Summary
No woman gets left behind.
Three best friends are going to solve their relationship woes once and for all.
Forty-something Jemima’s life is on track - well, sort of. All she has to do is muster the courage to bat her niggly ex away for good.
Twenty-something Meagan is in the midst of her five-phase plan and is nearly ready for phase three - a relationship.
While 30-something Simi has had more it’s not yous than any I dos.
Deciding it’s time to play the dating game by their own rules, they’re going to ditch the dating apps and ask people out in real life. The catch? They’re playing matchmaker and can only ask out potential dates for each other because the most important rule is that no woman gets left behind.
Comedian Andi Osho’s hilarious and uplifting debut novel features her trademark wit and is perfect for fans of Candice Carty-Williams, Lucy Diamond and Mhairi McFarlane.

Easy listening.
Was ok. Bit predictable but was a good listen. Most lines are lines you can relate too.

Heart-warming escapism
Great narration by the author and a lovely story about female friendship, romance and taking a chance on saying yes. Ideal escapism!

Outstanding
Loved this so much. It was funny, heartfelt, so London. What a wonderful debut and here’s to hoping there will be more written by Andi :)

Uplifting, light and fun
The story is a little predictable in the way romantic comedies often are, but I enjoyed it thanks to well developed, relatable characters and a good performance by the author

another bit of chick lit filler
Full of all the cliches you’d expect from chick lit but minimal charm or originality. It was fine for what it was but she’s no Marian Keyes

I really wanted to enjoy it ...
... I chose it because I've always really liked the author and there's real potential here - glimpses of the talented writer she could one day become - some really strong passages of writing, some genuinely very funny bits and some strong characterisation - and I blame her agent and publisher for going for a quick buck over developing that talent to bring out a more impressive debut. Because it wouldn't have taken very much more work to turn this into something SO much better. Maybe I'm just not used to this genre (chick lit? romance?) but even here I'd expect the reader's intelligence to be respected enough for the plot to have some plausibility. Instead, we have a supposedly successful writer who appears not to know the first thing about the concept of writing or about the publishing industry, an aspiring actor who feels like she has no connection to her craft and an agent who seems to know nothing about nurturing talent. Which unfortunately made the plot feel forced and unrealistic. The same great characters, the same strong emotional drivers and the same challenges, played out via a more plausible plot could have made for a really fantastic story. My advice to the author is to read more and become part of a real writing community because someone should have given you more constructive criticism before you got as far as getting published. Great potential but very sad to say I couldn't really recommend it.

I wanted to like this but couldn’t.
Really overwritten, has the feel of needing to make a word count double that of the original submission.
Love Andi Osho, but this book was a letdown. The predictable story alone would have held if the prose wasn’t so unnecessarily flowery. Together they’re an unfortunate combination
