i’m conflicted here!!!! i kind of hated the first 2/3. i just couldn’t understand why we were following the story in the way we were, it was boring and annoying and overall pretty boring. and then that last 30% floored me. i LOVE a good plot twist like this one, and it was executed incredibly, but a maybe bit late? i just feel like i spent so long being told and believing one thing, and then i had to completely reevaluate. and that was difficult so far into the book. But i did really enjoy the ending, and i love beth o’learys writing enough that i flew through the first 2/3. so overall a minor success, that could’ve been a favourite book.

Casi se ha ido al fondo de la estantería con los libros sin terminar. Un libro de 400 páginas en el que no pasa nada hasta la número 300 y que el grandioso plot-twist se ve venir desde bien temprano, lo cual le quita toda la gracia.
Los personajes son bien planos, no he llegado a conectar con ninguno y sobre todo el protagonista, que no tiene ningún tipo de personalidad. Me interesaban más las historias de las chicas que no tenían nada que ver con Carter que lo que pasara con él.
A pesar de todo eso, es fácil de leer y (aunque personalmente se me ha hecho larguísimo) no es demasiado largo. Bien a caballo entre un intento de drama y un intento de romance mal ejecutado. Si no esperas una comedia romántica o romanticismo de cualquier tipo, este libro es para ti.

3.5 stars rounded up to 4.
The No-Show starts and end on Valentine's Day. After three women are stood up on Valentine's Day, they have to decide if they are willing to forgive their date for being a no-show. What they don't know (but us readers do) is that they've all been stood up the same man.
The No-Show was so intriguing. I spent a good 3/4 of the book trying to decide which one couple I thought had the best chance of making it work, rooting for one of the women to dump him and date someone else, and just generally trying to figure it all out. I did not see the twist coming at all and when hit, I gasped.
And then the ending, god the ending. I don't want to spoil anything, but it hit me right in the gut. It was so unexpected and so good.
