I was invested in the plot of this book right from the start, as dating shows are one of my favourite things to binge watch!
The FMC was so relatable, and I loved seeing her character develop throughout the book.
The romance was amazing and I enjoyed seeing it go from hate to love: enemies to lovers is one of my top tropes, so I knew I would love the relationship in this one.

Kathryn Freeman's Thank You, Next is a brilliant rom-com that I thoroughly enjoyed, it was so much fun!! Molly and Ben's banter just lit up the pages and made me smile. Their interactions are just everything, absolutely charming and witty. With their journeys of self-discovery—being so well-developed and relatable!

The plot, with its reality TV elements, is just so engaging, especially as I’m a fan of reality TV like MAFS and Love Island, so. It kept me glued to the pages, wanting more.
I do wish more was done with the audience participation concept. It's so intriguing, though I wish it was used a bit more, and maybe a chapter or 2 of things being stirred up would have been more fun.

Even though I started to frustrated by our main characters just a smidge, I couldn't help but root for Molly to gain more confidence and see right through Duncan. IT WAS SOOO OBVIOUS! It would have been a riot to see her turn the tables on him! Overall, Thank You, Next is a flirty and fun read that will leave you feeling all warm and fuzzy. If you love romantic comedies with a good mix of humor and heart, this one is definitely for you! 3.5⭐️

I thought this was very good and I will have to add this to the shop shelves. Thank you for the chance for us to review.

Thank You, Next is the latest riotous romp from award-winning romantic comedy queen Kathryn Freeman.

Nobody knows more about being rejected than Molly Harris. From her parents to her ex-boyfriends, the people in Molly’s life seem to have no qualms about dumping her. Her latest bout of rejection involves her gym-fanatic boyfriend Duncan who has just dumped her to go on a reality TV show called The One which sets up singletons on dates for four weeks before meeting again at the altar. Molly is not about to give up on her man, so she decides that if she can’t beat them, she might as well join them – and follows Duncan onto the show!

Duncan had been the one who had put the broken pieces of her shattered heart together the last time she had been dumped and Molly is convinced that he is truly ‘The One’ for her. By following him on to the show, Molly hopes that Duncan will realise that she’s the only woman who can make him happy and she can get the happily ever after of her dreams. Only, Molly hadn’t counted on the fact that the man who had broken her heart before Duncan would also be a contestant on the show: Ben Knight, who was as far removed from her knight in shining armour as it was possible to get…or was he?

In a month’s time, who is Molly going to meet at the altar: Duncan, the first man who made her feel loved? Or Ben, the only man who has ever made her feel?

Kathryn Freeman is on superb form with Thank You, Next. Side-splittingly hilarious, wonderfully emotional and so deliciously readable, I was still turning the pages in the early hours of the morning, Thank You Next, is a first-rate romantic comedy about love lost and found, second chances and fighting for your own happiness that sizzles and sparkles with wicked wit, red-hot banter and electric chemistry between the characters.

A top-notch romantic comedy from one of the genre’s most talented writers, Thank You, Next is classic Kathryn Freeman – and I am already counting down the days until her next book!

Reality tv show like married at first sight in a book? Yes please! Unfortunately it felt really flat for me... The story was really boring and silly. I couldn't relate to the characters at all. Dnf at 45%.

Thank you netgalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Thank You, Next by Kathryn Freeman is a delightful romantic comedy that explores themes of love, resilience, and self-discovery.

TLDR: Sweet and empowering romance with a wild cast of characters!

I LOVED this book!!! Freeman does a masterful job at developing her characters - and it really makes the book shine. Molly is an extremely likeable and relatable protagonist (though there were times I wanted to grab her by the shoulders and shake sense into her). The way she draws the reader into the conflict between Duncan and Ben is fantastic. Highly recommend!

This book was very slow to start. That being said I had a very hard time staying interested. I feel like this book could have went more in depth with the characters.

I love Kathryn Freeman so I was excited to read her new book. First of all the cover was so cute. The book was a fun read. I loved the competition reality show aspect and loved the chemistry with Molly and the 'competitors' It was a solid read to the end. I will definitely recommend to my friends.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.

I loved the concept of the book. However, I felt that the book dragged along for me. I was bored and almost gave up until the 50% mark. The characters were unlovable and I found myself hard to connect with them.

I felt the story was repetitive. The same things kept happening and I felt that the writing was just repeating.

Overall, it was okay but I would not recommend or reread.

I'm a big Fan of Kathryn Freemans writing and this book doesn't disappoint, it was everything I hoped it would be!

[Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for this ARC. This is my honest opinion but just another opinion. You should read this book and judge it by yourself]

I’ve read all of Kathryn Freeeman books, it’s an autobuy for me. Her stories are light, funny and heartwarming, perfect for forgetting the world. But this one, although is all of the above, has been a little weak to me. The plot is catching and so are the MC but the development of their story has been too slow paced and sometimes a little irregular. I’ve been excited and bored at the same time!
Overall it’s an easy and charming book but not one of the best of Kathy Freeman.

This unfortunately was just not for me at the time when I decided to read this.

The writing was good, but I am suffering from intense mood reading and could not get into this. I would be open to trying again as the author was descriptive and a good writer.

I did not post on Goodreads or Amazon as I don't believe it is fair to judge this book until I am fully in the mood for it.

Cute romance with believable reality tv feel--it was much like my favorite shows! Fun and quirky, which made it easy to be along for the ride.

Molly is the Queen of rejection but she wants to turn her luck around and find love finally. She decides to go on a reality show to find "The One" but the competition has a twist.

Erm a book based off reality TV shows like married at first sight.
Yes please.
And this cover is just so cute and adorable.

The premise of this book sounds amazing.
Join reality TV show. And accidentally meet up with two of your exes. The one who left you broken and the one who fixed you (yet left you to appear on this show)

However this book was just not enjoyable, the storyline was repetitive, and annoying. She has abandonment issues. Ex number 1 has communication issues. Ex number 2 is a general Douche canoe.

These things just go round and round in circles. Without ever getting resolved.

The idea was nice, the execution was sadly not the best. I really didn't like any of the characters and the pacing felt extremely off...

LOVED LOVED LOVED!

I loved the characters. I loved the plot of being a romance reality show. I loved the plot twists. It wasn’t too long, it didn’t drag out, the downfall wasn’t overdone. Highly recommend!

i loved the idea so much, that’s basically why i gave this book 3 stars.

i am a huge fan of reality show and i never knew i needed this storyline in books. the way this book had, gossips, second chances, love, hate, feelings.

i do think the book was okay, don’t get me wrong. but good book its not only plot but characters, their interactions and development, hooks, writing and world building.

i hated characters. some of them were bad, and the author made it very clear. like i actually hated them, what do you mean he was hers, she know him for 20hours. omg. on the other side, main characters… i didn’t like male characters. both of them. one was ready to get married to anyone and other had trauma, that wasn’t really that deep he wanted to have a trauma, and least it looked like it.

Typical rom com, boy meets girl. Wasn't the best but its at least a 2/5. Dwfinatly 16+, the splash was abit meh at points but ok over all
