This book didn’t keep me entertained. Laura (the main character) is unlikable and seems to live in this bubble of what she wants and believes is right and she won’t listen to anyone else. Although I personally believe in fate, I’m also very logical and it just came across that Laura never deeply thought about anything.
The storyline was also really predictable (as it is with most romance novels) but because the main female character didn’t interest me, I struggled to finish this book. Took me almost a month when I can usually finish books in 1-2 days.
Ted, Gerry and Sandy were the redeeming characters in this story and I loved them. Dee and Vanya were also nice additions, especially because they seemed like the “angel and devil” on Laura’s shoulders.

It was just alright. I mean the story idea was cute but I would have done SO many things differently. There were just so many goofy and unrealistic things that happened or were so cringy. And there was SO much detail about things, it was so long and there were so many side characters they gave so much time and dialogue to that I just didn’t care about. I needed more love, less detail.

Super cute and laugh out loud funny! If you get the audiobook, the narrator is brilliant!

I was expecting this to be more of a rom com than it truly was. It felt more like a women’s fiction book. Lots of focus on family stuff. There were a lot of sad things going on as well. Laura’s journey was cool to watch though. I loooooved Ted. I wanted so much more from their romance.

Great book, great premise, and it was great a good read to help pass the time on the plane at the beach while I was on vacay! The last 1/4 of the book got a little slow but overall I enjoyed it!

Really liked this. Light, low-stakes getaway book. My only complaint is there wasn't enough of the love interest. He was perfect and I needed more of him!

Simply adorable, everything I could hope for in a rom-com! Laura hosts a show on Love Life titled How Did You Meet, featuring couples and how they found love. When Laura heads to the picturesque Channel Island of Jersey for a story, she finds herself wrapped up in her own meet-cute. Could this be the start of her very own happily ever-after?
