Noni Blake is still recovering from a break up with her girlfriend of 9 years. After a night with her best friend and making a "should have boned" list, Noni embarks on a quest. A rom-com about self-discovery and being true to your inner voice. I liked that the main character was bisexual. Maybe this will become a more mainstream trend.

Thanks to NetGalley and Harleqiun/MIRA for the digital ARC!

I loved this book. I didn't expect to love it, I just saw it on NetGalley and thought I'd give it a chance. I'm so so glad that I did.

This book is funny, sometimes ridiculous, totally relatable and so honest it can be uncomfortable. Like, squirming-in-your-seat uncomfortable. So uncomfortable I wasn't sure I was going to like it, even a little bit into it. But I loved it so much. It's such a charming story centered on self love and empowerment, filled with quirky characters and strong bonds. It's definitely not for the faint of heart, as there is a lot of sexual content and chances are high that some of it will make you feel weird to read. But it's so fun following this charismatic bi/pansexual protagonist as she tries to figure herself out and get to a place where she can feel comfortable in her skin and satisfied with her life. It's a lot of fun, with some too-close-to-home themes like self loathing, fat shaming, and having a difficult relationship with sex. But it also normalizes mental health and therapy, non-heternormative relationships, and self love. By the time you meet the main love interest, you can't help but fall head over heels for him. And as much as the HEA is wonderful, it is also so good to see Noni realize that her happiness comes from herself, from respecting herself, and from doing what feels right; rather than having it be from other people. I loved this book, and would definitely recommend it!

If you are tired of slogging along through 2020 (and who isn't by this point), then It's Been a Please, Noni Blake is the book for you. Tired of her somewhat boring life and job, Noni is spurred on by a missed romance to head to Europe for six months and rediscovered herself. A bit of Eat, Pray, Love without the praying and a whole bunch of the love, this novel really exemplifies escapism at its best and is sure to satisfy any reader of women's lit.

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for my unbiased opinion.

This book is a great inspirational read. As we follow Noni on her ‘Pleasure Quest‘ to Europe to find what pleases her specifically- it gives the reader insight as to what we all need... to find ourselves again in the crazy world.

The journey was so much more, but the story warmed my heart to follow Noni and her emotional roller coaster.

This was a cute book and was quite different from other Harlequin novels I've read since this one has a bisexual main character. So, if that is not for you, then perhaps pass on this book. However, I really enjoyed it as a light palette cleanser between heavier reads. It is about time that we read books where women continue to go after their desires and follow their hearts, regardless of societal pressures. This book celebrates that and I really enjoyed it! The main character is likeable and the book was cute! Yet another wonderfully enjoyable Harlequin romance!!
