DNF 30%

I was not really enjoying this book so when the little cheated happened I realized that it was time to abandon this book.

Swipe Right is such a heartwarming and hilarious read. I loved everything about it especially the sass that was thrown here and there.

A 2020 version of #WhenHarryMetSally. While Fran and Ollie meet at a job interview for a #buzzfeed -like company, they become fast friends who are secretly in love with each other but continue on with their lives - Ollie with his girlfriend and Fran with a boyfriend then single then on a dating app quest. Do they find their way to each other or stay platonic? Read the book to find out!

A highly entertaining story where fun and hilarious drama just made my absolute day. It’s witty, laugh out loud funny with quirky moments, great characters, with great drama and romance. As you can tell I loved reading Swipe Right and I think you should read this book too. 5 laughable STARS 🌟

Fran met Ollie when they went to the same job interview. They compete for the same position and at the end they both got it. They turned from enemy to friend then romance. Both of them got boyfriend/girlfriend but they can't denied their attraction towards each other.

I hate this! I don't understand why she accept him back after what he did to her! This one pissed me off lol

Omg! I loved the way Fran dump her boyfriend, Lucas at his office party 🤣 asddfghjkl he deserved that!

I liked Suze and Carlina. I loved the way they support Fran and cheer her throughout her journey. Goshh I hate her childhood best friend Lydia. She is not a good friend lol

Btw there is one part that make me cry goshh it's heartbreaking. That is one of the reason why I hate Ollie lol what a jerk!

Thank you Netgalley for Swipe Right ARC!

🌟🌟🌟.5

This was a cute read, with fun main characters. I liked Fran so much more than Ollie! For whatever reason, I just did not care for him, especially in the first half of the book. He grows more on you in the second half.

I also really appreciate the time span of this book - so many romances are "love at first sight" and this book really took the time to develop the main character's relationships. 3.5 out of 4 stars, just due to the lack of likeable character in Ollie in the first half.

Thank you to the publisher for the review copy.

How cute - an updated When Harry Met Sally! I think if I would have known this before reading the entire book I might have enjoyed it a bit more. I liked the first half of the book a lot. Then the story kind of lost me when the online dating started happening. I think both main characters fell a bit flat here and the focus wasn’t about them and their chemistry anymore.

I loved this author’s previous book and I look forward to more from her.

I knew when I saw that this novel was a take on Harry Met Sally but brought right up to date, I had to read it as I loved that film!

Swipe Right is a modern love story with likeable but flawed characters.

It’s very much a book of two halves. The first half we meet Fran and Ollie who are obviously meant to be together but each have something standing in their way. Fran an obnoxious boyfriend and Ollie a standoffish girlfriend. The second half you get to see Fran’s disastrous yet hilarious dating journey.

To me, Fran was Bridget Jones type of character. She swears, she drinks, she has trouble standing up for herself but you can’t help rooting for her. Then we have Ollie, he comes across as a little arrogant and overconfident but underneath you can tell he’s a bit of a sweetheart.
I loved the way that Fran and Ollie’s relationship grows throughout the story. They start off as candidates vying for the same position, to friendship, to something much more...there’s definitely no insta love in this story!

I wish there had been a few more funny moments, specifically in the first half of the book but that’s just me being picky.

Swipe Right is a sweet and engaging story and a must if you like a more modern take on classic rom coms.

