Enjoyed this book. I did not see the ending coming. Not sure what I expected but did not expect that. I didn't love the characters and it definitely isn't a rom com but I did enjoy how their stories all linked up.

Don’t let the cover trick you. I really enjoyed the intertwining stories and there is a deeper story than what first appears.

This story is told from the pov of three women who are all dating the same guy,  Joseph Carter. They have never met, nor have any connection with each other except all being stood up by Joseph on Valentine's Day. 

Siobhan is a headstrong, independent Life Coach afraid of commitment due to having her heart broken before. 

Miranda is a tree surgeon who is seen as one of the guys by those she works with. 

Jane, a timid girl with no confidence in herself, volunteers in a local charity shop and has a past that threatens to catch up with her. 

What is it with Joseph Carter that makes all these women want to fall in love with him even when he keeps letting them down? 

The characters were all very likeable and I thought the plot twist was very clever. I had no idea the story was going in this direction but I loved it. Some very sad moments that left me reaching for the tissues by the end. Overall a light-hearted rom-com with a clever twist.

Another good easy read from Beth. I didn't see what the plot twist was going to be and I think it's best to go in blind without knowing the plot so it doesn't get revealed. Felt like the ending was slightly rushed though.
