About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

Dive in to the feel-good rom-com of the year.

Josh has done everything right. It's New Year's Eve, and he and girlfriend, Jade, have their own pod on the London Eye. He's got the champagne and the truffles. The ring and the romance. And he's just popped the question.

Unfortunately, he gets it wrong.

So horribly wrong that by the time he's back on ground he's single, jobless and homeless. Realising he can't trust his own judgement, Josh decides to put his faith in fate. From now on every choice will be decided by the flip of a coin. It's reckless, scary, liberating and insanely wrong. But Josh has tried the right way and look where he ended up.

And maybe the girl of his dreams really is one flip of a coin away?

A lighthearted and lovely tale

Loved the narration- Jonathan Bailey is so engaging. The story is predictable but charming, i really enjoyed listening to this - it’s not trying to be anything but a lighthearted, sweet and funny rom-com.

Easy listening

A good story, very funny - made me laugh out loud at times. Well narrated but maybe would have liked a bit more characterisation. On the whole though this was an enjoyable listen.

A brilliant and joyful story

I just love books. It’s not often that I find a story that makes me impulsively roar out loud with laughter, but this delightful, well written adventure ticked all the boxes. Not only was the characters believable, but were fantastically brought to life in my head by the gorgeous, articulated and expressive voice of Jonathan Bailey the narrator.
I didn’t want the book to end. Well done indeed for making me smile, and feel that I am not alone on making spontaneous decisions (with or without a special 50p).

Decisions….Decisions

This story is about Josh, a 28 year old man who, after getting a few knocks in life, decides to let the flip of a coin make future decisions. The story is very funny with some laugh out loud moments.
The narration was first class.

such a feel good book

never finished an audiobook so quickly! the plot was cheesy but so lovely. So nice to listen to a rom-com from a male perspective- it set it apart from similar vibe books and put me in mind of a Hugh Grant or Richard Curtis movie. the performance was top tier and it felt really immersive, the writing is really cheeky and witty in places, and I loved all the characters so much- I was grinning so often during this! whole heartedly recommend xxx

Didn’t like the main protagonist

Didn’t like the main protagonist and as the books was VERY focused around him it made for uncomfortable listening most times. Story could have been so much better, missed some depth.
Narrator good though apart from the stupid accents.

Narrator needs to adapt voice!

Feel good story, some laugh out loud moments. The narrator needs to practice adapting his voice for different characters, it was difficult some times to distinguish who was who!
