Can you say squee? Because I did when I finsihed this book. Swipe Right is everything its title promises - a funny, heartwarming, engaging, and absolutely transporting romantic comedy. Five stars!

It is a well known fact that I absolutely bloody hate books written in first person. I don't know why, I don't know when it started, it's just become a fact of life.

On the very rare occasion, I'll find a book in first person narrative that is so good, so well written, that I forgot I hate first person, sometimes I even think that maybe I've judged it unfairly.

This book, though.

Oh. My. God. This book!

The chemistry between Ollie and Fran was palpable from the very beginning. The additional characters, the colleagues at Viral Hive, just everyone, was amazing. I don't think I have Ever been this into a book written in first person narrative before, I actually forgot that it was even written in first person before I even got to chapter 3.

I'm not even sure I can explain how much I loved this. I laughed, I cried, I got really bloody annoyed. I am actually annoyed with myself for not having read anything by this author before.

Seriously, if you don't buy this book and love it then you're basically as bad as Awful Lou.

Thank you NetGalley and Hera Books for a chance to read and review this book early.

This is not my first Stephie Chapman book. I have read 'Call Me Maybe' and I have to say that I like this one a lot more. It was witty and fun and I enjoyed reading it. The plot is based on Tinder dating sites which I found a lot more original and interesting. It was a sweet rom-com between two friends who had a lot of potential to be more than that. I found it refreshing and would definitely recommend it to the fans of Mhairi Mcfarlane and Sophie Renald. Hope you enjoy it.

Stay safe and happy reading!!

Very early on in this book, I thought "this seems eerily familiar, kind of like When Harry Met Sally...but more current" so I loved seeing in the author's letter at the end of the novel that she came up with the idea for the story based on When Harry Met Sally!

So, like I said, it was a familiar premise, but it felt fresh with the more current updates: Tinder, the work environment based on Buzzfeed, and the general use of phones and social media. Fran was very likable, and I (much like her online fanbase) loved reading her exploits with her Tinder dates - though I have never used Tinder myself, her stories do not sound very far off from the tales I've heard from others. Ollie was a fantastic leading man, very sweet and attentive. I loved this book and will continue to think about the main characters for a long, long time.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Hera Books for this ARC - all opinions are my own, and I'll be sharing these opinions (and my wholehearted recommendation) with all of my friends.

This book was just perfect, the characters were great, the chemistry between Fran and Ollie was just fantastic.
The way the writing just flowed and the plot was just brilliant. It was a book that i just couldn't put down, you knew where the story was going but you just had to keep reading to get there. After reading this i will definitely be reading more by this author.

I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would! It's a well-crafted modern take on a familiar trope. Fran and Ollie are competitors for a job and end up realizing that they make an excellent team, so much so that they become collaborators instead of competitors. Their close friendship and brilliant working relationship is not without the drama though, and they are tested time and time again. Stephie Chapman writes compelling characters and narrative that makes you want to keep reading.

Well, this was adorable. I was pleased to find there was some meat to the story and not just generic romance fluff.

Kindly received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book was cute! Fran and Ollie are after the same job, but there’s no denying there’s immediate attraction between the two along with a bit of rivalry. When their paths cross again there’s no denying there’s something between them and the book takes you along for the journey.

I immediately wished I worked at Viral Hive and these characters were my coworkers! They were fun, charismatic and enjoyable. Loved the immediate attraction between Fran and Ollie and couldn’t wait to see where Chapman took them!

This is modern story but with wide appeal, based in part about modern dating but primarily about the friendship between work colleagues Fran and Ollie. From the first meeting at a job interview where Fran thought he was full of himself they start working together and gradually become friends of sorts. I liked Fran, she has lots of good qualities but also human weaknesses too although she has a strong backbone when needed. I can only judge Ollie from Fran’s perspective, I think I would have enjoyed a few Ollie chapters to understand him better, especially regarding his relationship with Lou however overall you could see he had some good qualities with a good dose of charm thrown in. The chemistry between Lou and Ollie was well written but I liked that they both had integrity. Overall this is a solid rom-com of a book.

This was cute, fun, and surprisingly delved deep into emotions - not just a fluffy read. It reminded me a lot of Sally Rooney, but with a little bit more levity to it. I'd recommend it to those that are interested in reading a contemporary, young fiction story with romance elements to it. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the digital ARC.

Swipe Right by Stephie Chapman!

