Penny wise or pound foolish? A heartbroken young Brit decides to turn his love life over to the flip of a coin--in this delightfully British rom-com in the vein of Jenny Colgan, Rosie Curtis, Nick Hornby, and David Nicholls.To coin a phrase, Josh is suffering a quarter-life crisis. He just broke up with his long-term girlfriend, lost his job, and moved back home with his parents (shudder). Welcome to rock bottom in Bristol. As Josh starts questioning all his life choices, he has a mad thought: Maybe he would just be better flipping a coin. After all, careful planning has landed him homeless, jobless, and single. What starts as a joke soon becomes serious and Josh decides to start putting his faith in the capriciousness of currency. He doesn't have anything to lose. But when the chance of a lifetime and the girl of his dreams are on the line, will the coin guide him to a rich love life or leave him flat broke?

Really enjoyed the plot of this, which is the only reason I kept reading. I found the general writing style and especially the dialogue very awkward and unnatural. Which could be overlooked as characterization if it had been consistent. But it wasn't. Still a cute story, so there's that. #27-2023

Cute rom-com story about a guy who is trying to find himself after a breakup with a long time girlfriend. He feels his life decisions have not worked out too great. So he makes a New Year's resolution to flip a coin for the decisions. Loved the MC. He was so imperfect in the best way possible. You can't help but sympathize with him. 4⭐

Cupcake12 I read this recently too. Would you base your decisions on the flip of a coin? I wouldn‘t I‘m too much of a wimp! 😂 A good read. Glad you enjoyed it x (edited) 3y
TheSpineView @Cupcake12 I am with you. I am not a person to give up control. 3y
