Fran and Ollie meet when they apply for a job at Viral Hive and both get it. They become friends as both have significant others. Set in London, I really liked the English vibe.

I enjoyed the book, that first. And I liked the writing style. It has a realistic feel to it. But I think I was in the mood for a really romantic story and Ollie and Fran just are not even together near the end of the book. It is more about their relationships with others. Yes, it has a happy ending, do not worry. But I wish the timeline had been different.
I do look forward to reading another book by this author as I like her style.

When Fran meets Ollie at the Viral Hive interview, she's simultaneously attracted to him and dislikes him all at once. She's keen to beat him, and is delighted to find out she got the job! Bad news is, so did he - on another team.

Despite their initial differences, the pair become fast friends. Her team tease her, and although she denies it - she's got a boyfriend after all, and Ollie a girlfriend - they cannot deny their attraction to one another and things get complicated.

This was a really warm, engaging read and I like how Fran's character in particular developed over the course of the book. I would definitely read other work by this author.

Most people know I am a huge thriller type reader but I gave this book a chance. I am so glad I did! It is very sweet, charming and just all around heartwarming book. This book didn’t take me long to read, it took about a day to finish. It sucked me in from the beginning, and I couldn’t seem to put it down.

This book show you joys of online dating, and the truth behind it. It shows you that it isn’t alway rainbows and butterflies at first that you most people literally just want the hook up.

Ollie and Fran had chemistry from the beginning but they were just friends. They worked so well together and they just clicked. They were both dating people when they met so of course at first they were just your typical work partners and that was it. They weren’t friends but eventually they grew to like each other and were inseparable. Sometimes the person you are meant to be with can be right in front of you and you just don’t know. Sometimes the timing isn’t always perfect but eventually if you are meant to be together you will be. Their chemistry was amazing, and kept me on my toes and wanting more.

This book was amazing, and highly recommend it if you are wanting a charming romance to fall in love with.

Although it took me a bit to get into it, Swipe Right was such a sweet, heartwarming read. Like I’ve mentioned before, any contemporary novel that follows a young women in media will always draw me in. I related to Frannie’s character and was rooting for her the whole time. And don’t even get me started on the chemistry between her and Ollie 😍

It also helps that I got some serious Anna and the French kiss vibes (xoxo @stephanieperkins). Thanks to @netgalley for the ARC. Definitely looking forward to more from this author!

I finished this one quickly and enjoyed it well enough. It was a cute, funny story but not what I was expecting. I thought the book was going to be a romance/relationship developing between Fran and Ollie, but it was primarily a humorous description of Fran's dating life. The chemistry between Fran and Ollie was not really developed to the degree that it needed to be to really be rooting for them to become a couple. Overall an easy, light fun read with some humor, but not really reflective of the book description.

Thanks to NetGalley for a chance to read this book!
4-4,5 stars from me.
There is nothing to not like about this book. Though slow-paced, it was not as predictable, there was always something coming up more, the story turned out so nicely. It has a nice, good ending we all want to see and hear about these days. An uplifting spirit that everything does turn out as it is supposed to turn out.
Minus - at some point, especially at the beginning, there were quite many characters and it got confusing, who is who.

Thank you to Netgalley for my free copy. I have to say I enjoyed the book. It was a good story that flowed nicely. I liked Fran and Ollie. You can help but cheer them along. I thought the concept of blogging the online dating was interesting. The dates were funny and awful at the same time.
I do have to say that some of the British slang was a bit hard to understand. I felt I miss some of what was going on. And some of her friends were very annoying. Maybe on purpose?? The tiny bit of cheating was not right in my mind. I felt Ollie was a bit hypocritical at times. And emotional cheating is cheating to me.
Though all of that I keep thinking this could be a great movie. Thanks again for a good book!!

This book was a light entertaining read about Ollie and Fran, who are work spouses. I enjoyed seeing their relationship evolve from fierce competitors to true friends. There was always an air of mystery to Ollie, you never could quite figure out what he was thinking, and I loved that.

Fran's online dating escapades were sometimes funny, sometimes sad, mostly all crazy on some level. I could feel Fran's disappointment throughout the process.

This was a great book about friendships and relationships with great character development. You really got to know the personalities of Ollie and Fran as well as the people they worked with. This book was a great read from beginning to end.

