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 strangers have something in common: They’ve all been stood up on Valentine’s Day. And, unbeknownst to them, they’ve all been stood up by the same man.
Beth O’Leary has become one my go to rom-com authors. Her books The Flatshare and The Switch are among my favorites thanks to her ability to blend humor, romance, and genuine human struggles into stories with lovable characters and a PG13 spice level. The premise of this book might leave you questioning just how lovable one of the characters actually is, but I promise it’s worth reading through to the end. A great pick for fans of Sophie Kinsella or Emily Henry.

Berkley, 2022. 400 pages. Fiction
Nora Stephens life is books--she's read them all--and she is not that type of heroine. Not the plucky one, not the laidback dream girl, and especially not the sweetheart. In fact, the only people Nora is a heroine for are her clients, for whom she lands enormous deals as a cutthroat literary agent, and her beloved little sister Libby. Which is why she agrees when Libby begs her for a sisters' trip away to an idyllic North Carolina small town. But once they arrive, Nora keeps bumping into Charlie Lastra, a bookish brooding editor from back in the city. It would be a meet-cute if not for the fact that they've met before, and it was definitely not cute.
