“Getting Over Mr. Right” by Chrissie Manby offers an enjoyable, light read with a relatable premise: the dreaded heartbreak and the awkward, often hilarious, path to moving on. The protagonist, Ashleigh, has her moments of charm, especially when navigating the post-breakup chaos we’ve all seen (or lived through).

That said, while the humor and pacing keep things moving, the story leans heavily on familiar tropes. Some plot twists felt more like turns you could see a mile away, and Ashleigh’s journey, though occasionally poignant, didn’t go quite as deeply into her character growth as I’d hoped.

It’s a decent pick if you’re in the mood for a quick, entertaining rom-com, but it’s not one that will leave a lasting impression. Perfect for an afternoon escape—but probably not one I’d re-read.
