About this listen

A Reese Witherspoon x Hello Sunshine Book Club Pick!

A fun and flirty novel from New York Times best seller Jasmine Guillory, author of The Wedding Date and one of Cosmopolitan's 33 Books to Get Excited About in 2018.

For fans of Jo Watson, Sarah Morgan and Holly Martin, about the perils of public proposals and the beauty of an unexpected second chance.

When freelance writer Nikole Paterson goes to a Dodgers game in LA with her actor boyfriend, the last thing she expects is a scoreboard proposal. Saying no isn't difficult - they've been dating for only five months, and he can't even spell her name correctly. The hard part is having to face a stadium full of disappointed fans....

At the game with his sister, Carlos Ibarra comes to Nik's rescue and rushes her away from a camera crew. He's even there for her when the video goes viral and Nik's social media goes crazy. Believing that neither of them are looking for anything serious, Nik embarks on an epic rebound with the handsome doctor, filled with food, fun and fantastic sex. But when their glorified hookups start breaking the rules, will they be brave enough to admit what they're really feeling?

Fine, but lacking.

Not enough drama or conflict, there's nothing really exciting about the story or characters.

Not for me

Story is banal. Narration is grating with its overly cutesy and confiding style. Chick lit at its lamest.

Not for me

This book felt like a sloppy teen rom com. I’d give this one a miss!

Didn't connect with the main character

I'm not one to judge a character until I finish the very last page, but I was seriously disappointed.
Nik didn't click with me – I didn't like her character and I just felt like it was completely a miss.
Her personality was a bit too much for me, some situations were VERY awkward and I felt as though at times she was trying too much.
Her jokes and some plots flew over my head, and it took me a span of 3 weeks to finish the book.

*spoilers*
Others may enjoy her personality, but her prejudice towards ALL doctors (especially a pediatrician) over an ex who was a surgeon (?) OR 'instantly feeling better' because Drew's fiancee was "black too" & surprised no one 'told her' – her not talking to her friends because she didn't want them to be "right", to the point where she stressed herself out – especially telling Carlos not to 'tell her what to do', or 'tell her what to eat' when he knew more (eg. cooking & he has an overprotective personality, who can blame him for suggesting her to change a lock??) than her, because 'he's a guy' was seriously tedious.

(This is my opinion, respect it.)

Awkward

Gave up midway - the main caharacterr is all a bit awkward and try hard. I found it more suitable to teenage reading.

Loved it! The perfect quarantine listen

I sorted some comments on narration and was surprised - but I listen at 1.5 speed - and it was perfect! Snappy, sparky, fast paced - and the female lead was like looking in a mirror 😂
