What a pure delight! Thank you for the opportunity to read Nick’s next work! I have only read one other Nick Spalding book but I’m so glad I have this a go. The plot and characters just get you wanting to read more, so much so, I’ve read it in one sitting! The main characters and dynamic will feel familiar to any double act friendships who have a third member added in! But as always the feelings are captured in a manner which you feel

Jake Carlisle is living his best life, thanks to the crazily successful influencer channel he created with his best friend Sy. Reviewing whacky hobbies and adrenaline-fuelled adventures, Sy has pushed Jake into doing more exciting stuff than either ever thought possible. Then disaster strikes.
When newbie Helena joins the team, Sy quickly falls head over heels for her All of a sudden, with romance blossoming and the business dynamic shifting, Jake is horrified to find himself becoming the dreaded third wheel.
Being the odd one out was not what he signed up for. And he’ll do anything to get his best friend back even if that involves a little light sabotage, an unhealthy amount of jealousy and one very unfortunate pair of tartan Speedos.
A really enjoyable read I read in one sitting totally recommend
Thank You NetGalley and Amazon Publishing Uk
I just reviewed Third Wheel by Nick Spalding. #ThirdWheel #NetGalley

This was a fun lighthearted read about Jake who lives and works with his long time best friend Symon making videos for YouTube. Jake tends to capitulate to Symon’s decisions so when Symon feels they need to get an new female presenter on board to appeal more to both genders they recruit Helena to join them which gets complicated when Symon and Helena develop feelings for each other leaving Jake feeling very much like a third wheel both at work and home. I found the YouTube exploits far fetched but amusing and just being told from Jake’s perspective worked well. This is an easy and quick read with a simple but engaging enough storyline and many funny moments. 7/10