This book follows the life of Fran, who during her interview for the role of Content Creator meets the very cool and very handsome Ollie. When they both get the job the pair overcome their differences and become the hilarious work wife/husband duo. Unable to be together due to their partners - the very annoying Lou and the very emotionally abusive Lucas, this pair become best friends instead! This is a great book with a brilliant plot, it’s something a bit different to the usual rom-com books. I love the relationship between Fran and Ollie, Chapman keeps you guessing as to wether or not this couple will ever find their timing and be together. Fran and Ollie were loveable characters (except for maybe how Ollie acts towards the end, you’ll have to read and find out what I mean) and the author excelled at making us despise both Lou and Lucas. My only complaint about this book is that it ended too soon, I would have loved to read more about these characters as they are finally reunited. This Book gets four stars from me!

Thanks to NetGalley and Hera Books for the opportunity to read and review this book! I am convinced that all the Love Island I've been marathoning in quarantine has been preparing me for the UK lingo in this book. But I digress.

This romcom features a not-quite-enemies-to-friends-to-lovers scenario that plays out in a millenial, social media workplace. One thing I enjoyed about Fran and Ollie's story was its toned down realness. Sure, I love high drama and tropes and cheesy one-liners like I love rich chocolate cake, but this book delivered a story that's aware of the complex, sticky realities of modern dating. Fran's on-point accounts of Tinder dates gone wrong strike the perfect balance with crude humor (hilarious) and bitter disappointment (soul-crushing). This is no whirlwind romance but progresses, and sometimes regresses, in fits and starts.

I also appreciated the exploration of misogyny women face daily, whether it's throwaway comments from colleagues or lack of equity in dating. These aren't the purview of villains alone but also well-intentioned men we welcome into our lives. In this story, we see women justifying men's behavior or internalizing demeaning comments, and I empathized with Fran's fight to not be weighed down by it all.

I really enjoyed this book. The relationship between Fran and Ollie was one I absolutely fell in love with as I read this book! As I’m currently in lockdown, I found myself completely immersed in this book and forgot about all the bad news that’s around right now. If you enjoy author Anna Bell’s books, you should love this!

I really enjoyed this book! It has a definite When Harry Met Sally vibe to it and focuses on Fran and Ollie, who initially dislike each other, but then become best friends and “work spouses”, and despite the proddings of all their co workers, maintain that they are just friends. While Ollie continues to date his horrid girlfriend, Fran maximizes her time on Tinder in order to write a column.

This book has THE BEST breakup scene when Fran dumps her douche canoe boyfriend at his work party. It is truly spectacular!! The author does a great job of writing good chemistry between Fran and Ollie and builds great tension that keeps you reading.

My only criticism of the book is that I would have liked more scenes between Fran and Ollie. They jump from enemies to best friends quickly in the books, which we are told, but don’t necessarily see. Fran has plenty of scenes with her other work friend Carlina, and I think the story would have been stronger if some of those had been substituted with more Fran and Ollie scenes.

Overall, a fantastic book that I recommend.

<b> I received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. </b>
<b> 4,5 stars </b>

I absolutely adored this book. I loved that this wasn´t "instant-love", this story had more nuance. This is a funny, charming, feel-good read. I disliked some moments that I´m not gonna spoil right now but they weren´t really relevant in the main scheme of things. Most of the story was as close to perfect as I imagined
The main drawback for me was the ending, I wanted a bit more, a little more of happy before the ending. I will definitely add <i> Stephie Chapman </i> to my list of authors I adore.

I really enjoyed this book.
Fran and Ollie has fantastic chemistry from the offset when they meet at a job interview. Their banter with one another, Fran's seeming distaste for Ollie and Ollie's overconfident I know all attitude really set up an interesting dynamic between the pair. I really enjoyed watching these character grow and friendship with a little flirting bloom.
I found Fran's horrible dates online were hilarious however definitely not situations I would have wanted to be in myself, however her blog posts about them were definitely a highlight of this one.
I could not stand Fran's boyfriend and I guess that was the point but there were moments I wanted to drag him out of the pages of the book just to slap him on Fran's behalf.
Overall I thought this was a hilarious yet sweet fast paced rom-com that had me addicted from the first page.It is definitely a book I will reread in the future and hope to get just as much enjoyment out of it then. 5 out of 5 stars for this one from me. I would highly recommend it.

