"Grace Shields keeps her hectic life manageable one way and one way only: she makes lists, lots of them. Lists of her favorite Jackie Chan movies. Lists of her boyfriend's Pros and Cons. Lists about her favorite places to get a pizza. To Grace, each one is a very serious matter. And that's why no one ever reads the lists. Well, no one except for a few people who got a hold of them by accident. . . 1. Her best friend Bernsie, who understands the lists might be the only thing keeping Grace out of an asylum; 2. A child psychologist she was forced to see after her father passed away and the listing become more than just a hobby; 3. A very-nearly-almost fiance who left Grace because of the lists. Now, as Grace struggles to deal with a career that's getting away from her and the frustration of living with her brother George, the lists are all she can do to cope. Enter Colin Kilbourne, a free-spirited musician with a knack for ruffling Grace's pristine feathers. And spilling coffee on her favorite work clothes. Immediately drawn to his carefree, stress-free attitude, Grace knows they'd be mismatched in every possible way. But that mischievous charm is hard to resist. What's a girl to do when the lists tell you to do one thing and your hearts tells you another?."--… (more)

The main character's quirky, fun voice won me over in this romantic comedy set in Boston. Full review here: http://tahleenreads.blogspot.com/2012/01/review-love-unlisted-by-stephanie.html ( )

Love Unlisted had what seemed to be a cute premise. A hyper-organized event planner falls for a laid back musician who helps her stop worrying and learn to live without lists.

Instead, a young woman suffering from severe mental health issues stemming from her father's untimely death is bullied and berated by everyone in her life for her coping method. Instead of encouraging her to seek professional help, her cardboard love interest steals her property, tells her she's too co-dependent, almost gets her fired, and then decides he can love her even if she's crazy. How charitable.

Then there's a sub-plot about her best friend falling in love with her shiftless brother and vice versa. It's given about as much time as my paragraph. ( )
