Beth O'Leary
Three women who seemingly have nothing in common find that they're involved with the same man in this smart new rom-com by Beth O'Leary, bestselling author of The Flatshare. Siobhan is a quick-tempered life coach with way too much on her plate. Miranda is a tree surgeon used to being treated as just one of the guys on the job. Jane is a soft-spoken volunteer for the local charity shop with zero sense of self-worth. These three women are strangers who have only one thing in common: they’ve all been stood up on the same day, the very worst day to be stood up—Valentine’s Day. And, unbeknownst to them, they’ve all been stood up by the same man. Once they've each forgiven him for standing them up, they are all in serious danger of falling in love with a man who may have not just one or two but three women on the go.... Is there more to him than meets the eye? Where was he on Valentine’s Day? And will they each untangle the truth before they all get their hearts broken?

"I really enjoyed this! This book is through the perspectives of 3 women who are all on a date on Valentine’s Day and their dates don’t show up. Definitely some surprising twists in this book."

"I thought this would be one way and I was pleasantly surprised with what it actually was! Great book, unique romance "
Arleisha Strauder
"I liked this book! At first I wasn’t sold. The beginning seemed to drag on. It was nice for getting to know the characters but it felt like a lot of build up. The second half brought the story together and was very sweet and also emotional. I didn’t have any idea what the story was about before reading and enjoyed how it all came together in the end. There were some sad themes and some of those events felt a little passed over or abrupt. Overall it’s got some interesting twists and your really feel like you get to know the characters. No spice."

"a decent read! the author writes engagingly and realistically. she references modern things, but it doesn’t feel forced into the text in order to relate to the reader. the relationships feel very real and, though they are imperfect, you can relate to each character. I will say the plot twist is pretty obvious, but just because it’s predictable doesn’t mean it’s not worth the read. It can be slow at times, but, if you can get invested in the characters, the end picks up. my main qualm with it all is the lack of diversity. the characters and relationships feel very whitewashed, which made it hard to relate to it at times. Overall, 3.5/5."

"This book really keeps you guessing. Plot twists have you reconsidering your perceptions up until the very end. "
Erin
"An amazing book that manages to speak about the lingering effects of grief and love. Joseph Carter and the characters around him are a delight to be around. They deserve all of our attention when they speak their stories. "