Thank you to NetGalley and Hera Books for this ARC.

Swipe Right is a twist on an enemies-turn-lovers workplace romance. I enjoyed the fact that it included dating apps and blogs and the trials and tribulations that come with them and what it is like navigating relationships in modern times. Fran and Ollie turn up to the same job interview which launches them on their journey over the course of a year from enemies (perhaps one sided) to colleagues to friends and then more. Fran and Ollie were easy to like and I found myself wanting to knock their heads together to make them realise what was obvious.

I also really enjoyed on a side note that the book placed emphasis on the important of female friendships and the different relationships you can have (childhood friends/work friends/flatmates) and Fran frequently turned to her friends for advice.

I would have liked a '6 months later' on Fran and Ollie’s story to see where they ended up and found myself wanting to know more when I finished the book!

Overall, I really enjoyed this feel good book and I would recommend as an easy read love story.

I feel like I went on a journey of self discovery with Fran. In the beginning, she was meek and subservient and catered to Lucas 's needs at a sacrifice of her own. Once she realized that "Fran can" she blossomed into her true self. Blunt and to the point, she surrounded herself with genuine friends and gave herself professionally and personally. She thrived and never disregarded herself again. That way, when Ollie truly came back, she was ready.

I mean this as a sincere compliment: this book read like one of my favourite slow burn fanfics. After my initial hiccups with Ollie being a dipshit I really really loved how their relationship developed and the ending was so pure!!!!!

Ollie started out as a tool and I’m not a big fan of guys who are jerks and annoying because they can’t express they like someone due to already having a partner or being emotionally stunted.

On the flip, Fran was such an incredible character. She has a wonderful arc of going from self doubting and repeatedly questioning herself to an admirably confident and self assured content creator. I loved the slow arc of change she goes through from break up to Tinder dates to her time spent with Ollie and then finally shrugging of that dire need for romantic validation.

I also thoroughly loved the slow timeline. This takes place over the span of nearly two years (maybe more) so the relationship was incredibly well paced. The timeline truly felt like a clean and sequential development from enemies to friends to lovers. Fran and Ollie’s missed connection moments of just not being ready for the other at the right time really gutted me at times but I didn’t feel impatient about it because there were so many wonderfully heartwarming moments that showed the longevity of their bond.

Ollie really was on the fence for me as a romantic lead. I really only liked him because Fran liked him (which speaks to her character development honestly). He was an annoying little child in the beginning and was unnecessarily territorial despite having a whole ass girl friend, shitty as she was. Like dump the hag and get with Fran or keep your opinions to yourself bro. Fran checks him on that real quick though and Ollie very clearly makes those changes based on her call outs. So there’s that. He made the effort which eventually endeared me to him. He made a dumb fucking decision at a pivotal moment though so he’s on thin ice.

Suze and Carlina were the perfect BFFs to balance out Fran’s dark spots in the narrative, readily available to cheer her up and coach her through rough spots. They felt realistic and strong as supportive friends and I really love reading their parts. Lydia was titled childhood best friend but she was a bit of a tosser yo be QUITE frank. Like I get your husband is your number one but when he sides with a random MAN over your childhood best friend you really need to evaluate if supporting him is the right decision. I also didn’t like how much she meddled. Suze and Carlina on the other hand were there for Fran as she needed them and were tactful about how they imparted their best friend wisdom. Far superior imo but all the same the friendships were really realistic.

I was happy to see that there were family moments involved as well. Fran’s dad features in a couple of parts and it was good to see adults connecting with their parents instead of mentioning them offhand or simply engaging through a phone call.

Overall, a fun read!!

I totally enjoyed this book by Stephie Chapman. I like the plot and her writing style. Will definitely be checking out other books written by her in the future.

When Fran and Ollie meet at an interview at a job they are competing for, Fran is less than impressed with Ollie, though everyone else finds Ollie very charismatic. Eventually, both Fran and Ollie are hired and, after a few rough starts, they become work spouses.

This book made me laugh out loud and shake my head in frustration at online dating.

I really liked Fran and her job sounds amazing. Fran had wonderful co-workers, good friends, an awesome dad...she just lacked the best judgment when it came to dating.

While I really enjoyed this book, I found it to be a touch too long. And I didn’t totally feel the build up between Fran and Ollie. I wish we’d been able to read more scenes where they built up their respect for one another.

3.75/5.

