Three women who seemingly have nothing in common find that they're involved with the same man in this smart new rom-com by Beth O'Leary, bestselling author of The Flatshare.
Siobhan is a quick-tempered life coach with way too much on her plate. Miranda is a tree surgeon used to being treated as just one of the guys on the job. Jane is a soft-spoken volunteer for the local charity shop with zero sense of self-worth.
 
These three women are strangers who have only one thing in common: they’ve all been stood up on the same day, the very worst day to be stood up—Valentine’s Day. And, unbeknownst to them, they’ve all been stood up by the same man.
 
Once they've each forgiven him for standing them up, they are all in serious danger of falling in love with a man who may have not just one or two but three women on the go....
 
Is there more to him than meets the eye? Where was he on Valentine’s Day? And will they each untangle the truth before they all get their hearts broken?

      Starred review from February 28, 2022
      Three distinctive women unknowingly fall in love with the same man in this captivating romance from bestseller O’Leary (The Road Trip). Life coach Siobhan Kelly meets charismatic Joseph Carter in London and falls hard after a passionate night together. Miranda Rosso, a free-spirited professional tree surgeon, also feels committed to Joseph despite suspecting that he’s keeping secrets. And shy, bookish Jane Miller is determined to keep her flirtatious relationship with Joseph platonic, though deep down, she wishes they were something more. When Joseph doesn’t show up to his Valentine’s dates with any of the three women, his erratic behavior casts doubt on his relationships, and his partners wonder if there’s more to Joseph than he’s letting on. O’Leary pulls off an impressive balancing act, unraveling each woman’s backstory while meticulously drawing connections between them and celebrating them for their differences. The attention to detail adds depth to each character—even Joseph will win readers over—and the twisty plot keeps readers both guessing what will happen next and rooting for happy endings across the board. This is a knockout. Agent: Tanera Simons, Darley Anderson Literary.

      In O'Leary's (The Road Trip) latest engaging romance, three women are stood up on Valentine's Day by the same man. The women are Siobhan, Miranda, and Jane, all of whom were hoping to deepen their relationship with Joseph, who is clearly not what he seems. The audio features brilliant performances by four skilled narrators--Evanna Lynch, Heather Long, Kathryn Drysdale, and Luke Thompson. Although it is sometimes distracting to hear the narrators voice the characters so differently, they work together to bring O'Leary's unconventional premise to life. The novel is billed as romance, and listeners will get plenty of that, but they will also be intrigued by the unexpected twists and turns and the women's fascinating backgrounds. O'Leary skillfully weaves clues and foreshadowing together to keep listener's emotional tensions high, without revealing her final hand too soon. Narrators Lynch, Long, and Drysdale are evenly matched in skill, making each perspective shift welcome and unique. VERDICT Although they may have a favorite character, O'Leary's surprising romance will keep listeners invested in each gripping journey as they try to puzzle out a happy ending for all.--Matthew Galloway
