Kathyrn Freeman is always an enjotable author and I am delighted to be part of the celebrations for her latest novel, Was It Good For You? was published by One More Chapter on August 3rd.
If you’re not a ten on Sophie’s spreadsheet, you’re never
getting her between the bedsheets…
No
aspect of Sophie’s life goes unrecorded in her Excel spreadsheets, so when she
accidentally sends it to her entire contact list instead of just her best
friend, Sophie has a lot of uncomfortable explaining to do.
First
on the list? Dr Michael Adams. After a disastrous first date, Michael scored a
‘3’ on Sophie’s ‘love life’ tab, but when she shows up to apologise for sharing
his result with the world, he issues an unexpected challenge: ten dates to
prove that love can’t be calculated by an equation or contained by boxes on a
spreadsheet.
Sophie isn’t someone who’s used to thinking outside the digital
box, but there’s something about Michael that makes her want to take a chance…
My Thoughts
This romcom is up to Kathryn Freeman's usual high standard with a great pair of central protagonists whose chemistry is off the scale. Sophie's dating history has ended with her deciding to apply her love of spreadsheets to her quest for love. Her list of required behaviours by a future partner leads her to dismiss people out of hand. It takes time for her to realise the shortcomings of this approach.
Michael is an interesting character who has a kind and caring side. He also has the pressure of his job and a suspicion about his ability to meet someone genuine and loving. There are some amusing moments as Michael and Sophie adapt to each other. Their friends and family add colour to the story, especially Micheal's grandmother who has a keen eye where her grandson is concerned. Learning not to take things at face value and to go past a bad first impressions are lessons which Sophie has to learn. I loved this read and found it to be a real page turner.
In short: First impressions can be deceptive...
About the Author
A former pharmacist, I now write romantic comedies; books
that bring a smile to the face, but also a lump to the throat. Mr Right Across
the Street won the RNA Award for Romantic Comedy in 2022.
With a husband who asks every Valentine’s Day whether he has
to buy a card (yes, he does), the romance is all in my head. Then again, his
unstinting support of my career change proves love isn't always about hearts
and flowers - and heroes come in many disguises.
Thanks to Kathryn Freeman, One More Chapter and Rachel of Rachel's Random Resources for a copy of the book and a place on the tour.