Thank you Netgalley for allowing me to read this heartwarming book in return for my review.

A modern day "when Harry met Sally", our ballsy Fran meets Ollie at a job interview.
Her first impressions are conflicting, she finds him attractive but arrogant.
Sparks fly when they are teamed together, both trying to keep their mutual attraction at bay.

When Fran introduces Ollie to her boyfriend as her friend, Ollie is very much in the belief that men and women can't just be friends, can they?

Newly single Fran is taking on a new column "swipe right....dating in the big smoke", dating men on dating app Tinder and anonymously writing about it. Providing an insight into dating for the millennial, it's full of laughs and raises debates on what is and isn't acceptable behaviour.

I very much enjoyed this book, couldn't put it down, It really was a delight to read.

This was a delightful enemies -to-friends-to-lovers romance. When it starts out with Fran applying for her dream job and finding herself paired up with Ollie who just seems too cool for school. They end up both getting hired in what sounds like a totally fun, hip place to work. Fran is in charge of generating content and Ollie is in charge of crafting the videos that they hope will bring in clips. The sparks are there and they eventually become good friends. The only problem is that they both have partners. And even though their partners totally don’t appreciate how awesome they are, they stick with them.

Everyone, including the reader, knows that they belong together. Unfortunately, it’s going to take them a whole book to figure things out. Isn’t that always the way? Fortunately for us, we can have an entertaining, different sort of read while we follow along.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book that I received from Netgalley; however, the opinions are my own and I did not receive any compensation for my review.

A not-so-guilty pleasure of mine has always been to sit down with a good rom-com, whether it's a film or a book, I just absolutely love it. Swipe Right is an adorable, modern, British romantic comedy, set in a Buzzfeed-esque office, and tells the story of two people absolutely meant for each other, and yet continue to find themselves unavailable or downright unwilling to explore their feelings. It's very "When Harry Met Sally", and I loved it a lot. It made me laugh so many times, and admittedly had me feeling pretty heartbroken in others. I thought the relationship between Fran and Ollie was perfectly written, and it felt so real in the struggles they found themselves in. I found the book easy to read and I fell completely in love with the characters, especially the side characters working in the office, I loved the whole work-family dynamic, it was wonderful. The only thing I wish we'd gotten was more of Fran and Ollie's relationship at the end. Because we'd spent and entire book just waiting and waiting and wishing for them to get together, I really wanted to explore some of their relationship. But that's absolutely just me being selfish and not wanting to let the characters go, so this might not necessarily be a problem for everyone!

Overall, this was such a fun read and if you're in the market for a very British, adorable rom-com, I would absolutely recommend! Thank you so much to Hera Books for sending me this, loved every second!

Swipe Right is a perfect rom com! It’s the story of Ollie and Fran! Two people who meet and have an instant connection! To say this story is about love at first sight, is not completely true! It is also about destiny, and soulmates! There’s an old saying “there’s a lid for every pot”. The story of Ollie and Fran makes you believe in love!
Fran reminds us how tough and sometimes judgmental society can be towards single women! Ollie reminds us that there are good guys out there! This book was a delight! Well written, funny and romantic!

I don’t know about y’all but I just want to read all the rom-coms lately. My heart just needs all the feel good stories.


So this is supposed to be like a modern “When Harry Met Sally”. According to the author she got the idea while watching the movie.
Don’t kill me you guys but I have never watched that movie 🙈 I feel like I should have before I read this!


I really enjoyed this book. It was a fun and easy read. I found myself literally laughing out loud and I love when a book can make people wonder if I’ve gone bonkers. And yes I did pick up some British slang from this book.


This is a modern love story, the author does a fun job of showing us just how awful online dating can be. It’s also very real. And not just insta love.



This book comes out next month! May 13th and you should check it out if you are a fan of rom-coms like me.

This was super cute and, as the blub says, super uplifting—which is exactly the sort of book I needed right now. It's a lovely romance to read when things feel hopeless to spark that feeling that everything will turn out okay.

Blissfully brilliant! I loved reading about the budding friendship between Fran and Ollie and as for Fran’s Tinder experience, hilarious. A great, lighthearted read. Thank you netgalley!

I absolutely loved this book. At first, I thought this would be a classic they meet, they both have significant others, then they break up and get together-- but this was anything but. From the beginning, I was intrigued by Fran and Ollie's respective relationships, and why they both were so committed when everyone else could see why they were perfect for each other. This was one of those books that perfectly described what happens when you meet the perfect person at the wrong time, and the years of events that can happen!

