she just wants to be friends, did get tiring, and much of the book lacks a forward moving plot, but it was an easy read for a snowy sunday in bed.
