A very enjoyable book about a couple who suddenly decide to split up during a random argument. After a couple decades of marriage, Hannah and Dan Pinkman barely tolerate each other and when they reach the breaking point, Dan moves out and Hannah is left to pick up the pieces and figure out what her next step will be. Her friends convince her to start an online dating profile using Pamela Anderson as her inspiration. To Hannah’s horror and surprise and also excitement, Dan and Pammy connect online and start corresponding.

I got a big kick out of this story and have to say that in all of the online dating trope stories I have read, I have yet to read one where an estranged couple find one another online and begin to like each other again. I wondered frequently throughout this story how Dan would react when he finds out who Pammy really is and how Hannah would be able to keep it from him or how she confesses.

Hannah truly believes her marriage is over so she tries to move on but her heart isn’t really in it. Adding to that is her grown son who lacks any ambition, her elderly aunt Pearl, who is getting more action at the retirement home she lives at, the job she hates and overcoming the fear that nobody will ever want to see her naked again.

This book hit all the marks on fun, charm, wittiness and personality. The characters were easy to relate to and get to know. This was my first Polly James book but it will not be my last. Her sense of humor, snark and sarcasm were brilliant and brought these characters to life. I loved how Hannah’s humanity, faults and all, were displayed so eloquently that I couldn’t help but empathize with her.

For me, Hannah is a character that anyone who has suffered a break-up can see bits of themselves in. Love is never just smooth sailing. It can be messy, chaotic and sometimes painful. When the people who are struggling fight for that love, it’s worth it.

My Final Verdict: Overall, this is an amazing book that I highly recommend to readers who love a happy ending for characters that lose their way but refuse to give up.

Thank you to the author, HarperCollins UK, Avon, who provided an advance reader copy via NetGalley.

I really wanted to like it. It seemed cute in the premise...but I found the FMC annoying. Starting pre-divorce in the story put me off, too. Just not my cup of tea, I'm afraid.

This is a book where you can see where it's going to end when you start it, but I don't mind that. I knew from the start that Hannah and dan would match on a dating site and chat away without dan knowing it and that they'd fall back in love. But I loved every second of getting to that. Well, written and utterly charming.

A wonderful and heart warming read that I read in one sitting and would highly recommend . I would like to read more from this author.

Cute premise of the estranged married couple growing on each other again after meeting on the online dating site. But the plot not goes very deep behind the "surface problems" (like why they truly went for the separation?) and the execution is seriously prolonged.

Really enjoyable read. Good characters and a Good story. Well worth a read. Think others will enjoy.Jo

A charming feel-good read, this is the story of Hannah and her husband Dan, who go their separate ways (although this seemed very sudden and for no apparent reason). Hannah feels she should get back in the dating market, and with the help of her friend goes on several dates which turn out to be less than successful. One day she spots the perfect man online ... her husband Dan. They start to communicate through the dating site, although Dan is unaware he's talking to his own wife ... with the help of their grown up son and Hannah's friend Eva, the (estranged) couple navigate their way through the separation. I found this actually funny, unlike many books which tell you they are 'laugh out loud' - in which case they are usually not so.
Many thanks to the publisher for a review copy.

I received this book for an honest review. I thought this book was fantastic, I loved the main character Hannah not just because she has my name but she does stuff that is hilarious though I did feel sorry for her in some parts. This is a story about the importance of friendship and rediscovering yourself. I would definitely recommend this book if you want a feel good read

incredibly funny story about a couple in their almost fifties, that break up on New Years Day, and then try to spend the next year trying to move on from each other.

Told from Hannah's perspective, we see just what dating is like for a slightly older woman, and it sounds no better than for younger women! It is hilarious, from an outsiders point of view at least!

I loved how Hannah tries to make new friends, tries internet dating, and all sorts of other things to try to get over Dan, but you need to read the book to see if anything works.

This was quite a quick and easy book to read, and I think there are characters within it that anyone can relate to.

Really enjoyed Would Like To Meet and would be interested to see what else the author writes in the future,

Thank you to Avon and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

This is one of those books you literally can't put down. The story just flows, from the second you pick up the book and you have to find out what happens next. You quickly warm to Hannah, who despite being older than I am, is such a relatable character. You could easily be her friend and confidante and the book is such a true reflection of what can happen in a relationship you find yourself nodding along with it. It's very funny and heartwarming in equal measure too.

This was a cute story. When Hannah and her husband, of 27 years, have an argument that ends up with one saying why don't we split up and the other says yes why don't we. Then they both go on dating sites. Neither is happy with the split, neither is happy with their jobs. Communication would have helped them a long the whole time but it also made them change in little ways and to become better people. I received this from NetGalley for review.

I really enjoyed the book, it has everything I love in a novel from start to finish. I can’t wait to read what the author has planned next!

Would like to meet was a great book about the ups and downs in a relationship.
Hannah and Dan have been married a long time but after an argument it snowballs into them deciding they no longer want to be together so Dan moves out of the family home.
Will they be over for good or can they sort out their differences?
A great book that was easy to read, grap a cuppa and fall into this book a few hours will soon pass while you read all about Hannah and Dan and their ups and downs.

A little predictable, didn't particular like the characters either. Written well though.

This book wasn't really for me. Just couldn't get into it and unfortunately couldn't finish.
