3.5 stars rounded up to 4.

The No-Show starts and end on Valentine's Day. After three women are stood up on Valentine's Day, they have to decide if they are willing to forgive their date for being a no-show. What they don't know (but us readers do) is that they've all been stood up the same man.

The No-Show was so intriguing. I spent a good 3/4 of the book trying to decide which one couple I thought had the best chance of making it work, rooting for one of the women to dump him and date someone else, and just generally trying to figure it all out. I did not see the twist coming at all and when hit, I gasped.

And then the ending, god the ending. I don't want to spoil anything, but it hit me right in the gut. It was so unexpected and so good.

A lot to think about with this one... But happily way better than O'Leary's last book The Road Trip, which annoyed me a lot. This is possibly her best yet! Be careful to avoid spoilers!!!!

Content warning: Lots of language throughout. Some sexual humor and situations.

This book was really not my cup of tea and I was very tempted to ditch it during the first half but I wanted to know what happened. The twists and turns in the rest of the book made it a worthwhile read but it’s still not a favorite.
