Last week I had the opportunity to read and review a debut author's first book. Introducing Hayley Quinn and The last first date. It can be found here Amazon,Barnes and Noble, Waterstones
The synopsis reads as follows:
One date. One missed chance. One mission to find love. At 31-years-old, Helen Pines is far from where she thought she would be. Whilst her ex-boyfriend is now engaged, Helen’s still eating ready meals for one, wistfully dreaming of her last first date. Determined to give online dating a go, she matches with drop-dead-gorgeous Brody, and they hit it off immediately. One date later, Helen’s heart is still singing. Brody’s everything she’s looking for in a man – sexy, charismatic, and the perfect gentleman. But then she receives an error message on the app… all her contacts have been deleted. With nothing but Brody’s name and job title to go on, Helen is determined to track him down. But despite the initial chemistry, Helen realises she knows surprisingly little about her mystery man… Was it really love-at-first like, or will she find a new love along the way? An utterly hilarious laugh-out-loud romance that will have you grinning from ear to ear from the first page to the last! Fans of Our Stop and Mhairi McFarlane will love this book.
My review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Helen is tired of being single so her eccentric grandmother encourages her to join a dating app. The morning after a great first date the dating app crashes and all the data is lost! Will Helen track down her date? I requested this book because of the online dating app theme and that Helen is a baking blogger, I love food themes and I met my husband online so it’s a topic close to my heart. I felt so sorry for Helen and her complete lack of confidence and self depreciation. Many times I said outloud "Oh Helen, of course you're good enough!" I loved Nanny G and her friend Elle even if she is very blunt, she did want the very best for her friend. I quite liked Brody, but quickly changed my mind once the "Knight on a shiny yellow bike" came onto the scene. At first Helen seemed quite 'young' for her age but I'm so glad she grew as a person and realised her value. I truly liked this debut book and the messages it had. Never dismiss what you do and Happiness is the path, not the destination, to name 2. I look forward to reading Hayley Quinn's future books.
