I liked the synopsis of the book and i was looking forward to reading it, but it just didn’t happen did not enjoy it as much as i would have liked of.
Thank you Netgalley for a copy for an honest review

Unfortunately, I have not been able to read and review this book.
After losing and replacing my broken Kindle and getting a new phone I was unable to download the title again for review as it was no longer available on Netgalley.
I’m really sorry about this and hope that it won’t affect you allowing me to read and review your titles in the future.
Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity.

(I received a free copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.)
What if you could live your life all over again?
There’s just one catch…
Frannie Turner is a plain, middle-aged housewife married to Stanley, a self-absorbed retired dentist who hasn’t slept in her bed in years. No children to love and be loved by. No exciting career to look back on. Just loneliness and lost dreams. So when the mysterious new hairdresser in town offers her the chance to get everything she’s ever wanted, Frannie figures she has nothing to lose -except her soul. And surely, as a stunning twenty-six-year-old singleton in New York, finding true love within the stipulated year should be a piece of cake, not to mention a hell of a lot of fun!
But New York City is no place for the naïve, and Frannie will soon learn just how dangerous a deal with the devil can be…
Well, I have to say - this wasn't the book I was expecting when I asked for a copy from Net Galley. I was expecting more of a laugh-out-loud women's fiction kind of story but what I got was just a little darker than that. Grim at times. But that wasn't really a bad thing. Just took me by surprise.
On the face of it, this story seemed pretty simple - strike a deal with the devil that says "I will give you everything if you find true love within a year. Or else." Lots of laughter, hijinks and silliness everywhere, right?
Not really.
Sure, there was some of that. Some of the humor was quite clever and the situations that Frannie got herself into were just as I suspected. But there was more to this story than just sex and comedy - there is a darker vein running through it which makes it both more attractive (to me) and more unlikable (from the reviews). And I guess that's the risk you run writing a novel that isn't quite as easy to fit into a category.
I liked it. Didn't love it. Wouldn't read it again...
But I liked it.