**I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is my first book by this writer. It's a terrific rom-com. The characters are great. The chemistry between the main characters is terrific. It's funny, witty and sassy. What a great story to read during quarantine... or anytime really....

I instantly connected with Fran and Ollie as soon as we meet them. Fran is definitely someone who I would be friends with in the real world. She swears, drinks, smokes and yes I know it’s not good for you but come on! This is the real world.

I was quite envious of Fran and Ollie’s work environment. Going out for lunches and drinks after work. People bringing in pastries for breakfast, it’s one big happy team. I did have my doubts about Fran doing the dating column and whilst some of my doubts were proven right, it does make for some seriously fun reading. Especially one such date of which I will say no more so as not to spoil it for others.

There is a blossoming relationship of sorts growing throughout the story. The readers can see it but it takes the characters a bit longer so you get a, will they ever get it together vibe.

Swipe Right was the perfect read in these uncertain times that brought some much welcomed relief. Fran’s story kept me wholly engaged and had me shaking my head and laughing at some of her antics. There was also the odd times where I wanted to give her a great big hug. A fun and light hearted read.

Is this a book I needed to read right now... yes, yes it was!

Stephie Chapman has written a funny, charming and relatable tale of life in our current times (ok in our pre-COVID-19 times but that can be forgiven). There is a lot going well for our main character Fran and you route for her right from the get-go! She's driven, smart, witty and seems to be a genuinely good person. Enter Ollie, a character you want to really like but there is just something about him that's holding you back from going all-in on this too cool for school charmer!

This may be the slowest burn pseudo romance to rule them all. The tension is sort of there and you KNOW where everything is going but there are chapters where Ollie doesn't really factor in. He's dating Lou, awful Lou, and Fran after a spectacular scene at a Christmas party, is back on the dating scene and writing about it. While they view each other as work spouses and good friends I had a hard time buying it simply because of the space between interactions. One day they are cold and the next not and by the next I mean 4 months later, but we aren't given much of a view. We are just told to accept it. I kind of wish we saw more of the progression from adversaries to friends.

I say pseudo romance as most of this book revolves around Fran finding her way back to herself. At times you think it's going to get heavy into the romantic elements but it doesn't really. Even what we build up to is a bit anticlimactic!

Honestly, in the end, I'm not sure I was totally sold. On one hand, I was clapping but on the other, I didn't think there was enough and I was still kind of not in love with all the things Ollie did or didn't do in some cases!

I can overlook my concerns shall we call them, because I genuinely enjoyed this book! It made me laugh and question things and cheer. It made me happy and gave me an escape when I'm stuck at home! And ultimately that's what you want a book to do!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy in exchange for an honest review.

The story of Fran and Ollie who work with each other. When they meet she is with Lucas and he is with Lou, but they click. When Fran breaks up with Lucas she starts tinder dating and writing a blog about it. , and Ollie is off round the world with Lou, so will they ever have a chance of getting together?

I liked how it was written solely from Fran's point of view, but it would have been interesting to know what Ollie was thinking sometimese too, especially towards the end of the book.

Thank you to NetGalley, Hera books and Stephie Chapman for giving me that warm fuzzy feeling where you don’t dare hope for that ending...but really really want that ending.
Our two main characters are Ollie and Fran. Both go for an interview. It’s clear, from the off, that these two have a spark. But will it ever be more? When they both end up working in the company we do wonder. Everyone around them seems to think they make a great couple - but each has a partner.
For seemingly ages Fran and Ollie walk the line of friends who quite fancy each other. It’s all very When Harry Met Sally without the annoying leads, a lot more alcohol and no fake-orgasm scene.
There’s a warmth between the two characters that seems very genuine. They open up to each other in a way that you can’t help but envy...but nothing happens.
Hang fire. Don’t get disheartened. Sometimes you just need to wait for the right time to put everything in place. Of course, it might not happen - but that really would have been a miserable read.

Fran and Ollie meet during a group interview for the same job and immediately Ollie rubs her the wrong way. After both being hired and several months the two form what Fran thinks is an unlikely friendship. When Fran's long term relationship ends in spectacular fashion she decides to use it to her advantage and starts blogging about online dating. At the height of Fran's dating disasters, Ollie and his girlfriend take off on a year-long adventure traveling the world. When both implode and Ollie returns early, the only person he wants to see is Fran.

