Publisher's Summary

What if your future was somewhere in your past?

Rosie Jones has been dumped by every boyfriend she’s ever had - most recently by Dinosaur Dave, live on TV, during the ‘phone-a-friend’ segment of a quiz show. 

After the footage goes viral Rosie receives a bunch of flowers with a message: 

I love you, I should have never let you go, I want you back x

But who sent them? 

At a loose end and with £50,000 prize money in her back pocket, Rosie decides to take a trip down memory lane, visiting each of her ex-boyfriends to see not just if they are the one who sent the flowers but if they are the one. 

Her journey takes her back to the house she grew up in and on a transatlantic cruise to New York, but can Rosie figure out which ex-boyfriend is the love of her life, or should the past stay in the past?

Great narrator, decent story but not the best by this author

This is a fun light read, but not the best by this author. I would highly recommend “The Plus One Pact” by the same author/narrator pair over this one if you’re starting out with her books.

The narrator is excellent and the characters are all okay, but just okay. The one thing that kept it from being an all-around 4-4.5 star read was that I found the main character a little on the needy side, with a little too low self-esteem and too much self-deprecation. It certainly wasn’t to a degree that I couldn’t like her at all, but compared to the heroine in The Plus One Pact, it was harder to get invested in her.

Not my fave

I’ve read a few Portia MacIntosh books and always love the hilarious and light hearted fun. This one felt laborious to get through, though. The balance was off- too many gaffs and trials, and not enough setup on the rekindled romance. It felt like a rushed tie up at the end as a result? Still a fan of the author, but I’d opt for any of her other titles first. Karen Cass still did a fabulous job with the narration, though!

Pretty cute

This book makes keeling for a best friend, especially one I could travel with and who would indulge my whims and soothe my embarrassments. Of course, having the £50K would be super too! Haha! The main character’s cynicism and criticism of others gets a little much, I have to admit.

Great Escape

Love Portia's books. They are a great escape from reality. I enjoy listening to them as I knit.

funny and likeable characters

I like when stories are a little bit unexpected. This one fits the bill. It was cute and sweet and you could pick it up whenever and catch on again. Definitely not a page turner or one you can't put down, but a nice beach read, if you will.

Fun read

Enjoy all of Sophie’s books. They all take you away to places we wish we could endeavor.

Overall ok

Some books you just wonder how the character gets through the day. Is anyone really this immature and clueless?! So many cringe moments that it was hard for me to finish. There is the non traditional male relationship required by publishing houses… it rarely adds anything to the plot which is disappointing. Seems to be required skeleton plot line to obtain publishing.

Adorable as always

Karen Cass' narration and Portia Macintosh's work are magic together as always. This is a cute romance with fun, realistic characters.

Adorable Book

Love the reader and the book is super cute and charming. It is an entertaining read. VERY predictable, but that is because it is a romantic comedy and one should expect that.

Ending was vague

This is the first book that I will predicted a different ending. I loved the hunt for exes… I wish she had become an investigative journalist in the story and wrote an expose on the exes. I was super excited for nothing!!
