Beautifully written with an interesting storyline. There are some fabulous characters… I look forward to seeing what’s next from this author.

A funny, easy read. Definitely worth a read when you need to switch off and forget your troubles as this book will allow you to escape into a hilarious tale.

I enjoyed this book from debut author James Bailey. I loved it for its fun and funny story, I wouldn’t agree with it being the best comedy of the year but it did make me laugh a bit. It was quite a quick read but I felt that it was still quite padded out and needed a faster pace at times.

Josh is having a really tough time of it at the moment. He's lost his job, girlfriend and home in one fell swoop and to top it all off, he's had to move back in with his parents.
Life hasn't turned out how Josh thought it would despite his plans so he's now decided to let the toss of a coin to make all of his decisions from now on, I mean, what's the worst that can happen!

This is a lighthearted, easy read and as long as you don't take some of the situations too seriously, it's enjoyable. I love that this is told from the male POV.

The story was original and had potential to be great. I loved the male POV but just wanted a bit more from Josh, I would've liked to story to move on a bit faster, but that's personal preference and a need for me to have things get going to keep me engaged.

It's a light hearted, fun romance that will entertain so not one to be discounted at all.

An ideal book to enjoy on a summer evening with a glass of bubbly. Funny, lighthearted with characters that are easy to engage with.

I really didn’t enjoy this as much as I hoped I would. It was ok, not terrible but also not that great. It felt quite predictable with bland characters, storyline interesting but I felt it was missing something.

A light hearted and easy read, although I don’t feel I gelled with the main characters as much as I would have liked. That aside, it’s still a fun read and I’d recommend it

I liked the concept of this book but struggled to really believe any of it. Strangely I felt like all of the side characters were so much more fleshed out and interesting than Josh that I kept finding myself wondering what they were doing when he was off gallivanting. One of those books that would probably work better as a movie if you get a charismatic enough actor playing the lead to carry the whole thing.

I am not usually somebody who picks up a romance book, having to be in the right mood to read one, but I loved the concept of this one and it sounded different from other romance books that I’ve read or that are out there. It wasn’t the romance aspect that drew me in, but the story concept and that I’m glad because you it wasn’t the romance part that kept me reading. It's a light, quick, easy read, that is perfect for the beach or for summer time, so if that is what you're after, then this is perfect! It even includes some travel, which was nice to read while you've been stuck in your house in lockdown for the past four months. 

This book starts of with the most brutal of breakups, on what is supposed to be, and is planned out to be, the most romantic New Years Eve of Josh’s’ life. Things take an unexpected turn for him when he not only finds out that the woman he’s planned this spectacular engagement for, not only wants to break up with him, but has also been cheating on him. He’s got no job and has to move back in with his mum, as his job and home were link with Jade, his now ex girlfriend and a chunk of his savings spent on a wasted extravagant engagement and ring. He’s tired of making wrong decisions, so he’s come up with a New Years resolution, to let the coin make his decisions.

I did enjoy really this book. It was simply and it took a different turn to what I was expecting when I was reading, which was good, as I thought at one point it was going to do the friends to lovers thing, so it was nice seeing it go somewhere else. Although this is a romance read, I’d say it’s more a book of the character finding himself again after a horrible break up, rediscovering who he is and having the right friends to encourage him to do so. They pushed him to move on and be better, took the mick out of him about embarrassing situations and it felt like a real friendship, if a little too perfect on times.

This book is really sweet, maybe too sweet on times and you get your usually things you expect to find in a traditional romance book, although you do get a random 'adult' scene. You get your “miscommunication/misunderstanding” towards the end that leads to extra drama of will they/won’t they, which is one of the things I dislike in romance reads, even if it is understandable. But I took this book for what it was and I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the writing, I liked the story and I even liked the majority of how the characters were all developed. There are some stories where you require great depth of character history, but this isn’t really one, not really requiring more than what was actually given.

I really enjoyed reading from a different point of view! This was a light, fun and easy read! What a way to decide ... by a flip of a coin! Such a lovely read, I really enjoyed it.

I truly believe I have a limit when it comes to awkwardness. I made a note and within the span of 6 chapters, or 70 pages, we had a failed proposal, a horny rabbit, a pub quiz team called 'the quizlamic extremists' (no I was not impressed and did not find this funny), a valentine's card from mum at 28 years old and tv phone sex which made our main character cry. I can deal with awkwardness. I can't deal with THIS MUCH awkwardness. I think the one redeeming quality for the book was that it was refreshing to see the heartbreak perspective from a man's point of view where he was genuinely distressed and not 'dealing with it like a man'. So that was nice. It just was not for me, in any other aspect.

Thank you to James Bailey, Netgalley and Michael Joseph for providing me with an e-copy in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

A witty book about recovering from a sudden break-up. Josh thought he knew where his life was heading but has the rug pulled from under him! His decision to leave everything to the flip of a coin helps and hinders his future choices. The detail of where his travels take him are very good and his relationships with his friends and family are all relatable. Josh is such a likeable character and I enjoyed the story as it was nice to read a romance book from a mans point of view. It is a relatively quick read and a great debut novel.

On the books you definitely need to read! This was fun, serious and just had the perfect balance. Must be added to your tbr if it isn’t already!! Really enjoyed it

After proposing to his girlfriend on the London Eye on New Years Eve and being spectacularly rejected Josh feels, understandably in a bit of a slump. He doesn't trust his decision making abilities and so, when he finds a 50p coin decides that maybe, by flipping it, it can make better decisions for him!
This leads Josh to some awkward situations, but also some good ones!

The book has some sad moments and proper laugh out loud moments. Although a little predictable I did really enjoy the story and would definitely read more by this author

*tw: death of a loved one, cancer

I really enjoyed this book, it felt like a positive, uplifting book. I really liked the characters and sometimes I could feel myself routing for the guy! I would definitely read more by this author.

Thank you NetGalley for my complimentary copy in return for my honest review.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a lot of fun with some real laugh out loud moments. When Josh is dumped mid-proposal on New Year's Eve - trapped in the London Eye of all places - he decides that he cannot be trusted to make his own decisions anymore. Inside he decides to flip a coin each time a decision needs to me made. What follows is a year filled with tears, drama, a TV appearance and maybe the chance of real love.

This is a lovely read that gives you warm fuzzy feelings about Josh and the people he has in his life. So what if he's single and back in his childhood bedroom, his luck could changing at the flip of a coin.

I really enjoyed this book. It is funny, imaginative, and different to other books I have read.
The characters are all believable and adorable. Would recommend this book. Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers and the author for the privilege to read this book for my honest opinion
