Honestly, this book wasn't for me. It was really hard for me to read and I kept putting it down every few pages. However, I think if I read it again at a different time, I might enjoy it more.

I was able to read this book after it was changed to a MOBI file. A review will be coming sometime this month. I have been on a blog hiatus due to life stuff but will be getting back to reviews soon. Thank you Netgalley and publishers for giving me the chance to read this book!

3.5 stars

Such a fun refreshing read!! I haven't read a rom-com in ages and this one seemed to come just when I needed it. It was cheesy and clique and totally annoying at times. But, it was funny and all that was enough to make all the other stuff ok. I'm not always a fan of slow burn romance but the author's humor makes all the slow parts (for me, at least) fly by!!

Enjoyable, relatable and funny. I thought was a great read for a lazy Sunday afternoon when you just want an escape.

This is a brilliant easy read - the age old classic of never wanting to see what is right in front of you, and it felt very modern and perfectly written for the 21st century twenty-somethings, battling the waters of online dating and expectations of friends and partners with a demanding job. I really warmed to Fran and Ollie, Fran in particular was very well written and I think any woman could perfectly relate to the trials and tribulations that she goes through! The book does have more depth to it than I was first expecting, which is definitely a positive and Fran and Ollie became two characters that I was really rooting for. A definite must read for hot summer nights.

I loved this modern take of when Harry Met Sally & appreciated the friends to lovers trope that it explores (which is one of my favorites!) I have to say, I'm glad that I missed on modern dating (& this book helps make it very obvious hahaha) Fran & Ollie's story was cute & very timely.

I've been on a big romcom kick, so I think that helped me appreciate this one even more!

I received an Arc from the Author and Netgalley for my opinion.

This was a cute snack of a romcom but nothing too original. I think I had a problem with the love story arc in that I didn’t really think they should get together - too many things didn’t gel for me.

This was a cute romance. I enjoyed both characters and loved seeing their relationship grow throughout the book.

I loved how unique the setting was. I had never heard of the job the main characters applied for and it was fun to experience the ups and downs that occurred within the workplace.

One issue I had while reading was the writing style. It is very obvious that the writer is British. The writing had a lot of English slang/references. It confused me in multiple parts. I didn't know what the characters were talking about. Or who was talking to whom.

Other than that, it was a lot of fun.

A highly entertaining, light-hearted rom-com that leaves you smiling and feeling good. A very fun read.

Swipe Right is a friends-to-lovers romance, and it takes quite a while for our leads to realize they belong together. Fran, the female lead, is just starting her new dream job, with amazing coworkers and a fun office environment. Fran is also totally the wrong guy!

Once we kicks him to the curb, she uses a dating app and blogs about it. All the while, her coworker, Ollie, is there to support her and cheer her on along the way.

This is your typical rom-com, and while it is somewhat predictable, it is so fun and entertaining that you simply enjoy the journey. There is lot of heart, humor and lightness and fun.

<i> Shall we pretend, Fran, just for a few moments, that we don’t belong to anyone else?</i>

Story 🌟🌟🌟🌟
<b>This book is filled with many topics, like:
- how toxic some relationships can be (and maybe you don’t realize it or maybe just too late)
- how it is to date in a modern world (surrounded by assholes, sexist or people who objectify you. People who think paying for food means getting laid after)
- how dangerous it can be to send naughty pictures of yourself to someone
- how it is when two people meet, that could be great together, but it’s not the right time for them

But even though I loved it and I enjoyed it immensely I think sometimes there were parts that weren’t necessary and could’ve been cut out. </b>

Characters 🌟🌟🌟🌟
<b>Relatable</b> / <s>strong/weak
</s> <b>characters
Favorite: Fran (and Carlina, because she was such a good friends and so funny!)
Also: I was in love with the side characters, the supportive colleagues, boss, friends...</b>

Relationships 🌟🌟🌟🌟

<i> ‘A date you go on to suppress the niggling feeling that you’re secretly deeply in love with your colleague who ran off around the world with his girlfriend.’</i>

<b>Like I said this book had many different topics, that are all in their own way really important.
The book itself is written in Frans Point of view so we get to see how she grows as a person, how great or terrible some dating experience can be.
How she realizes too late that Ollie isn’t just her best friend or work husband.
He could be more.
But there is one thing holding both back: they’re in a relationship with someone.
So it’s not the right time for them.
But maybe, just maybe, the right time will come...

