For twenty-nine-year-old Lola Watson, life is finally looking up: she has fabulous friends, is working her dream job at a popular magazine, and has just inherited a beautiful house from her late aunt. Sure, her love life isn’t in great shape, but she’s got time, right? And so what if her new neighbors are a little too friendly (i.e., incredibly nosy)? Okay, maybe she could stand for a little less drama from her friend Hubert, who unexpectedly moves in after his girlfriend kicks him out. Other than that, life is great! At least, until her little sister Mindy announces that she is getting married ― on Lola’s thirtieth birthday, no less. It’s the final straw in Mindy’s long history of one-upping her sister, and so Lola’s best friend Piper hatches the perfect revenge: find a guy to pose as Lola’s fiancé and steal her sister’s thunder by announcing an engagement at Mindy’s reception. It’s an ambitious plan, and not just any man will do. Enter Ryan Moriarty, Lola’s handsome, well-dressed, and wonderfully mysterious new neighbor. He’s definitely a catch, and their burgeoning relationship sets the neighborhood gossips’ tongues to wagging. But when their well-meaning meddling unearths surprising revelations, what they find could derail Lola’s entire plan ― or enrich her life beyond her dreams. With its cynical-yet-loveable heroine, this lighthearted romantic comedy serves as an entertaining reminder that the deepest love and the truest friendship often can be found closer to home than we ever imagined possible.

I'm sorry that I spent money on it, but at least it was only $1.50.

Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2017

Verified Purchase

This was very juvenile writing. I read the whole thing, but I wish I could have that time back. The main character was small minded and not very bright. The other characters were not fleshed out and the writing was somewhat disjointed.

I feel kind of bad about this review, since I've certainly never written a novel myself, but I am an avid reader who depends upon reviews, so here's a heads up, fellow bookworms.

A cute and funny story

Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2021

Verified Purchase

Easily Amused by Karen McQuestion is the story of Lola Watson. At 29 years old, she inherits a house on King Street from her great-aunt May, a woman she barely remembers. As she begins to enjoy her new house, her neighbors begin to welcome her and try to pull her into their community. She is content just to live there and not engage with any one unless she has to. When her heartbroken high school friend, Hubert Holmes, comes to stay at her house and her young sister, Mindy, announces that she has moved her wedding date, to Lola’s thirtieth birthday, she quickly becomes discontent with her new home. But when the mysterious neighbor, the handsome Ryan Moriarty, enters her life, Lola begins to believe she has found the perfect guy and the cherry on top, the chance to one-up her sister. Will Lola open herself to the new friendships of the neighborhood? Is there more to Ryan than meets the eye?
Easily Amused is one of Karen McQuestion’s first published worlds and as I have read her newer books, I can see how she has evolved as a writer. The story was cute and funny. Although I found Lola to be very annoying and opinionated, especially about situations that she has no experience with, she redeems herself in the end. In Easily Amused, it is the secondary characters that were the most interesting. The residents of King Street, an eccentric but great group, were the heart and soul of the story. They are able to show Lola that family is more than who you are related to. Through Hubert, Lola finally sees there is more to her neighbors than her first impressions. The story was fun and entertaining. It is a lighthearted story which doesn’t try to take itself too seriously but gives us the reminder that love, family and a sense of belonging can be found where we least expect it. I recommend Easily Amused.

Easily Amused is available in paperback, eBook and audiobook.

A Page Turner!

Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2019

Once I started reading “Easily Amused,” I had a hard time putting it down. The plot was captivating, even though the ending was quite predictable. The character development was superb. If I saw Ryan walking down the street, I’d recognize him from a block away. And I’d invite Hubert to come stay with me any day! I want an aunt like this one who would will to me her old house in a quaint old neighborhood like this one. I could see this being made into a movie ... and I hope there will be a sequel. I’ll look for it!

Couldn't get through it

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2017

Lola is a doormat, her sister is cruel and obnoxious as is her sister's friend. I don't know if Amazon will publish my review if I saw what I really think. It's like watching a reality show you can't get away from. I couldn't get through the book, I had to stop listening because I wanted to break my phone.

A lonely hearts story that is a real page turner.

Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2021

An almost 30 something, unmarried woman, finds true love after an awkward romance with a Lady killer, in the sense that he thought every woman loved him. Her real love turned out to be for her best friend. He was right there and she never really noticed what a Gem she had. Wonderfully light romance comedy. You'll love it

Main character a drag, read for the supporting.

Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2012

Verified Purchase

This book was very interesting, I wanted to like the whole thing but pieces of it nag at me. The main character is terrible, I don't know if we are suppose to dislike her or what the author was going for? She whines the whole book and is too self involved to see all the nice people around her trying to look out for her. Her sister is terrible as well and adds nothing to the book but the ending.

