was not into it and then saw that it was written by a man so I didn't give him the benefit of the doubt.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book provided to me through NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you to the author and publisher for giving me the opportunity to read this book!
It’s all about finding the right timing for Jess and Tom in Owen Nicholls’s “Perfect Timing.” From missed moments, to misunderstandings, and everything in between Jess and Tom are never far from each other’s thoughts and really from each other in this modern-day mix up.
From the moment Jess and Tom meet you just know they have an instant connection, and this was clearly displayed throughout the book. The character development and growth that they each went through, just made me want to keep reading to find out exactly how it was going to end and what would happen to Jess and Tom. If not for having a job, I probably would have had this one finished in a day -- I enjoyed reading it that much (but it still only took me 3 days to read!). The author does touch on some issues that might be triggering for some, including alcoholism and suicide.
Overall, I definitely will be recommending this book to my friends!

Perfect Timing by Owen Nicholls is a charming book about two people that have an instant connection but just can’t seem to get things right. The book features the perspectives of two twenty-somethings pursuing careers in the entertainment industry. Tom is a musician in an up-and-coming rock band and Jess is a devoted stand-up comedian whose career is on the rise. They meet at a talent show early in their careers. I loved the dialogue and how Jess and Tom connected each time they met. I really felt it. They’re imperfect, but charming characters and I loved being part of their worlds. The plot was a little meandering and sometimes slow. This is one of those books where the main characters could have been together multiple times if they had communicated more honestly with each other. However, the plot is more than just about Jess and Tom being together. We see their journeys and self-growth. I really enjoyed reading this and the book really popped whenever Tom and Jess were together. The author did such a wonderful job bringing to life a relationship with an inexplicable instant connection. I absolutely loved the writing style and I can’t wait to read more from Owen Nicholls.
Thank you Ballantine Books and NetGalley for providing this ARC.

I enjoyed Perfect Timing. However, it was a little slow at times. The overall message of the story was great too. Thanks to Netgalley and Random House Publishing for providing me this book for an honest review
