Summary

She’s single. But it can still be complicated....

Penny Bridge has always been unlucky in love.

So she can’t believe it when she meets a remarkable new man.

Followed by another.

And then another....

And all of them want to date her.

Penny has to choose between three. But are any of them 'The One'?

The best-selling author of Our Stop will have you laughing, crying and cheering Penny on in this funny and feel-good exploration of hope, romance and the trust it takes to finally fall in love. Perfect for fans of Mhairi McFarlane’s If I Never Met You and Beth O’Leary’s The Flatshare.

Great book!

Another great book from LJW (yeah, that’s what I call her now) Think I might be in love a little bit with Carrie Hope Fletcher’s voice. Really enjoyed this book.

Easy predictable read

Easy read check, likeable characters mostly - sometimes frustrating (which I find is actually refreshing), predictable storyline check. A nice break from monotony of another lockdown. Easy to read whilst doing chores or drifting off to sleep without having to worry if you miss 5/10 minutes of listening.

Very boring

There was just no story really, it was so predictable and I didn’t take to the main character. It started off ok but very quickly became dull and didn’t keep my interest at all. I listened right to the end, hoping it would pick up but unfortunately it just irritated me!

Another hit for Laura Jane Williams

Absolutely loved it!! Just as I did Our Stop! Beautifully written and just what I needed in a feel good storyline! Really liked how ‘in with the times’ the story was too with some of its characters and Penny’s decision at the end. Write more please!!

A mixed bag really!

I enjoyed this book from the beginning until the events leading to Penny’s move. It then took me a while to get back into the story. I was so invested in her story with Francesco, I lost interest in the muddle of her story with the other men. I was frustrated at her reaction to Francesco’s declaration but glad they managed to sort things out and I feel that things probably happened in the right order for Penny to know her authentic feelings in the end.

However, due to the lack of momentum in the middle, I would’ve probably put this down had it not been read by my favourite author/actress Carrie Hope Fletcher with her excellent tone and pace. The way that Carrie read the story was the reason I stayed.

2021 Reads: Didn't Expect To Love This, But I did!

A combination of an interesting premise and online hype drew me to this title. I unexpectedly found myself quite emotionally invested, in the life and relationships of Penny Bridge. I found it compelling listening and genuinely couldn't stop - thoroughly enjoyable.

Although I did feel the confrontation or resolution scene in the bar was, for me personally, a little far-fetched. I'll definitely look out for more titles by Laura Jane Williams in future. Carrie Hope Fletcher's narration style was a perfect fit for the project.

A surprising hit all round!

A joy!

Penny is pure joy - I adored her and her story. Exactly the feel good story for a difficult year.

It's nice. It's funny. It's sweet.

It's an easygoing novel that's fun to listen to. My facial expressions I'm sure were something to behold during particular hairy moments of this audiobook and I'd recommend it as a light read. I can confirm it was definitely enjoyable. Some of the accents were a little annoying at times but at least you knew which character was which.

Easy and enjoyable listening

An enjoyable listen! So rarely are the Midlands and the Peak District mentioned in chick lit. It all happens in London so I was appreciative of things happening in quieter areas. Love Carries narration. Another enjoyable listen from Laura Jane Williams I will be looking for her next one!

interesting premise with good characters

the story was entertaining an decently written, however I was frustrated with the characters decisions and motivations at times, meaning it took me a long time to finish it. The ending was the best outcome for all characters, but I found it a bit too wishy-washy and fairytale esc, making it disappointing.
