I loved Extra Credit!! I laughed so much while reading this fun, light-hearted, sexy book!! The characters are everything!!! The chemistry between Will and Chelle can't be beat. I absolutely adore Chelle. She has the best personality and outlook on life. Will is all kinds of hot!! The way he cares for his daughter...swoon!!!
This was my first book my Poppy Dunne but I know it will not be my last.

What a fun book! Chelle is my favorite kind of heroine- smart, funny, caring and quirky. Will comes off badly in their first meeting, but their second meeting goes much better. Chelle is the substitute drama teacher at his daughter's school. Will wants to be more involved in his daughter's life which includes a parent-teacher conference and then volunteering to help with the school play. This gives them a chance to get to know each other and leads to our HEA. I highly recommend Extra Credit.

I haven't laughed this hard while reading in a long time. Poppy Dunne's humor is right up my alley. I love Chelle's inner monologue and Will is Hot! Hot! Hot!
I adore heroines who are quirky and awkward and completely oblivious to just how likeable they are to everyone they come into contact with. This describes Chelle to a T. The way she blurts random thoughts at the most inconvenient times had me in stitches, but it was her inner monologue that had pushed me over the edge.
Then there is Will. In the beginning of the story I really thought he might end up being your typical suit, uptight and overworked. However, when we get to his POV he proved to be anything but. I fell in love with him straight away. The love he had for Amelia, the respect he showed for his ex and the sweetness he showed towards Chelle combined with his down to earth sense of humor and all around sexiness make him an a total swoonworthy hero.
The banter between Chelle and Will was perfect and don't even get me started on the heat between them. Scorching! Add in the earthy, hippie-like LA scene surrounding them, a semi-crazy ex in Suzonne and the adorable Amelia and this story had it all. Sweet, heat, smart and sexy and all around HILARIOUS, this is a book I'll be rereading time and time again.
Poppy Dunne is quickly becoming a go-to author for me and I can't wait to see what she has in store for us next!!

If you’re looking for a wry and witty book filled with humor and a sexy romance Extra Credit is the perfect read. I had yet to read Poppy until now, and she has such a unique writing style that really grabs at the reader and delves deep into each character. They felt real, relatable, and incredibly poignant in their portrayal simply by the way she put them on the page. Because of this, their chemistry (whether between Will and Chelle, or with either of them involving his daughter, Amelia) was off the charts.
I loved that Poppy wasn’t afraid to shy away from the the embarrassing or awkward, but instead celebrated its normalcy by integrating it into every character in a very normal way. It was fun, humorous, and wildly easy to read. I can be somewhat picky when it comes to new-to-me authors, but I had no issue jumping right into this story and its characters. The romance and humor blended together in an effortless way that neither felt forced or as if it outshone the other.
The side characters, the setting, the lifestyle were all great elements to the story, but what sold it was the romance between Chelle and Will. Their banter and slow, but wild romance came about beautifully as the story progressed. Readers will love Extra Credit and fall hard for every character and their intrinsic uniqueness. It has every element of a great romance with a perfect delivery.

My first Dunne that I got as a freebie and it was hilarious in ridiculous ways which tracks since Chelle's parents are professional clowns and she was the kid who wanted to run away to live with accountants when others wanted to run away to the circus. I loved Chelle's inner monologue, Amelia was a rather unbelievably sweet 10 yo and Will was her doting dad.

Opposites do in fact attract. Extra Credit is testament to this with the quirky, ditzy, think strange thoughts, theatre teacher Chelle and uptight, eat stock markets for breakfast Will. The two meet at Runyon canyon and already their differences are noticeable. As fate would have it, Chelle happens to be the new substitute theatre teacher at Will's daughter school, and they meet again when Will's daughter "acts" (pun intended) up during class. This book was funny with Chelle taking the cake with her weird inner monologues and random blurting of things that at times made no sense. The attraction between the two of them was undeniable but there were pesky problems like Will's ex-wife and the fact that intra-personal relationships are a no-no at the school. All in all it was a nice and enjoyable read.

I don't know what it is with book covers lately the majority seem just...uninspiring. There isn't anything wrong with this cover per se it's just boring. Another hot man body slapped on with boring typography added. This book was AMAZEBALLS, and it deserves a cover that expresses that. Nothing about this cover gives you a HINT of what the book is about.
My cover issues aside, this book was HILARIOUS! Chelle and Will's back and forth banter, as well as their inner thoughts, had me laughing my butt off more times than I can count. It was well-written and nicely paced. Had some witty dialogue as well as some hot sex scenes. 
We also have two very likable main characters. Chelle was awesome. She was funny. She was sweet. She didn't put up too much resistance to Will. I loved her. Will (who amazingly enough WASN'T a manwhore) was total book boyfriend material. He was charming. He was hot. He was funny. He was a great Dad, AND he was respectful of his ex. Another thing that is like a unicorn in romance books lately. My one and only complaint is I wished we would have gotten a further into the future look at this couple. I would have liked to have seen a baby or two.
Two HUGE thumbs up from yours truly.