Thank you Hera Books and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Fran works for a content creation company and has an idea to start an internet dating blog after breaking up with her boyfriend in spectacular fashion. What follows is a funny, heart-warming journey complete with a will they-won’t they relationship between Fran and a co-worker.

I really enjoyed that the story was refreshing and easy to read. I found myself reading 30% at a time. It was an interesting take on the pros and cons of internet dating. I enjoyed the strong female friendships (for the most part) that were portrayed in this story. But with that being said, I also felt like this story took forever to get anywhere. I found the British slang a bit much sometimes and was struggling to understand some of what was said. And one of her friends really annoyed me.

First of all I have to say I really enjoyed this story.
The characters came to life and I found myself falling a little bit in love with Ollie. He is the right amount of funny, charming, flirtatious and an all round good guy.... Except for his girlfriend.. Lou... She is a thorn in his side and he doesn't realise it.
Fran is a brilliant character, she is a bit gullible and although she is fuesty, she has a bit of a soft side too. Her and Ollie start off with a very rocky friendship which then turns in to a gorgeous friendship which comes with a few ups and downs.
This is a story of work, careers, friendships, love, the highs and lows of Internet dating and finding the one.
I thoroughly enjoyed it and I want to thank the author, the publishers and Netgalley for allowing me the opportunity to read this ARC for my honest review

-I received a digital ARC copy thanks to NetGalley, all thoughts and opinions are my own-

I loved this story!! The angst, the slow burn, it all was amazing!! You sit there and just when you think things are going great BAM your smacked right down. This story had me hooked.

I loved our main character Fran’s personality, I felt that it really showed in every chapter. I also loved Ollie, even though there was a part where he was an utter douche he still was adorable and made me love him!

A very British rom-com that just gave me all the feels. I’m rating 4 stars, because as much as I loved the story there were times were I felt the story was just dragging on unnecessarily and the teeniest part of cheating in the beginning put me off. Because even though Ollie and Fran cheat on their partners with each other Ollie is upset when he finds out Lou has cheated on him later on, which seems double standard-ish to me but to each their own.

A nice light hearted, fun, easy to read rom-com that I’d definitely recommend! Thank you again NetGalley for allowing me to read this early!

This was an extremely heart warming book that grew on me towards the end. Initially it took me some time to get to love this book because the characters seemed a little flat and the plot a little superficial. But as we travelled with Fran, I came to realize that this is a story of insta-love or in this case tinder-love that we will all grow to love. Fran by herself is a jerk magnet to which most of us can relate. She meets the most obnoxiously weird guys and writes about them on her blog.

This is a story where the main characters are obviously in love with each other, and everyone but them knows this. One of my favourite settings of the book was Viral Hive, a workplace for content creators that seemed amazing. The co-workers are supportive of each other and have all the possible fun over Christmas and even Halloween. It's the kind of place I would not mind working.

Those of you who loved the book Where Rainbows End by Cecelia Ahern and the movie Love, Rosie can pick this one up without hesitation

Overall a cute, quick and fun read! I loved how it was friends to lovers and how the romance was very gradual.
I do wish we had more romance at the end with Fran and Ollie, I feel like it was a bit abrupt.
It was cute and fun overall!

This is a fun and light-hearted read! Join Fran in her dating adventures and trying to find her way to love. We can all relate to her in one way or another as she makes this journey. Funny, and a great way to escape for a while.

A light-hearted, fun, laugh-out-loud read!

Chapman writes with refreshing honesty what it's really like to date in the world of dating apps. Her characters are funny and brilliantly relatable (that break-up scene was epic!).

There are some touching moments too as Fran begins to value herself and realize the importance of doing things for known happiness rather than anyone else.

This book is very 'Harry Met Sally' - The perfect fix for lovers of romantic comedy!

