Reviewed by Caroll-Ann📖 The No-Show by Beth O‘Leary ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫✨ 3,75 stars I went into this book completely blind, and I honestly don’t think I could have guessed any of the twists before they were revealed. The story follows three different women and their complicated “love” stories with a man named Joseph Carter. On Valentine’s Day, each of them is expecting a date with him, but Joseph never shows up for any of them. At first, I thought this would be a light, cute romance, but it’s so much more than that. To be honest, I absolutely hated Joseph in the beginning. I don’t want to give too much away, but I was really frustrated with him. Then the plot twists started unfolding, and my entire perspective changed. Suddenly, I found myself feeling for him instead. It reminded me a little of the twist in Crazy, Stupid, Love., where everything finally clicks into place and all the pieces come together. I genuinely gasped when the big reveals happened because I never saw them coming. I ended up enjoying this book a lot and would recommend going into it completely blind. It’s one of those stories that’s best experienced without knowing too much beforehand and discovering the journey for yourself.
