Book Review | Worst Wingman Ever | Abby Jimenez

Worst Wingman Ever (The Improbable Meet-Cute collection) by Abby Jimenez

They’re falling in love, yet they’ve never met. Maybe fate can intervene in a heartwarming “what-if” short story about new beginnings by the New York Times bestselling author of Yours Truly.

Holly is dealing with the impending death of her grandmother and still reeling from a bad breakup. One bright spot: a Valentine’s Day card on Holly’s windshield—even if it wasn’t meant for her. An amusing mistake soon turns into a lovely exchange of anonymous notes, little acts of kindness, and a growing affection between two strangers. What happens when one of them has to say goodbye?

Non-review Rant

I am WEAK. I was supposed to read only the first book of this The Improbable Meet-Cute collection. I fail, but I’m not unhappy.

Amazon Original Stories series a new way of reading many authors I haven’t read before. Abby Jimenez is one of them.

Moving on.

Recap

A wrongly delivered valentine note, FMC dealing with impending loss of a dear one and the MMC who is so kind, you want him around you. This has humour, tragedy, romance, and even mystery.

Review

THIS.IS.AMAZING.

This story also has elements of being an epistolary story, and so it obviously reminded me of Book Review | The Exception to the Rule | Christina Lauren

LOVED IT.

I wasn’t really. I hadn’t been fine in a while.

Time is such a precious thing. How you spend it, how you waste it. And it becomes even more valuable as the hourglass runs out, because you will never get more of it. I see it every day. The panic as the last grains of sand fall.

The sand was running out of the hourglass.

That’s the thing about kindness. You never know how big the ripple is. How one little selfless gesture can make all the difference for the person who receives it.

The Final Verdict

Must read.

Stay tuned for more book reviews.

Until next time, happy reading!
