Thank you to NetGalley and Wattpad Webtoon book group for the ARC of this title. I would say that overall I enjoyed it!

Chloe goes on a blind date with Jack and has and incredible time. When she's texts him later, though she gets an unexpected response. When she can't find him anymore she searches New York to find him. Though, I enjoyed most parts of this story, I found the main male character to be somewhat untrustworthy and thus I wasnt rooting for Chloe and him to make it as much I probably would have been. I just felt like he told a lot of half truths and I wasn't a fan of that. I did like the main character, Chloe and thought she was very relatable. If you're looking for a sweet rom com I'd say it's worth the read. Thanks for the opportunity to review it!

Chloe Baker's Lost Date by Katie Wicks was a fun and fabulous rom-com.
Katie crafts a charming story filled with relatable characters and genuine emotions.
I thought this was an entertaining and charmingly enjoyable read.
That captivated me from the very beginning. The author did a fabulous job with the execution, the characters and the development of the romance.

I would like to thank NetGalley and Wattpad Books for the opportunity to read this ahead of its publication date in return for my honest review.

I couldn’t put this book down. Super cute story with great characters. It did drag a bit in the middle, but i couldn’t stop reading. Loved the meta rom-com stuff.

I received an ARC from Netgalley and the publisher.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It had all of the classic rom-com components that I live for. Chloe's character development throughout the story was excellent. I absolutely LOVED Kit and Chloe's friendship. I did have a little difficulty with the back and forth dialogue that went on for many lines without explicitly stating who was talking, so I did have to re-read at times, but was always able to get back on track. Overall, a delightful, quick read.

Loved this! I haven't read Katie Wicks' debut, but this definitely convinced me to pick it up.
The story was fresh and unique, and the tension and love between MMCs was lovely, from the meetcute all the way to their HEA.

Chloe & Ben's interactions are hilarious from the get go, and their chemistry is palpable. And I know everyone hates third act conflicts, but I honestly didn't mind this one!

Overall, really enjoyed and recommend giving it a try!

Thank you NetGalley and Katie Wicks for the ARC copy

I loved the friendship of Chloe and Kit — it’s nice to have your person! The meeting of the two main characters is fun and romantic and certainly adds a twist to the novel as it progresses.

Chloe Baker's Lost Date was a delight to read. When Chloe decides to jump back into the dating scene and her date arrives late the story takes an unanticipated turn. The ups and downs from that point take the reader on the journey along with Chloe. This was a quick read as I didn't want to put it down to see who the story would end. There was the right mix of suspense, comedy, and romance to keep readers interested. I really enjoyed this one and look forward to further books by Wicks.

Thank you for the pleasure of reading. If you are a person that enjoys a lot of dialogue then this is the book for you. Personally as someone that has never been to New York and has only seen movies I wish it would have been more descriptive of what the MC was experiencing. However I did enjoy that I also felt second hand embarrassment with the character so that was a good thing for me to feel!

This book was fantastic. It follows Chloe in her life in NYC - her blind date with Jack and all that follows. A funny cute romcom that I could not put down. Fun banter and an overall great story.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC!

This was a cute book overall. Some parts were a bit hard to get into but there were definitely some parts that made me laugh and Chloe’s character came off as sweet and likable. I probably would not read this book again but at the same time don’t feel like it was a waste of time to read either.

So Im gonna be honest when I first opened this book it took me FOREVER to actually get to actually understanding it. It did have some parts that were interesting but overall it was a hard for me to get into. I ended up stopping about 50% through but maybe ill again at another time. Thank you allowing the opportunity to check it out!

I’ve been to NYC a few times. Not once did I randomly bump into someone I knew, and I was there with friends!

I did accidentally find my way across Central Park to the Met in the pouring rain on a frigid December morning, actually. But, at no point at the Met did I find any worker willing to chat with me.

I got stood up on a date once. He convinced me he was in a car wreck (I saw photos of the car - not sure they were real), but once another red flag appeared, it was bye-bye. I definitely wouldn’t have gone on an all-out hunt for him after realizing he had lied about his identity.

This book has so many times where I almost set it aside and said ENOUGH. There is meet-cute and then there is meet so contrived that it’s no good. Frankly, by the end, I was rooting for the guy she didn’t want. I was done with these two. I stayed done- I didn’t care if they were HFN, and maybe HEA. That sounds harsh, I know, but I would like a romance where females (and males) could learn to identify red flags and learn from them instead of romanticize them. Hmmm, I think that was even mentioned in the book!

Chloe has a perfect blind date with Jack. But after that one day, she can't reach him.... Chloe pulls out all the stops to find him...

A terrific rom-com. Chloe is perfect in this book. So funny and sweet. So many LOL scenes. The characters all have great chemistry and are great fun together. Really enjoy it.

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.

I really did not like this book...had to just put it in DNF section as there was not much of a story for starter's and I really think it lack so much of potential which can make this book a huge read of the readers considering the plotline. However the story as it continued also shows much loophole as the major one I realise was the recognition of the heroine date itself when she already had seen him in photos provided by her friend Kit.

It was not impressive enough and I had to regrettably DNF at 30%of the book...

Chloe Baker’s Lost Date by Katie Wicks takes readers on a whirlwind journey through the highs and lows of Chloe’s new life in New York City. The story begins with a promising blind date, leaving her brimming with anticipation. However, when Jack arrives late, the story takes an unexpected turn, creating an air of suspense and intrigue. This novel explores the complexities of modern dating and the lengths one would go to for love. A compelling and heartwarming read that reminds us that sometimes, the journey to love is as important as the destination!