Thanks to Hera Books & Netgalley for sending me this in exchange for an open and honest review.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This novel reminded me of a modern day Beauty and the Best. Fran and Ollie don't exactly hit it off after Fran had formed her first opinion of Ollie. The pair met during a group interview for the same job position and Fran perceived Ollie to be cocky and self-absorbed. However, once they are "stuck" together, she realizes maybe he is a bit more tolerable to be around than she initially thought. They are each juggling work and relationships with their significant others, while forming a friendship with each other.
I enjoyed the inclusion of the modern elements of dating (e.g., blog posts, Tinder, content creation, etc.), as well as the depiction of text messages and emails. It really made me feel like I was in the story myself. While the book was full of humor, I struggled with at first because I didn't feel like Fran's friends were the kind of people that she needed, especially in the midst of her rather toxic relationship. However, as her story evolved, so did the characters, and I found myself invested in the story fairly quickly. The ending was a bit abrupt for me. I would have loved to follow the story some more! This was a light read, full of humor and cringe-worthy first dates, I recommend to anyone looking for a fun, light read. It was the RomCom that I needed!

Fran and Ollie meet during a group interview for the same job and immediately Ollie rubs her the wrong way. After both being hired and several months the two form what Fran thinks is an unlikely friendship. When Fran's long term relationship ends in spectacular fashion she decides to use it to her advantage and starts blogging about online dating. At the height of Fran's dating disasters, Ollie and his girlfriend take off on a year-long adventure traveling the world. When both implode and Ollie returns early, the only person he wants to see is Fran.

Swipe Right is an agonizingly delicious, slightly frustrating slow burn in the best way possible. Every time I would think, this is it, this is the moment, it wasn't. I adored these two, Fran was so brave and unapologetically her self. Ollie was so sweet (for the most part, aside from the incident), you can see his affection for Fran through their friendship. It's funny, with good characters both main and side, witty banter, and a few moments that feel like a punch to the heart. I enjoyed everything about this book, definitely recommend.

The story of Fran and Ollie who work with each other. When they meet she is with Lucas and he is with Lou, but they click. When Fran breaks up with Lucas she starts tinder dating and writing a blog about it. , and Ollie is off round the world with Lou, so will they ever have a chance of getting together?

I liked how it was written solely from Fran's point of view, but it would have been interesting to know what Ollie was thinking sometimese too, especially towards the end of the book.

Thank you to NetGalley, Hera books and Stephie Chapman for giving me that warm fuzzy feeling where you don’t dare hope for that ending...but really really want that ending.
Our two main characters are Ollie and Fran. Both go for an interview. It’s clear, from the off, that these two have a spark. But will it ever be more? When they both end up working in the company we do wonder. Everyone around them seems to think they make a great couple - but each has a partner.
For seemingly ages Fran and Ollie walk the line of friends who quite fancy each other. It’s all very When Harry Met Sally without the annoying leads, a lot more alcohol and no fake-orgasm scene.
There’s a warmth between the two characters that seems very genuine. They open up to each other in a way that you can’t help but envy...but nothing happens.
Hang fire. Don’t get disheartened. Sometimes you just need to wait for the right time to put everything in place. Of course, it might not happen - but that really would have been a miserable read.

Is this a book I needed to read right now... yes, yes it was!

Stephie Chapman has written a funny, charming and relatable tale of life in our current times (ok in our pre-COVID-19 times but that can be forgiven). There is a lot going well for our main character Fran and you route for her right from the get-go! She's driven, smart, witty and seems to be a genuinely good person. Enter Ollie, a character you want to really like but there is just something about him that's holding you back from going all-in on this too cool for school charmer!

This may be the slowest burn pseudo romance to rule them all. The tension is sort of there and you KNOW where everything is going but there are chapters where Ollie doesn't really factor in. He's dating Lou, awful Lou, and Fran after a spectacular scene at a Christmas party, is back on the dating scene and writing about it. While they view each other as work spouses and good friends I had a hard time buying it simply because of the space between interactions. One day they are cold and the next not and by the next I mean 4 months later, but we aren't given much of a view. We are just told to accept it. I kind of wish we saw more of the progression from adversaries to friends.

I say pseudo romance as most of this book revolves around Fran finding her way back to herself. At times you think it's going to get heavy into the romantic elements but it doesn't really. Even what we build up to is a bit anticlimactic!

Honestly, in the end, I'm not sure I was totally sold. On one hand, I was clapping but on the other, I didn't think there was enough and I was still kind of not in love with all the things Ollie did or didn't do in some cases!

I can overlook my concerns shall we call them, because I genuinely enjoyed this book! It made me laugh and question things and cheer. It made me happy and gave me an escape when I'm stuck at home! And ultimately that's what you want a book to do!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy in exchange for an honest review.