Also I was in love with the relationship presented here:
Those two had a good vibe, they got along perfectly even though they argued sometimes, they listened to each other, were being supportive of each other, had insiders and jokes etc etc.

To be honest while reading this book I was sometimes really mad or sad at both of them. Or at the world. Or at the book.
But I also was happy and giggly sometimes, so I guess that’s normal.
That book made me feel some things and I think when books make you do that, they are good books. </b>

Writing style 🌟🌟🌟🌟

<i> If someone can’t be bothered to invest in an interesting profile when they’re trying to make a good impression, what else won’t they be bothered with?</i>

<b>Character driven</b> / <s>plot driven</s>
<b> a bit slow but nice</b> / <s>perfect/ fast </s> <b>pacing
Like I said it was written in Frans POV so we get to see her grow as a person.
I enjoyed it immensely, but sometimes I had the feeling there were too many details.
But all in all I really had fun reading the book! Definitely recommend! </b>

Stephie Chapman explores modern romance in the digital age in her feel-good, uplifting and riotously funny romantic comedy, Swipe Right.

When Fran and Ollie first met, they didn’t exactly get off to a good start. First impressions where far from favourable with Fran finding Ollie to be vain and pretentious and the kind of man who personifies everything she dislikes in the opposite sex. Forced to work together at Viral Hive, the media agency they both work for, the two of them aren’t exactly overjoyed at the current situation. But as time goes by, they soon realize that maybe they had been hasty in writing each other off and they quickly realise that they can be friends as well as colleagues. Romance is not even a consideration for Fran and Ollie. While Fran is in a relationship with her boyfriend Lucas, Ollie is fully committed to his girlfriend, Lou. However, fate does have a funny way of turning things upside down as the two of them discover when Fran and Lucas’ relationship comes to an end and Ollie and Lou jet off on a round the world trip. One thing is for certain: life for the two of them will never be the same again.

Now single, Fran realises that she is going to use her current situation for an anonymous column about dating which she has started to write. With all the weirdos, pervert and misfits around, Fran has plenty of material to drawn on – from a tight-fisted cheapskate to a crybaby, poor Fran thinks that she has got more chance of flying than of meeting a nice, normal and well adjusted man. Just where all the good men hiding? Having heard every single platitude going, Fran starts to despair and wondering whether she will ever end up meeting Mr Right…or whether she should put all thoughts of romance on the backburner.

But is Fran simply being too negative? Is the love of her life under her nose and she is simply too distracted to realise? The time has come for Fran to stop thinking that modern technology is going to provide her with her happy ending and let fate lead the way…

Swipe Right is so much fun! A terrific romantic comedy fans of Sophie Kinsella and Lucy Vine are going to love, Swipe Right is a frank, funny and honest look at dating in the twentieth-century that will make readers laugh out, shudder in recognition and embarrassment and keep them completely and utterly riveted to the page. Fran is a lovely heroine. She is kind, funny and relatable and somebody readers will adore spending time with.

A romantic comedy fans of the genre are going to love, Stephie Chapman’s Swipe Right is a must-read that ticks all the right boxes!

