Story
You always remember your first love. Don't you? It began with four words. "I love your laugh." But that was 12 years ago. It really began the day Georgina was fired from The Worst Restaurant in Sheffield (TripAdvisor) and found The Worst Boyfriend in the World (Georgina's best friends) in bed with someone else. So when her new boss, Lucas McCarthy, turns out to be the boy who wrote those words to her all that time ago, it feels like the start of something. The only problem? He doesn't seem to remember Georgina at all.

Story
Minnie Cooper knows two things with certainty: that her New Year's birthday is unlucky, and that it's all because of Quinn Hamilton, a man she's never met. Their mothers gave birth to them at the same hospital just after midnight on New Year's Day, but Quinn was given the cash prize for being the first baby born in London in 1990 - and the name Minnie was meant to have, as well. With luck like that, it's no wonder each of her birthdays has been more of a disaster than the one before.

But the apartments in her budget have her wondering if astonishingly colored mold on the walls counts as art. Desperation makes her open minded, so she answers an ad for a flatshare.

In fact, they'll never even have to meet.

Story
I can’t believe I have to go home to Nebraska for my sister’s wedding. I’m gonna need a wingman and a whole lot of vodka for this level of family interaction. At least my bestie agreed he’d man up and help. Too bad he had to catch a different flight than me. Then, his plane got delayed. And finally - because bad things always happen in threes - instead of my best friend, his evil twin walks out of the airport. If you looked up doesn’t-deserve-to-be-that-confident, way-too-hot-for-his-own-good billionaire in the dictionary, you’d find a picture of Grady Holt. He’s awful.

Can you fall in love like they do in the movies? It's Evie Summers' job to find out. Because if she can't convince her film agency's biggest client, Ezra Chester, to write the romantic-comedy screenplay he owes producers, her career will be over. The catch? He thinks rom-coms are unrealistic - and he'll only put pen to paper if Evie shows him that it's possible to meet a man in real life the way it happens on the big screen. Cynical Evie might not believe in happily ever after, but she'll do what it takes to save the job that's been her lifeline.

Well worth the Listen

Publisher's Summary
The new novel from the bestselling author of You Had Me At Hello.
Anna Alessi - history expert, possessor of a lot of hair and an occasionally filthy mouth - seeks nice man for intelligent conversation and Mills & Boon moments.
Despite the oddballs that keep turning up on her dates, Anna couldn't be happier. As a 30-something with a job she loves, life has turned out better than she dared dream.
However, things weren't always this way, and her years spent as the ‘Italian Galleon' of an East London comprehensive are ones she'd rather forget. So when James Fraser - the architect of Anna's final humiliation at school - walks back into her life, her world is turned upside down.
But James seems a changed man. Polite. Mature. Funny, even. People can change, right? So why does Anna feel like she's a fool to trust him?
Hilarious and poignant, Here's Looking At You will have you laughing one minute and crying the next. The new must-read novel from #1 bestseller Mhairi McFarlane.
What the critics say

"I loved this: an original, genuinely funny, genuinely moving, modern love story." (Katy Regan)
"Mhairi is darkly funny and quite, quite rude… You Had Me at Hello is a breath of tart, Northern air." (Sarra Manning)
"Bitingly sharp and achingly funny…guaranteed to have you bent double. I absolutely loved it!" (Claudia Carroll)

It Grows On You
It took me a little bit to appreciate this book because my initial impression was that it was just fluff. Maybe it was fluff, but it was also a sweet, endearing story written with the verbal wit of Nick Spalding that's a lot of lighthearted fun. I'm still thinking he actually wrote this under a pen name. The style and tone are identical.
While the narrator is excellent, her strong accent, while adding to the humor in places, also caused me to consistently not understand some words here and there.
What began as 2 stars grew to 5. A cute, clever, little feel-good respite from the stresses of daily life.

Here's looking at you
Any additional comments?
It was ok. I was really looking forward to listening to this book because the synopsis read really well. I struggled to stay focused when listening to the book and I didn't spark with the characters. It was a similar story line to my all time favourite book "you don't have to say you love me" by Sarra Manning. Maybe if I had listened to this book before my favourite one I might have enjoyed it more. I think I spent a lot of time comparing the 2 books.

Bridget Jones Fans - This Doesn't Disappoint
Would you listen to Here's Looking at You again? Why?
I've listened to the ending twice. The book was laugh out loud funny and heartwarming with characters you root for. I'd listen again just for the humour.
What did you like best about this story?
Sharp, witty dialogue, well-written and let's face it, how many history professors are the subject of romance novels. Loved that!
What does Cassandra Harwood bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Perfect with the accents that helped me imagine how the characters were actually speaking. She did a great job.
Who was the most memorable character of Here's Looking at You and why?
Honestly, they all were, though I particularly liked Anna and James.
Any additional comments?
I would prefer to write my own review instead of guided questions which make me feel like I'm in Junior High.

Made me laugh out loud so much!
Many priceless quotes in this book! I'm going to have to re-read to find all the things I want to repeat! I really enjoyed it after it got going! It wasn't slow, but really became excellent 1/3 of the way into it. The characters are all likeable! Narrator is fantastic! I never review, but I was surprised that I loved this one.

Dear Mhairi McFarlane, please keep them coming
I just love this author! This book is the perfect mix of smart and fun, and I just really enjoyed these characters. I love the complexity of Anna, and I honestly miss her already. I highly recommend this one. I will likely listen again.

Similar to the author’s other book—could be triggering for some
I have also listened to “Don’t You Forget About Me” by McFarlane. They have the same configuration in terms of characters. The main character has similar hang ups about high school, same family structure, same friend group. This is a decently entertaining listen, but not recommended to do back to back with her other books due to resemblance. And “Don’t You...” is better. This author seems to use traumatic events from the past as a key element to galvanize the relationships. It’s not a good topic to trade on, so I hope she comes up with something else moving forward. Trigger warning: suicide is discussed.

Well written, good read
Anna’s self image is scarred by being bullied during her school years. The feelings she expresses and choices she makes in coping with the situations confronting her ring true and take this romcom to a deeper level. The dialogue is clever and the characters are very likable. Characters learn to take responsibility for the consequences of their words and actions, and they grow as human beings over the course of the story. All in all, it is a hopeful story about witty, endearing people. I felt like a notable percentage of the witticisms went over my head though because the pop culture references were clearly written for Brits under age 40. Along with not catching all the cultural references, the narrator is very British with a thick accent. It took a little time to get tuned into her pronunciation so I could focus on what she was saying rather than how she said it. I recommend this book.

make a movie of it PLEASE!!!!
This is, by far, my favorite book I have listened to. There was enough depth to the plot that it didn't feel predictable. There are some hilariously funny things throughout the book....the quick witted comments had me laughing HARD!!! If they made a movie from this book I would watch the calendar for the release date!

Ignore the coincidental name!
The James Fraser in this book is not like the dashing Scotsman of the other! While not as epic, this is a simultaneously sweet and heartbreaking story. Overlook the cliches (like yet another female who makes every man she meets swoon), and you’ll have fun with this one. All in all, the characters are memorable and carry a good story.