The supporting characters (Lola's neighbors) are terrific! And how she could over look her "best friends" and their awesomeness is beyond me. She has amazingly witty and giving people all around her and yet she sulks the whole book.

All is not lost on this book though, it is charming and laid back. There are quite a few chucks to be had and it is a light, very light romance book. Although in my opinion the man of Lola's dreams had absolutely no chemistry with her and I'm not sure what happened to make her think their romance would work. But if you are looking for a cute, quirky book go ahead and try it out!

Another Easy Love Story

When I was sixteen nearly 70 yearso, soft core porn was titillatingly thrilling. But I'm not 16 any more and have lost the need for cheap thrills . So it's nice to read a storythat doesn't depend on cheap thrills for Mr interest, and this was one . I thoroughly enjoyed the story and recommend it for an easy read in one evening.

Still reading...Unexpectedly good

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2017

Verified Purchase

I'm glad I ignored some negative reviews, because I enjoyed this story. It was filled with interesting characters and villains. Some found the h irritating, but I thought her personality was believable, since there are many people who don't crave being around others. She was shallow in some areas, but basically a decent person with relatives that didn't play nice. Her sister made a good antagonist, as did another character, who played a big part in her evolving. I took a star off because of some crude talk near the end and an ugly scene that showcased modern dating/culture. But I like the little 'world' the author created with the neighbors and how the h 'got smart' at the end.

Good book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 17, 2019

Verified Purchase

I read Easily Amused as I’ve really started to enjoy this author, the more of her books I read the more I need!

It was quite nice getting to know the characters of King Street. I could understand how Lola felt overwhelmed by them all. It was obvious that it had been closely knitted as a community for some time.

Hmm favourite character? Probably Piper who is a bit more distant from it all. A disliked character would be out of two but without spoilers I can’t tell you!

I enjoyed the twists and tears as well as a good love story! I didn’t laugh out loud but I don’t think I was meant to necessarily, I really enjoyed this story and had to say shh to family members so I could finish reading a ‘really good bit!’

Only but I didn’t ‘get’ was why be left a house when you’re not close? But maybe that says more about myself and family rather than the book!

I’d recommend this book and I know others enjoy it too.

Cute read

A cute story about a woman thrown into a community she wants no part of, when age inherits a house from a great aunt.
Lola moves in, intending to keep herself to herself, but things are never that simple.
Well-meaning neighbours, coupled with an unexpected house guest, a meddling best friend and a sister hell-bent on always one upmanship, make for an easy read about how sometimes you don't realise that what you need has always been right in front of you.

Lacks the drama of good climax

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 15, 2014

Verified Purchase

The story is sweet enough. Lola has everything she needs in her life, but a meaningful relationship with the a member of the opposite sex. So when her younger sister plans to embarrass Lola , it's all hands to the pump for Lola's friends to find her a man.

With a simple, cliche plot, that repeats the Wizard of Oz lesson of not looking further than your own backyard, it's the characters who really make this book, and there's loads of them, all well thought out and believable, although not always likeable. For instance, Lola, the main character, comes across as a whiney brat in the first few pages, and is initially quite unlikeable.

However, the book quickly shapes up to look like a real page turner, with the potential for a great ending, where the spiteful sister gets her comeuppance. Sadly that wasn't the case.

The most dramatic occurrence in the whole book is covered so quickly; that what should have been an all inclusive, blast of a climax, is nothing more than a boiled lettuce leaf, as the author seems to chicken out of writing the big confrontation.

It's a happy ever after of sorts for everyone involved, heavy on the cheese and light on the melodrama ... it lacks intensity. Putting it simply, if this book was a ham salad, you'd be wondering where all the meat was once you'd got through the garnish.

Terrible

This was easily the least amusing book I have ever read. Lola was so unlikeable and the storyline was so boring and the ending was the worst. I nearly stopped reading after every chapter but kept going to see how bad it could actually be. Unfortunately there was no surprise there

Not amused

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 30, 2014

Verified Purchase

I'm afraid I found this lacking in substance and could see the ending from the first few pages. As someone else has said, the last part of the book is very rushed but I kept reading hoping against hope that the author might treat us to a glorious plot twist that would've made the rest worth reading. Sadly, no, and I very much wish I'd given up about a quarter of the way through instead of sticking with it. I usually read a good book in one or two sittings but this took me several days to complete as it just didn't hold my interest for long enough. Although I really didn't like it, I've given it three stars because it wasn't littered with errors and I can see it might appeal to someone looking for an easy read.
