Summary:

In this joyful romance, one wild night results in three kisses—only one successful—and leaves a perpetually single Amy searching for her perfect match so she can find a happy ending.

Amy Daniels has a pretty nice life. Her career is on the up, she loves her friends, and she's about to buy her very own flat. On a good day, Amy could be described as a catch—so why is she perpetually single?

The trouble is, Amy can see something no one else can: the end. As soon as she kisses someone, she knows, in intimate, vivid detail, how their relationship will finish. A screaming argument in the middle of the supermarket over milk. An explicit email sent to the wrong address. A hasty escape through a bathroom window on the second date. At the altar—runaway-bride style. There seems to be no end to the unhappy endings.

After years of trying, and failing, to change a pre-written future, Amy has given up. But then she drunkenly kisses three men at her best friend's wedding and sees three possible endings: two painful, one perfect. The problem is, Amy can't really remember who she kissed, and worse, what ending belongs to which person—the only thing she knows for certain is that she's determined to find out…

Review

To be honest, I'm curious how my experience would've been had I read the book prior or instead of. I didn't initially connect with the audiobook. It took some time to connect with the narrator partly due in part in the dialect. That isn't something problematic, it was just something to adjust to. Once the story delved into why Amy was perpetually single, I was able to zone into the progression of the plot.

Ideally my curiosity piqued after that conversation with her mother. My anticipation grew with the book and the enthusiasm of the narrator kept my interest. In the context of the plot of the book, I personally would've enjoyed dual narrators, especially in those moments to differentiate which guy when she was trying to figure out who she kissed. Also, I would've loved more time with Amy and Garrett and less on the others. Once her discovery was made about him, it felt rushed. I was completely absorbed with this moment and wanted to hear more but ultimately it was interesting book.

In reflection, for my own personal experience and preference for this book, I probably would've enjoyed the book version better. That being said with no criticism of the audiobook because the narration was good. It's just for the type of plot this was and what I'd hope to take away from it, the book would've given that experience for me. You may feel differently and love the audiobook.
