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?

An enjoyable that requires no effort. Listen to chance encounters. Jasmine Guillory has a formula that works and I'm able to predict what will happen next but I like that. Some books are pure birds tweeting and coy smiles before the passion. Totally relaxing. Just switch off the rest of life and enjoy a sweet romance and then if you're like me, you might even dream about your own:)

Easy

Enjoyed Carlos and Nik's story almost as much as drew and alexa's and have now just started Maddie and Theo's in book 3!

A lovely sequel

An easy listen once I got used to the narrator. Her character voices were a bit off putting.

Good fun

Loved the fact that Carlos got his own story after reading The Wedding Date. It was a nice read and liked the fact that the characters felt like people I know.

Enjoyable follow up

A bit repetitive in places. made me laugh out loud. Romantic but not over gushy

easy read

Gave up at chap 11 nothing remotely interesting happens. Feels like it goes on forever, no mystery no intrigue, just a couple going on boring dates where nothing ever happens waste of time

Poorly written, repetitive and boring

I personally didn’t enjoy this at all, very repetitive, predictable and the “girl boss” main character, token gay character and weird gender stereotypes made all the characters pretty unlikeable and surface level. The ‘comedy’ parts were not my sense of humour and the romance scenes made listening uncomfortable. I guess it’s nice to have strong female friends as characters but the entire basis of the friendships were sarcastic comments and taunting which become tedious very quickly

Repetitive and boring

This book came highly recommended and I was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately it didn’t even remotely live up to the hype. It’s so poorly written, predictable and full of cliches that it feels jarring at times and has no narrative flow. The characters lack any depth, I found it impossible to feel anything other than mild irritation about them.
I didn’t enjoy the narration either but I’m not sure how much that has to do with the narrator or the poor writing.

A Massive Disappointment.
