A Valentine's Day card left for the wrong person is officially the only form of miscommunication I will accept in my romances from here on out. Abby Jimenez is one of my favorite romance writers, and even in a short novella, she does not disappoint.
I loved the interaction between Holly and John, the two main characters. Even though their time face-to-face is brief, I loved the build up and connection they established before they even met in person. Leaving notes and gifts on Holly's car was just super cute. I also loved the little connection to the first novella in this series by way of communication being sent to the wrong person. It was a cute tie-in to the previous book while definitely coming across as it's own, unique story.
Jimenez worked in a lot of her usual romance tropes, albeit in a shorter fashion: a main character in the medical field, an adorable animal sidekick. I loved that these elements I've come to associate with Jimenez managed to still make it into her part of the Improbable Meet-Cute collection. Despite some heavier topics, Worst Wingman Ever was a fun, quick romance that will make you hope for your own, wrongly-placed card on your car.
