The main character was just so self indulgent that I had a hard time relating to him, but I enjoyed the quirks of the supporting characters and I liked the ending a lot. I waffled between 3 and 4. Might adjust after I think about it.

In Summary, this book is just a very pathetic attempt at humor. There was nothing remotely funny in this book. I wish I could get back the time, I wasted on this book.

Super cute and funny! It was refreshing to read a romance from a man's point of view
So, I totally read this in a week. It’s a light and easy read, led by the humorous narrative of the main character, Josh. I wouldn’t call it a mind-blowing gem of a novel, as I did find some fairly typical tropes present at parts. However, the premise is just unique enough to rope you into a nonetheless cute story.
I will say, without spoiling anything, the latter half of the story takes some unexpected twists and turns, I guess making up for the somewhat slower-paced (but still relevant) events of the first half. It does have a satisfying ending, though.
If you’re interested in a male lead rom-com, with a quirky mix of self-deprecating humor, charm, and sobering moments to balance it all out, this is the book for you.

What could be more romantic than proposing to your girlfriend on New Year's Eve on the London Eye? A private capsule for just the two of you with champagne and chocolates on standby. It would be romantic if your girlfriend said yes instead of no. That's the situation Josh finds himself in when his girlfriend of three tears not only says no but that she's been seeing someone else. If that wasn't bad enough it's Jade's flat that they live in and her dad's hotel that they both work at.
As the New Year rings in Josh has no girlfriend, no job and nowhere to live. After realising that maybe he hasn't made the best decisions he opts to flip a coin throughout the next year to help guide him through all of life's decisions. Not always giving him the best decision but at least he can blame it on the coin.
Follow Josh throughout the year as he attempts to rebuild his life. From what he wants to do for a job to finding love again. Told from Josh's point of view the storyline struggled a little for me. With a funny relationship with his parents, his friendships and then chasing after a girl he'd met once.

Poor Josh, after a hideous snub from his girlfriend Jade, ends in him being homeless, jobless and his self esteem at an all time low, he decides he must take drastic action.
His friends think he should just ‘find someone else’ and he decides that if life can change so quickly then he will just flip a coin instead of procrastinating over decisions like her has previously.
It is a very funny book. I liked Josh he is genuinely a nice guy and I loved Pap and Josh’s parents particularly his Mum who insists on the engagement party regardless of any engagement and the whole Valentines Day episode is so awful that you had to laugh or you would cry.
Things go from bad to worse when he goes on a Tinder date with Emma and he takes her home, as he thinks his parents are away.
The school reunion was a perfect example of why I have never been to one. Awful !
However, a chance meeting at the London Marathon has Josh looking for his dream woman will her succeed ? When his friends enter him into a quiz show Josh hopes that his luck will finally change.
The setting in Bristol was great as I am from the South West and I do like a book set in an area I am familiar with.This book was a real breath of fresh air, I liked the perspective of Josh and it was great to read about a man’s disasters in love for a change and it made me laugh out loud.
This is a perfect read if you are looking for something to raise your spirits and make you smile. I loved its feelgood perfection.
