It was the one we’ve all been waiting for and I was lucky enough to read an exclusive proof copy of the most highly anticipated reads of 2022! And here is what I thought…
SYNOPSIS: 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. Is there more to him than meets the eye? And will they each untangle the truth before they all get their hearts broken?
REVIEW: I am obsessed with the characters that Beth O’Leary so cleverly creates so you can imagine my excitement when I realised that with The No-Show, we are treated to three very different characters whose paths cross unexpectedly.
I was actually lucky enough to go to Beth’s Manchester Q&A event and during this event, Beth was saying how this book is her most exciting book yet because it was her most challenging book to write. Which obviously opens the book up to have some sort of plot twist, and I literally spent the whole time guessing what was going to happen which had me hooked from page one. I actually ended up guessing the plot twist about half way through but I thought that Beth executed it excellently and even though I guessed it, I didn’t know how she was going to do it so the pay-off was still incredibly good.
Like usual, we are treated to well-developed and three-dimensional characters who I instantly fell in love with. Even Joseph Carter who I changed my opinion of throughout the book but ended up loving him and his character development when I finished the book but I’ve been seeing so many different opinions of Joseph and his story so I’ll be interested in hearing yours if you end up reading this one!
Overall, I think this book is Beth’s best book yet and would compare it to Flatshare in the way it had me hooked and completely invested in all of the characters. I loved the execution of the big twist and it's no surprise that with this twist, the characters and the emotional rollercoaster this book took me on, it took me less than a day to devour this story. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
