Take A Chance On Me by Beth Moran
3.0
Have you ever gone into a book expecting one thing and gotten another? That was the case here. It wasn’t that I didn’t like it, I just felt like the description made me feel like it was going to be one way, and everything I was expecting didn’t come to fruition. Emma is the eldest of 5 sisters and she’s also the last one who is single. She’s had a string of really bad dates and hasn’t even kissed a man in five years.
Cooper has just resigned from his job and come back to his college town, at an awards dinner he runs into the girl he has been in love with for as long as he can remember. Bridget is Emma’s sister and she’s always been taken, but she was always best friends with Cooper and he was firmly in the friend zone. To try to get over his unrequited love, he enrolls in the experiment their department is conducting, like Married at First Sight.
Emma has also decided to enroll in this because her dating life is going no where fast. When Bridget learns they both have enrolled, she’s so excited because her friend and sister should be perfect for each other!
This book pushed the boundaries of awkward for me. I absolutely loved Emma’s family, they were the saving grace of this book. Her Italian mother, her Irish father and her sisters that had problems of their own. Each sister had issues and no one is perfect.
Can getting married at first sight really work? Can Cooper fall in love with someone else even if Bridget is still right under his nose? Unfortunately, this one missed the mark on giving my romantic feels or vibes at all until the very, very end. I wish there was something that jumped out and made me feel swoony, but I did struggle here.
Thank you to Netgalley, Beth Moran and Boldwood Books for an early copy. These opinions are my own.
