As I'm not a real fan of the romance genre, I was a little tentative to start this book. I did listen to this book on audible, and that may have helped. The book follows three very different women who are all involved with the same man. Siobhan is a quick thinking lifestyle coach and her back story, as it is revealed, we learn leaves her very vulnerable and afraid to let herself fall for someone. Miranda is a tree surgeon, and her job takes her up in the air to the tops of trees. Miranda also has a backstory, and handles her disappointments and search for a soul mate by her job. Jane is a severely damaged young woman who is under-employed at a charity shop and she is trying to put her life back together again after a traumatic breakup with undertones of coercion and assault. Each of the women really don't don't the man that they are involved with, but a single traumatic incident brings everything to light. Each woman eventually finds their soul-mate and things all fall into place at last. I did enjoy this story. I finished this a while ago and forgot I hadn't reviewed it yet! This is another fun, witty, cleverly-written story by Beth O'Leary. She makes me want to be her friend and hang out in her insightful, warm-fuzzy world of characters. It took me a bit to get into the story, but knew it would be worth it, and it was. We immediately are distrustful of Carter (Joseph) and why he is cheating on these three already (emotionally) wounded women. But of course, there is so much more to the story than what we read at first. Stick with the story and know it touches on some delicate subjects, but also know that it is much more than a love story, and one that is so worth it! aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Siobhan is a quick-tempered life coach with way too much on her plate. Miranda is a tree surgeon used to being treated as just one of the guys on the job. Jane is a soft-spoken volunteer for the local charity shop with zero sense of self-worth.

And, unbeknownst to them, theyâ??ve all been stood up by the same man. Once they've each forgiven him for standing them up, they are all in serious danger of falling in love with a man who may have not just one or two but three women on the go.... Is there more to him than meets the eye? Where was he on Valentineâ??s Day? And will they each untangle the truth before they all get their Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

I will admit that about half-way through the book I was impatiently waiting for something to finally happen. I came to the book with my own ideas of what the story would be, but she somehow managed to build a lot of suspense just within the everyday moments of these characters lives. The twists and turns and slow reveals were brilliant and I was really impressed with this novel. And at the end of it all were the fuzzy feelings that made me smile.
I’ve had some ups and downs with O’Leary’s books, but I’ve always said I would read everything she wrote and The No-Show is a reminder of why that is: complex characters, interesting relationships, a balance of serious issues and warmth, and an overall great reading experience. I can’t wait to see what O’Leary writes next. Based on her previous books I can only assume it is going to be entirely different from what’s she’s written before.