Prior to being invited to take part on the blog tour for 'Swipe Right', I must admit that I hadn't come across Stephie Chapman before. I know where have I been all this time?? I thoroughly enjoyed 'Swipe Right' but more about that in a bit.
From the moment I read the synopsis for 'Swipe Right', I knew that I was going to love this book. I must be psychic (or psychopathic) because I did fall in love with the story- pardon the pun. 'Swipe Right' came along at the right time for me and it proved to be the distraction that I so badly needed. I was feeling a bit low and in agony with my back and 'Swipe Right' was the remedy I so badly needed. The book developed a hold over me from the moment I first picked the book up until the moment I read the last word on the last page. I loved the characters and I found that I began to care about what happened to them so of course I had to keep reading to see how the story developed and to discover what fate had in store for the various characters. The pages turned quite quickly as I seemed to race my way to the end. 'Swipe Right' is one of those books that you are desperate to finish because you want to know what happens but at the same time you don't want it to finish because you are enjoying the story that much that you just don't want it to end. Other bookworms will know exactly what I mean by that.
'Swipe Right' is very well written. The author certainly knows how to catch your attention with the bright and breezy cover, the synopsis entices you into the book and well then the rest is history as the saying goes. I can honestly say that I haven't chuckled away to myself as much as I did whilst reading 'Swipe Right' for a long, long time. Stephie has one of those writing styles that reads more like a chat between friends than an actual book. I hope that makes sense. Stephie describes the characters so well that they seemed almost as real as you and I. I felt as though I was part of the story myself and that's down to Stephie's very vivid and descriptive storytelling.
In short, I thoroughly enjoyed reading 'Swipe Right' and I would recommend it to other readers. I will be reading more of Stephie's work in the future. The score on the Ginger Book Geek board is a very well deserved 5* out of 5*.

This is my honest opinion about Swipe Right written by Stephie Chapman. Thank you, NetGalley for this ARC and; in exchange to that, I am writing my honest review for this book.

It took up to 50% reading stage for me to get it geared up which means, my first 50% reading was not so much engaging and to be honest, I was struggling on it. It could have been better if the book gets it hit out at least at the 30% reading stage, rather than making me read it up to 50% stage and finally get it geared up. I have almost given up to my reading. Maybe I felt that the book was a bit slow at the 1st half-reading stage. Honestly, it tortured me a lot. Nevertheless, I have to admit that although it tortured me much with the storyline, the book hooked me up till the end.

You must be wondering why the book hooked me up till the end even though I said that I was tortured by the storyline, aye? One thing for sure, the characters made the story became a better version. I would love to give this book 3 stars that it deserved.

Fun and flirty. Stephie Chapman has written an engaging enemies to friends to lovers Will they won’t they story. Fran and Ollie meat when they are both interviewing for the same job. Fran instantly does not like Ollie, but when they both get the job and start working together they start to form a friendship. There is definitely chemistry between the two, but they are both involved with other people. Time goes by and the bond deepens between Fran and Ollie, Fran and her boyfriend break up. Newly single Fran starts to write a column about her experience with dating using a dating app. What follows is a cute story filled with right swipes, bad dates, cute costumes, fun parties, tacos and guacamole, pub nights, and complicated relationships.

Fran was a fun relatable character that I’d love to be friends with. I was glad to see her end things with her boyfriend Lucas, he definitely did not deserve her, but I was not always convinced that Ollie deserved her either. This book is compared to one of my favorite romcom movies “When Harry Met Sally”, and I can see it. As far as the friends to lovers trope and the can men and women ever truly be just friends question. Although I don’t think Harry ever dated anyone as unlikable as Ollie’s girlfriend Lou. I mean I understand why she did not like Fran, I probably wouldn’t either given the circumstances, but she just seemed angry. So I think the fact that I didn’t always understand Ollie and Lou’s relationship took a little bit away from the book for me. But I did love Fran and her friends, they were very there for her. I also had fun reading about Fran’s really bad dates, and wow did she have some bad luck. This was a charming escapist read with some delightful characters, humorous moments, and a sweet very slow burn romance.

*** Big thank you to Hera Books for my gifted copy of this book. All opinions are my own. ***

I have got the worse case of leaky eyes after finishing this, I am not sure that they are going to stop neither! When I saw Stephie had another book coming out I knew I had to read it, I adored Call Me, Maybe and so I knew Swipe Right would be a must-read for me.

The instant I met Ollie and Fran, I loved them, I loved the chemistry, banter and most of their friendship, the work-marriage status. I mean who does not love the closeness with another person that they share. I think most people have a work-marriage, not necessarily finishing the way this does but as I say it is nice when that person gets you.

Ollie and Fran get each other, from the minute they meet at the job interview, you feel the crackle of electricity between them. Both with respective partners become a dream team. It is always an inconvenience when you are dying for the two main characters to be together, especially when they have partners. You almost want to hate the partners because they are interfering in your reading but you know they are only human too!

One of my favourite scenes I have to say is Fran’s smackdown at Lucas’s Christmas Party – bam – talk about a mic drop. You have to read it to find out what I mean but if I had been drinking something I think it might have been snorted out my nose!!!!

