Worst Wingman Ever (The Improbably Meet-Cute #2) by Abby Jimenez

 

Summary (from the publisher): They’re falling in love, yet they’ve never met. Maybe fate can intervene in a heartwarming “what-if” short story about new beginnings by the New York Times bestselling author of Yours Truly.

Holly is dealing with the impending death of her grandmother and still reeling from a bad breakup. One bright spot: a Valentine’s Day card on Holly’s windshield—even if it wasn’t meant for her. An amusing mistake soon turns into a lovely exchange of anonymous notes, little acts of kindness, and a growing affection between two strangers. What happens when one of them has to say goodbye?

Abby Jimenez’s Worst Wingman Ever is part of The Improbable Meet-Cute, irresistibly romantic stories about finding love when and where you least expect it. They can be read or listened to in one sitting. Let’s make a date of it.

Review: I was having withdrawals from Abby Jimenez after reading two of her books earlier this month, so I sought out this novella length book by her. How can she reel me in and charm me in under one hundred pages?? Despite being so short, she did an amazing job at creating a rich story and characters with great chemistry and relatively fleshed out backgrounds. I always appreciate that her characters have issues and interests far beyond their love interest. In this book, Holly is dealing with caring for her dying grandmother. It was such an adorable meet-cute that the pair met because of a mix up with a love letter on her windshield courtesy of the "worst wingman ever."

Obviously, my biggest complaint with this book is it left me wanting more! I would love a full-length story about this pair. On the other hand, I did feel like the story was surprisingly satisfying for such a brief book. I listened to this on audio, which was wonderful as most of her audiobooks are. This was a dual narration, which always adds so much to the story. At just over an hour, I felt like I got a full beginning, middle, and end to this love story.