Hmm not quite sure where I sit with this one. It was a very slow starter. It took untill about the half way point to actually get to Fran doing her dating app article and untill that point not a great deal had happened. By this point I had lost a bit of interest. I didn't care much for the characters. Fran was strong willed but a bit of a walk over. I did like how she finally took a stand for herself against Lucas in an epic way but Ollie just seemed like a bit of a pretty boy douche bag right untill the end. I think I would have enjoyed it more if it had been more about the dates earlier on as I enjoyed this that aspect of this story. Didn't love it but didn't hate it

This book is absolutely terrible. The whole premise of the book is meeting men on a dating app, yet the author doesn’t even get around to introducing that until about 40% through the book. By that point, everyone already sees the chemistry between Fran and Ollie yet you have to wait until nearly the last page for them to get together. It is painfully obvious that Fran and her boyfriend do not belong together and Ollie does not belong with his girlfriend Lou. He keeps calling her “his rock” but there is no evidence to support this and his girlfriend is a control freak who expects to be waited on.

Ollie quits his job, flies around the world with Lou until she cheats on him. This sends him home and we think he might finally end up with Fran. But nope. Lou calls and wants to get back together AND HE SAYS YES. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I can’t honestly explain what happens next because I barely skimmed the rest of this. It was complete none sense, terribly written and so hard to get into. I wanted to like this, but it was a disaster. Do not waste your time.

#bookreview ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 3.5 stars - This was a cute & fun read. I loved the characters and the storyline but felt like the flow of the book could have been better. Overall it was an enjoyable read!

Thank you to the publisher and @netgalley for providing a free advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

A cute story based on 'When Harry Met Sally' but now for the Tinder generation. It did take a while in the story for the 'Swipe Right' storyline to actually materialise but it was funny and relatable when it did. A good quick read though!

DNF 30%

I was not really enjoying this book so when the little cheated happened I realized that it was time to abandon this book.

A 2020 version of #WhenHarryMetSally. While Fran and Ollie meet at a job interview for a #buzzfeed -like company, they become fast friends who are secretly in love with each other but continue on with their lives - Ollie with his girlfriend and Fran with a boyfriend then single then on a dating app quest. Do they find their way to each other or stay platonic? Read the book to find out!

A highly entertaining story where fun and hilarious drama just made my absolute day. It’s witty, laugh out loud funny with quirky moments, great characters, with great drama and romance. As you can tell I loved reading Swipe Right and I think you should read this book too. 5 laughable STARS 🌟

This was a cute read, with fun main characters. I liked Fran so much more than Ollie! For whatever reason, I just did not care for him, especially in the first half of the book. He grows more on you in the second half.

I also really appreciate the time span of this book - so many romances are "love at first sight" and this book really took the time to develop the main character's relationships. 3.5 out of 4 stars, just due to the lack of likeable character in Ollie in the first half.

Thank you to the publisher for the review copy.

How cute - an updated When Harry Met Sally! I think if I would have known this before reading the entire book I might have enjoyed it a bit more. I liked the first half of the book a lot. Then the story kind of lost me when the online dating started happening. I think both main characters fell a bit flat here and the focus wasn’t about them and their chemistry anymore.

I loved this author’s previous book and I look forward to more from her.

I knew when I saw that this novel was a take on Harry Met Sally but brought right up to date, I had to read it as I loved that film!

Swipe Right is a modern love story with likeable but flawed characters.

It’s very much a book of two halves. The first half we meet Fran and Ollie who are obviously meant to be together but each have something standing in their way. Fran an obnoxious boyfriend and Ollie a standoffish girlfriend. The second half you get to see Fran’s disastrous yet hilarious dating journey.

To me, Fran was Bridget Jones type of character. She swears, she drinks, she has trouble standing up for herself but you can’t help rooting for her. Then we have Ollie, he comes across as a little arrogant and overconfident but underneath you can tell he’s a bit of a sweetheart.
I loved the way that Fran and Ollie’s relationship grows throughout the story. They start off as candidates vying for the same position, to friendship, to something much more...there’s definitely no insta love in this story!

I wish there had been a few more funny moments, specifically in the first half of the book but that’s just me being picky.

Swipe Right is a sweet and engaging story and a must if you like a more modern take on classic rom coms.