It is not until halfway through the book that we get to its namesake, although I was wondering when it was going to happen. I was enjoying the lead up to it. I just could not put this book down and I did not want to either. The characters are realistic and flawed, so flawed but that is what makes great!

Is it also wrong to enjoy reading about someones disastrous dating life? I mean what is about revelling in the awful dates someone has to endure and there were some clangers, from one extreme to another, crying and clingy to damn right abusive!

I have read a couple of books like this before, but this is by far my favourite of them. I was smiling pretty much the whole way through, I know this because my face hurts! Odd as it sounds, I want to just climb inside the pages and stay in a happy place with everyone, especially Carlina. What a fab gal she is. I know you must think I am right old nut job, I mean I am, but this book is a safe haven. It is a book to make you smile and to reinforce that there is love in the world.

So slow and long. I felt like the first 45% was backstory and lead up, and was just way too long. And I didn’t find really any of the characters to be sympathetic, so I wasn’t real invested. Just missed the mark for me.

3 stars
Swipe Right is a work place romance with a love/hate relationship mind in.
Fran and Ollie want the same job. They are competitive and seem to be smitten with each other. Itjust seemed a little dragged out to me.

This was a very fresh, bright, modern book about Fran, who we meet as she gets ready for a job interview.

From the off I was right there, giggling as she received multiple messages from relatives telling her to be herself but not too much(!) and going through that awful rigmarole that has to be done to get a job, the ‘we’ll put you into teams and you work together, but remember you’re against one another’ thing. It was vivid and real and I was right there, wondering about Ollie, who was an epic example of someone who can surprise you in the loveliest way with a tiny gesture when you least expect it, after thinking ‘just who does he thing he is?!’

I’ll admit I felt so old reading this, I literally just saw the phrase ‘for the tinder age’ now and thought ‘ahhh okay!!’ Saying that I absolutely flew through it, totally enjoying the chemistry, the settings and the vividness, all paving the way for an extremely heart warming ending.

Thanks so much to Sarah from Books on the Bright Side for the book in return for an honest review and for allowing me to be part of the blog tour.

I enjoyed this very much, which isn't something I can say about most of the recent chick lit books. This had the right amount romance and twists to keep me interested and keep the book moving. Is it predictable? Aren't they all? But the stuff in the middle kept it interesting and fresh. Anyone that has ever used a dating app will relate to Fran and will even have their own bad date stories.

Thank you NetGalley and BOTBS for a complimentary copy. I voluntarily reviewed this book. All opinions expressed are my own.

REVIEW ☆☆☆
I'm so glad my dating days were during the prehistoric era when people actually met in person and had a real conversation. Maybe I'm just old (fortyish), but the whole swipe this way or that way concept is ludicrous and superficial to me. I'm in the middle about this book, Swipe Right. On one hand, it's a cute entertaining story that is basically a romcom. There are humorous moments and serious moments. Fran and Ollie are interesting characters. Fran is sympathetic but frustrating because she needs to stand up for herself and be clear about her intentions in life. Ollie is not completely likeable, and he didn't grow on me like characters do sometimes. He was too modern, too aloof and kind of a jerk at times. On the other hand, the story is slow going and the plot seemed all over the place with the character's relationship constantly changing. It was too much for me personally. I like a simpler story, but other readers like complicated and will love this aspect. It just boils down to preference. I would recommend trying Swipe Right if you enjoy modern romcoms. The story is not bad, but it's not my favorite.

This is definitely a book to read if you enjoy romcoms. The romance was a little bit too slow for me but overall it is a good read

A great romantic comedy about young people who are looking for love in places where love has nothing to do with.
For some people, online dating is working out but for many it doesn’t and that makes them more aware of their friends and how most of them are living a very superficial life.
I laughed out loud many times and I can totally understand the sarcasm in other scenes and I will recommend this book for an easy, funny and light story that many people will enjoy.

This story will take you on the journey of one woman’s quest to find “the one” (or honestly, just a decent guy) on Tinder.
What I really enjoyed about this book is that the MC Fran decides to love her life in more honestly and speak her truth instead of staying quiet more often to keep the peace. Also, the dynamic between Fran and Ollie is very fun and relatable.