Swipe Right is an agonizingly delicious, slightly frustrating slow burn in the best way possible. Every time I would think, this is it, this is the moment, it wasn't. I adored these two, Fran was so brave and unapologetically her self. Ollie was so sweet (for the most part, aside from the incident), you can see his affection for Fran through their friendship. It's funny, with good characters both main and side, witty banter, and a few moments that feel like a punch to the heart. I enjoyed everything about this book, definitely recommend.

A light-hearted, fun, laugh-out-loud read!

Chapman writes with refreshing honesty what it's really like to date in the world of dating apps. Her characters are funny and brilliantly relatable (that break-up scene was epic!).

There are some touching moments too as Fran begins to value herself and realize the importance of doing things for known happiness rather than anyone else.

This book is very 'Harry Met Sally' - The perfect fix for lovers of romantic comedy!

Thanks to Hera Books & Netgalley for sending me this in exchange for an open and honest review.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This novel reminded me of a modern day Beauty and the Best. Fran and Ollie don't exactly hit it off after Fran had formed her first opinion of Ollie. The pair met during a group interview for the same job position and Fran perceived Ollie to be cocky and self-absorbed. However, once they are "stuck" together, she realizes maybe he is a bit more tolerable to be around than she initially thought. They are each juggling work and relationships with their significant others, while forming a friendship with each other.
I enjoyed the inclusion of the modern elements of dating (e.g., blog posts, Tinder, content creation, etc.), as well as the depiction of text messages and emails. It really made me feel like I was in the story myself. While the book was full of humor, I struggled with at first because I didn't feel like Fran's friends were the kind of people that she needed, especially in the midst of her rather toxic relationship. However, as her story evolved, so did the characters, and I found myself invested in the story fairly quickly. The ending was a bit abrupt for me. I would have loved to follow the story some more! This was a light read, full of humor and cringe-worthy first dates, I recommend to anyone looking for a fun, light read. It was the RomCom that I needed!

This was an extremely heart warming book that grew on me towards the end. Initially it took me some time to get to love this book because the characters seemed a little flat and the plot a little superficial. But as we travelled with Fran, I came to realize that this is a story of insta-love or in this case tinder-love that we will all grow to love. Fran by herself is a jerk magnet to which most of us can relate. She meets the most obnoxiously weird guys and writes about them on her blog.

This is a story where the main characters are obviously in love with each other, and everyone but them knows this. One of my favourite settings of the book was Viral Hive, a workplace for content creators that seemed amazing. The co-workers are supportive of each other and have all the possible fun over Christmas and even Halloween. It's the kind of place I would not mind working.

Those of you who loved the book Where Rainbows End by Cecelia Ahern and the movie Love, Rosie can pick this one up without hesitation

This is a fun and light-hearted read! Join Fran in her dating adventures and trying to find her way to love. We can all relate to her in one way or another as she makes this journey. Funny, and a great way to escape for a while.

First of all I have to say I really enjoyed this story.
The characters came to life and I found myself falling a little bit in love with Ollie. He is the right amount of funny, charming, flirtatious and an all round good guy.... Except for his girlfriend.. Lou... She is a thorn in his side and he doesn't realise it.
Fran is a brilliant character, she is a bit gullible and although she is fuesty, she has a bit of a soft side too. Her and Ollie start off with a very rocky friendship which then turns in to a gorgeous friendship which comes with a few ups and downs.
This is a story of work, careers, friendships, love, the highs and lows of Internet dating and finding the one.
I thoroughly enjoyed it and I want to thank the author, the publishers and Netgalley for allowing me the opportunity to read this ARC for my honest review

Most people know I am a huge thriller type reader but I gave this book a chance. I am so glad I did! It is very sweet, charming and just all around heartwarming book. This book didn’t take me long to read, it took about a day to finish. It sucked me in from the beginning, and I couldn’t seem to put it down.

This book show you joys of online dating, and the truth behind it. It shows you that it isn’t alway rainbows and butterflies at first that you most people literally just want the hook up.

Ollie and Fran had chemistry from the beginning but they were just friends. They worked so well together and they just clicked. They were both dating people when they met so of course at first they were just your typical work partners and that was it. They weren’t friends but eventually they grew to like each other and were inseparable. Sometimes the person you are meant to be with can be right in front of you and you just don’t know. Sometimes the timing isn’t always perfect but eventually if you are meant to be together you will be. Their chemistry was amazing, and kept me on my toes and wanting more.

