'As a rule, she prefers plants and cats to humans these days. They’re both species with a much better track record.'
This was so far from what I was expecting, I had to take a step back and think - wow! Did I really just listen to that! I thought the No-Show would be a rom-com all the way, but it was that and so, so much more. It took me until at least halfway through the audiobook, if not further, to realise what I was listening to. I can't say much more because I don't want to spoil it for those of you who may read it. Essentially, it's about the same man, standing up three women on Valentine's Day - that's all I'm going to say!
It's heartwarming, heart-wrenching, and completely original. Beth O'Leary is adept at putting these thoughts in your head, making you believe the story is going in one direction. In fact, she gives you whiplash as she throws you in the completely opposite direction and breaks your heart.
If you're a crier, then you'll sob at this book. If you're more hardhearted, then I'm sure you will have at least a tear somewhere at the back of your eyes!
About the Book
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 let him back into their lives and are in serious danger of falling in love with a man who seems to have not just one or two but three women on the go....
Is there more to him than meets the eye? And will they each untangle the truth before they all get their hearts broken?
