Summary
What happens when the right girl and the right guy meet at the wrong time?
One thing that can be said about Quinn Pearson is that she has a knack for doing the wrong thing at the wrong time. Like, the worst time ever. Take her job for instance. One little slip of the tongue using the mother of all swear words while reporting the news, and suddenly she finds herself with over 18 million views on YouTube and her employment in jeopardy. If that wasn’t bad enough, when she meets the man of her dreams, she nearly chokes to death on a powdered sugar donut.
Thankfully for Quinn, the dashing Brit, Henry, finds her near death experience quite charming. But just when Quinn thinks her luck is going to change, she finds out her timing is all wrong again. Henry is off limits. Or is he? Maybe it’s time for Quinn to quit settling for what life hands her. Perhaps it's time for her to become more than just a girl.

Very entertaining!
I started this earlier today & was so absorbed by it that I ended up getting nothing else done till it was finished. The story is fun, funny & emotionally compelling - legit, not angsty.
There's a part of the plot that seems overly obvious that I believe most people will figure out pretty quickly, but its resolution is fun, and it's not a make or break weakness for the story.
The ending is a super-sizedly satisfying happily-ever-after!
*Romance level: passionate kisses, nothing graphic
*Language: very minor - a half dozen uses of h-ll & multiple references to an f-bomb incident caught on video but it's never stated or anything
[The narrator does a decent job, though her English accent is a bit...weak...I could bear it except for a few times when she seemed to be trying a little too hard & then it was cringey. The male narrator who abruptly takes Henry's voice at the very end was good, but frankly, the switch was startling]

Not bad but not my cup of tea
I’m not sure how well I actually liked this story. I liked the premise but the actually story itself just wasn’t really my cup of tea.
The main characters, Quinn and Henry, just seemed a bit wishy-washy to me. I guess I couldn’t really relate to them but the potential of the character development was good - it’s just in execution it seemed to fall a bit flat.
I’m not trying to be negative - there were plenty of instances that I enjoyed. Quinn’s interactions with her friends and family for example - I quite liked that she got together regularly with her friends and the support they showed her. The same with her family - there was some friction and strain present in some of their interactions but this was realistic and I liked how it was eventually resolved. I even liked Brady and am glad that they remained friends, but I can’t say I particularly liked how she went about handling that relationship. I thought the villain of the story was well done and I the end result with that was satisfying. Really I guess it just comes down to Quinn and Henry’s roles and their interactions together. It all comes good in the end but it just didn’t sit with me well - it seemed a bit superficial to me and the whole instant attraction (if not love at first site) thing has not a favourite trope of mine.
I listened to an audiobook for this story and on that note I thought the narration was well done for all of the American parts, although I have to admit the English accent wasn’t the best. But then it can’t be easy for an American female to play the part of an English male (or vice versa for that matter) so considering this, I think it was still a good job. Although the epilogue is read by Eli Thorne as the epilogue is written from Henry’s point of view.. Up till that point the entire story was written from Quinn’s point of view and so was narrated by Holly Warren. Again, not sure how I liked this. The epilogue itself being written from Henry’s point of view I quite enjoyed but the switch in narration threw me. Seemed a bit odd to have just six minutes of the book done in a different voice but it’s a different style I haven’t come across before so could be I’m just not used to it.
This is the second book in the series. I haven’t read the first one but from all I can tell this doesn’t affect this story and it can easily be read as a stand-alone.
I received a free audiobook of this story however this in no way influenced my opinion and I am under no obligation to leave this review.