This book was amazing, and highly recommend it if you are wanting a charming romance to fall in love with.

Although it took me a bit to get into it, Swipe Right was such a sweet, heartwarming read. Like I’ve mentioned before, any contemporary novel that follows a young women in media will always draw me in. I related to Frannie’s character and was rooting for her the whole time. And don’t even get me started on the chemistry between her and Ollie 😍

It also helps that I got some serious Anna and the French kiss vibes (xoxo @stephanieperkins). Thanks to @netgalley for the ARC. Definitely looking forward to more from this author!

This book was a light entertaining read about Ollie and Fran, who are work spouses. I enjoyed seeing their relationship evolve from fierce competitors to true friends. There was always an air of mystery to Ollie, you never could quite figure out what he was thinking, and I loved that.

Fran's online dating escapades were sometimes funny, sometimes sad, mostly all crazy on some level. I could feel Fran's disappointment throughout the process.

This was a great book about friendships and relationships with great character development. You really got to know the personalities of Ollie and Fran as well as the people they worked with. This book was a great read from beginning to end.

Thank you Hera Books and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thanks to NetGalley for a chance to read this book!
4-4,5 stars from me.
There is nothing to not like about this book. Though slow-paced, it was not as predictable, there was always something coming up more, the story turned out so nicely. It has a nice, good ending we all want to see and hear about these days. An uplifting spirit that everything does turn out as it is supposed to turn out.
Minus - at some point, especially at the beginning, there were quite many characters and it got confusing, who is who.

Thank you NetGalley for providing this arc for review.

Swipe Right is a rom-com book about two people who meet at a new job at Viral Hive. I love the fun vibrant office culture and down to earth manager. In the beginning, It took me a while to get invested into the book. I felt like I couldn’t connect to the characters in any way! I pushed my way through, and as I kept reading, the story seems to draw you in. Suddenly, you become a part of Fran’s life and you cared(at least I cared). The ending was kind of cheesy.. but I still loved it. I wouldn’t have asked of anything less.

This isn't your typical enemies to lovers book! It starts out as two people getting the same job and by the end of it, they have both ditched their significant others and become one. It was an enjoyable read and a breath of fresh air.

I enjoyed this book as a nice diversion from all the current world issues. It tells the story of Fran & Ollie who meet white interviewing for the same job... which they both get.
Thereafter follows the tale from colleagues to friends to dating and love - though it’s not quite that straight forward...

To start with both Fran & Ollie are dating other people and although it’s clear to see the Fran’s relationship is wrong for her Ollie’s is a bit more ‘secretive’ to the point that I didn’t realise he had a girlfriend when he first pursued Fran. I thought all of the main characters were likeable - especially Fran - and enjoyed seeing her grow in confidence throughout the book. Although you know where the story is heading, the road through the relationships ending, dating other people to the pair getting together was entertaining and humorous throughout and a bit of real Rom Com escapism. Light and easy reading.

Thanks to Hera Books, NetGalley and Stephie Chapman for an ARC of this book.

This was a great lighthearted read (and it gave me sooo many nostalgic London feels)! It was witty and had a great main character in Fran. Her and Ollie’s chemistry was great, but it was also told realistically. There were a few times in the book that I got a little confused by the pacing, and had to go back and double check where we were at but for the most part I really enjoyed reading Swipe Right. Overall I would give this book 3.5 stars.

Thanks to the publisher for providing me an eARC of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review!

I am a huge fan of all chick lit, especially from the UK, and Swipe Right checks off all the boxes!

Fran and Ollie meet when they are both interviewing for the same job. When they both get hired and start to work together, sparks fly.....except they can't act on their attraction because they both have significant others! 

In a modern day "Harry Met Sally", we see the story from Fran's perspective on whether men and women can truly be friends. Read along, smile with glee, squeal with happiness and sigh with contentment. A great read!!

The last part of the story focuses on romance. We remain in a traditional register but its end makes us smile. It is an enemy to friends to lovers story that we take pleasure in reading. It has Christmas scents. We want to read this with a plaid on our knees and a cup of hot chocolate. It's really cute and we take pleasure in rereading it just for the excitement it arouses.
