Publisher's Summary
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, best-selling 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?

Story
Can you fall in love like they do in the movies? It's Evie Summers' job to find out. Because if she can't convince her film agency's biggest client, Ezra Chester, to write the romantic-comedy screenplay he owes producers, her career will be over. The catch? He thinks rom-coms are unrealistic - and he'll only put pen to paper if Evie shows him that it's possible to meet a man in real life the way it happens on the big screen. Cynical Evie might not believe in happily ever after, but she'll do what it takes to save the job that's been her lifeline.

Minnie Cooper knows two things with certainty: that her New Year's birthday is unlucky, and that it's all because of Quinn Hamilton, a man she's never met. Their mothers gave birth to them at the same hospital just after midnight on New Year's Day, but Quinn was given the cash prize for being the first baby born in London in 1990 - and the name Minnie was meant to have, as well. With luck like that, it's no wonder each of her birthdays has been more of a disaster than the one before.

What the critics say
“With thoroughly likable characters—even Joseph becomes appealing—this plot-driven novel is fast-paced and engaging throughout. Full of both humorous and heart-wrenching moments, the novel is packed with the perfect mix of contradictions to keep it engaging... An expertly plotted romantic surprise about self-forgiveness and second chances.”—Kirkus Reviews
“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.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review
“O‘Leary’s latest feel-good romp involves three women, each stood up by the same man on Valentine’s Day. Secrets are uncovered, relationships are tested and happiness is found in unexpected ways.”—The Washington Post

Different approach
As I'm not a real fan of the romance genreok on audible, and that may have helped. The book follows three very different women who are all involved with the same man. Siobhan is a quick thinking lifestyle coach and her back story, as it is revealed, we learn leaves her very vulnerable and afraid to let herself fall for someone. Miranda is a tree surgeon, and her job takes her up in the air to the tops of trees. Miranda also has a backstory, and handles her disappointments and search for a soul mate by her job. Jane is a severely damaged young woman who is under-employed at a charity shop and she is trying to put her life back together again after a traumatic breakup with undertones of coercion and assault. Each of the women really don't don't the man that they are involved with, but a single traumatic incident brings everything to light. Each woman eventually finds their soul-mate and things all fall into place at last. I did enjoy this story.

Did not see that coming
Reading through the description, you think this will be the type of book you can predict the ending to, but the way the author connects all the dots…I can honestly say I would not have come to that conclusion.
I would definitely recommend this book. There’s humour, a range of emotions, and thought behind a plot that tugs at your heartstrings.
The narration was pretty bang-on and having a different voice for each main character helped following each change of point of view.

Not the storyline I was expecting
It's hard to review this title without spoilers. I liked that there were four different narrators, one for each character's perspective. I found the characters interesting, but since the book was divided into three different storylines (one from each woman's perspective), I never really got into any one person's story. Some of the events were funny, but overall the storylines were fairly heavy. It is not a lighthearted romance. It's a book about the challenges of being in a romantic relationship- or even having a friendship- when you've been hurt before.
***Spoiler Below***
One of the main characters dies. I could see it coming, but it was still really sad, and I'm not sure I would have listened to the book when I did if I had known there would be an "on page" death.

Not My Favourite Beth O’Leary Novel
That would be The Flatshare, with The Switch being a close second. I guess I spent a lot of it not liking when Joseph came around that until the big twist, I just wanted to finish the book and move on. That’s why I didn’t like the story as much.
