Story
Gemma didn’t expect her life to look like this. She’s still living with her mother, who steals her leggings and tells her off for leaving crumbs in the butter. After 20 failed interviews she thought she’d got her dream job as a journalist - except it turns out to be writing articles about cats that look like George Clooney. Luckily she has her wonderful boyfriend, Jack, to help her forget just how awful things are. Then Jack dumps her out of the blue. With nothing but her childhood teddy bear, Stanley, and a whole heap of heartbreak, Gemma resolves to turn things around.

Story
As a published novelist, Lila Rose has been writing about fictional weddings all her life. But disaster strikes on her own big day when she hears her philandering fiancé, Daniel, whispering sweet nothings to someone else. With her dream day shattered, all Lila wants to do is run and hide, so she decides to fly solo on her own honeymoon. When Daniel arrives in the resort with his new squeeze, Lila strikes up a ‘showmance’ with hot new movie star Freddie Bianchi. Freddie is perfect for the part, and Lila soon relaxes into her leading lady role.

It's been 10 days, two hours and 43 minutes since Tansy got dumped. Two heartbreaking weeks since Renzo, who made her weak at the knees and dizzy with excitement, found out Tansy’s secret - and ended it on the spot. Since then, she’s spent every evening scrolling through their old photos, drunk texted him 26 times (he stopped reading after five), and lost count of how many packets of Kleenex she’s cried her way through. But while she’s busy pretending, Tansy’s plan is thrown a major curveball.

Seriously, why do guys on dating apps think I want a picture of what’s in their pants? I could open an art gallery with the collection I’ve got. Zoe really doesn’t want to die alone and surrounded by cats. But it’s not looking good: she’s had sex precisely twice in the last year, and her feline friend isn’t the kind of male company she wants in bed.

I almost gave up on love. My ex, who called his private parts ‘Nigel’, was enough to put me off men forever. But then I met Joe. Alice thought she’d found Mr Right. Her blue-eyed boyfriend, Joe, gives her butterflies, makes her bacon sandwiches when she’s hungover and doesn’t have a nickname for any of his body parts. She should have known it was too good to be true. Because one day, Alice and Joe bump into Zoe. According to him, Zoe’s ‘just an old friend’. But Alice saw the way they froze and heard the strange note in Joe’s voice when he said her name.

I thought I was sorted on the life front. I was a heart surgeon with a loving partner and two gorgeous little girls. Except my husband’s version of "loving" is lying, cheating, and sleeping his way around London. Which means I definitely deserve a refund. Unfortunately, moving on isn’t that simple. Just because I know how to operate on a heart doesn’t mean I know how to fix my broken one. Plus, I lost the receipt for him years ago, so I’m definitely getting shortchanged. But now that I’m single, am I ready to mingle?

Summary
He was perfect. Denim blue eyes, a dazzling smile. And he hadn’t sent me a picture of his junk. Which is about as rare, these days, as a dodo.
When Sloane met Myles, everything fell into place. He loved a martini almost as much as she did, shared her passion for four-cheese pizzas, and made her laugh harder than any episode of Friends. She’d found 'The One' at last, and she could finally delete Tinder, forgetting all those waste-of-space men she’d never have to date again.
But then she finds out that Myles has a secret. A very big one.
The fairy tale is over. Her heart is blown to smithereens. Drowning her sorrows in Ben & Jerry’s can only get Sloane so far before she has to decide.... Can she learn to love herself more than she loved the love of her life? And what if, after everything, she’s got Myles - and his secret - all wrong?

terrible
The narrating was so annoying I was skipping through just to get the jist of what was happening. The accents she attempted were so bad I was cringing. She sometimes went in and out of them at the wrong times, was running out of breath, not annunciating etc. In the end I couldn't listen anymore but what I did hear sounded like a predictable story and try-hard humour.

Fun, witty some adorable secondary characters
Light-hearted fun - my first book by Sophie Ranald - I'll certainly look for some of her others provided they have a different narrator.
Good read with some adorable secondary characters.
On to the Narration - just no.
I know the narrator must have been a difficult casting decision as the main female character is Canadian (although she sounded American throughout the book) apparently, the narrator IS English which is astonishing as her Male London accent was worse than anything Dick Van Dyke managed and some of her other UK accents were .... deeply dodgy.

Painfully boring and cheesy
I can’t believe I finished this book. I kept thinking to myself, “ if this book is this boring to read or listen to… How much more boring had it been to actually WRITE it?!” It was extremely slow, paid way more attention to the main character’s work life, and was VERY generic.

Inconsistent character with odd story line
The main character is supposedly a "feminist" to the point she won't change her last name when married, but when she thinks she might have been cheated on she falls apart and blames herself allowing herself to be gaslighted numerous times. But then her feminist side comes back to the extreme when discussing baby options. I still have no idea the purpose of this book. I hate not finishing a book but I was struggling to finish this. This just doesn't flow well and too many things just "happen" and end up okay.
