I had high hopes for this one, but, unfortunately, they were not met. Helen was frustrating and wholly unlikable, and there were so many cringe-worthy moments throughout the story that made me wince. I just couldn't bring myself to care or be invested in her story. The writing was also rather cliched and childish, so it felt kind of immature.

The premise of this book started great, a first date with potential may now be lost when the dating app information dissapears, all this has lots of potential to go in many interesting directions, but the main character acts and make choices that seem out of place for someone her age so the storyline felt off.

Loved this book. My first book from this author. Made me a total fan with this book. would read this again and again.

As someone who feels like I’m never going to meet my person, this book was a cute and refreshing read. I devoured this book and am so thankful for the advanced copy

I have to say it took me a while to get into this book, and the reading style was something to get used too. I can’t elaborate too much without giving spoilers, but it was entertaining and I liked the focus on the importance of good friends and family, along side the romance. I absolutely adored Ish and Elle.

Really struggled with this one and just didn’t connect with the characters. Unfortunately couldnt quite finish this one to the end like I had hoped.

Sadly this didn't land for me. The writing was stereotypical and often quite childish. The story had many cringe-worthy moments and the main character Helen was just....frustrating. I did enjoy her relationship with her Grandma, but everything else just fell flat. Thank you HarperCollins UK Publishing and NetGalley for the ARC.

I loved this book so much! Her writing is always spot on and this was no different! Such a great story and strong characters

Really want to love this one based on the premise, but...it was very unrealistic and Helen made me sad.

I did not finish this book. Nothing against the book itself, I think it was just not a good personality fit for me. I'm a 32 year old female who is thankfully confident in who she is as a person and where I'm at in life and at least the first 4 chapters of this book, which is where I got to, the premise was the main character feeling like there was something wrong with her because she didn't have a man and spending all her energy examining her ex-boyfriend's new life with his now fiance on social media.

I think that if I had read this book a few years ago it would have probably been very intriguing but I'm just at a different stage in my life where I'm looking for a little more confidence in the characters I read. I think that if I had been the right audience for this book it would have been somewhere around 3 stars for me, though my rating isn't truly fair because I did not finish the book.

The Last First Date has a cute story line about a hopeless romantic, yet to find her true love. Unfortunately, even though the storyline interested me, I could not get into the book. I had a very hard time connecting with Helen the main character. She seemed so ‘blah’ and boring. This boom fell extremely flat for me and I had a very hard time finishing it

Sadly, I struggled with this book. There were a few errors there that even for a proof copy I felt out of place and should have been corrected.

This one was a DNF for me. I will not be posting a review of it but thank you for sending I think people would like this one it just wasn't for me. Thank you again for the copy.

Unfortunately this book didn't do it for me. I struggled to get into it and therefore didn't finish it

this wasn’t the type of romance i expected to get myself into … i thought of it more as a self-discovery journey. i was super excited at the beginning because it felt too good to be real that elle found brody so easily. they seemed to get along quite well, that is … until their dating app crashes and they’re left with no way to contact each other. from there, the plot left me hanging. i wish i could’ve connected with elle or ish a bit more but it all felt awkward. to me, this had to do with the fact that elle was still hung up on finding brody when clearly, the universe was telling her it wasn’t meant to be. she keeps bringing him into her mind even when she’s with ish … and when brody does happen to reappear in the novel, he’s quite the disappointment. however, i will say that i loved the interaction between elle and her grandmother. i enjoyed the conversations they shared with each other and the romantic advice her grandmother gave elle. i also thought elle’s two best friends were so supportive of her, even when they weren’t entirely on board for her to initially pursue brody

I honestly had difficulty getting into this book, and I was not able to finish it. I only got up to about 30%. Thank you so much for giving me the chance to review this book.

I struggled a bit with this book, the plot felt like something I’d seen before. Woman goes on first date with a man via dating app, the app loses all its data and chaos ensues whereby the woman tries to find the man. I felt Helen was really unrelatable and came across a bit desperate in her search for Brody, the dialogue wasn’t great and I didn’t like that the Elle was a walking talking Latin stereotype.

I throughly enjoyed this novel. In fact, it’s one of the few lately that has held my attention throughout the entire story. While I could see a few things coming, I never felt like rushing though it. I would definitely recommend it to friends.

The story did not feel original and the characters were bland and uninteresting. I like a good romance story and always enjoy them when they make me laugh. Instead, this book from Quinn bored me close to tears and it felt like a copy of so many other books I have read recently.
It is supposed to be funny but I found it tedious because it felt so reminiscent of similar stories. Although some of the character developments were surprising, it still wasn’t enough to keep me entertained and invested in the story. Despite loving Brody’s plea for a final first date in a hope to settle down, I don’t think the plot delivered that cutesy romance that is also implied by the cover. There was a lot of chat and not much else happening, when I think I would have preferred Brody to be less of an enigma and maybe even switching to his narrative perspective to add more depth to the story.
To be honest, this was just about ok for a romance read but it was not very interesting. I thought so much more could have been done with the plot to make it entertaining. I enjoyed the different direction that Quinn eventually took the plot but, in my opinion, this was far too late coming and made for a slow and predictable narrative.

I found this book a little slow to get in to at first. The main character felt a little lacklustre for me, lining after this man she had an incredible date with. The story fell slightly flat through the middle. I did enjoy the ending though and the premise is one I hadn't read before.
