Thank You, Next (Not the Song)
Thank you to Nergalley & Bookoture for the chance to read an early copy of Sophie Ranald's newest, romantic comedy, Thank You, Next out on November 30th!
Wow this book was excellent! It was full of banter and wit and I loved every second of it. I think part of the reason why this book is so entertaining is because not only is the author a great comical writer, but she also makes situations that her characters encounter so relatable; and that makes all the difference.
When I first read her Just Sayin' novel, it was the first time I read anything by her and instantly fell in love. The book made me laugh and made me feel good and that's what I enjoyed most. I was not surprised to find similar feelings with this one.
There wasn't much plot to this one, and that's okay. Despite there being minimal plot, the story reads as if you were being told a story by one of your best friends. There is also a lot of self-discovery and growth that our main character, Zoe, goes through during the course of this novel.
Does that name sound familiar? Good, because Zoe was a side character in Just Sayin' and it was great to see her have her own story. Of course, you don't need to read Just Sayin' first, but it's nice to have because the settings and characters that are mentioned are familiar to the reader as they appeared in the other novel. Zoe's character was kind of shitty in Just Sayin' but absolutely redeemed herself in this one!
The summary of this story is that Zoe is eager to get back into the dating scene and enjoy her 20's while she still can. She ends up signing up for Tinder, reluctantly at first, and comes up with an idea with her best friend Robbie that she is going to date 12 guys, each representing a different zodiac sign, using her daily horoscope as a guide on compatibility. (I bet you can guess how that goes). She ends up falling into several awkward situations and develops relationships where she wasn't even looking.

I really did have a great time reading this book and I am very eager to read Sophie Ranald's backlist titles. Any new titles from her will be an automatic request on my part because these books are serious GEMS and should be treated as so. They are light-hearted and fun. They are the perfect recipe to get you out of whatever reading slump you have fallen in to. I can promise you that!
