Thank You, Next by Kathryn Freeman
Rating:4/5
Release Date: 30 June 2024

Molly Harris is no stranger to abandonment. Whether it's her parents or her romantic partners, rejection seems to follow her like a shadow. Her most recent boyfriend, fitness enthusiast Duncan, decides to ditch her for a shot at finding love on the reality dating show "The One." This unconventional show pairs up singles for four weeks of dating before culminating in a wedding ceremony.

Despite Duncan being the one who previously helped mend her broken heart, Molly is determined not to let him slip away. In a bold move, she decides to join the cast of "The One," hoping to prove that they are destined for each other and secure the happily ever after she yearns for.

However, just as filming commences, a painful reminder of her past reappears: Ben Knight, the man who once broke her heart with the classic "it's not you, it's me" excuse. He's back, casting a shadow over Molly's hopes for a fairy tale ending with Duncan.

“Thank You, Next” delivers on its intriguing premise, offering a delightful blend of humour and sweetness set against the backdrop of a reality dating show. Molly's decision to join the show in hopes of rekindling things with her ex-partner, Duncan, adds an extra layer of anticipation amidst the various couples' dynamics. Fortunately, the story unfolds with characters largely showcasing their best selves, allowing readers to immerse themselves in the romance and witness our protagonists navigating past traumas that could hinder their quest for love.

While every character exudes warmth, the inclusion of steamy moments injects a welcome freshness into the narrative, preventing it from veering into predictability. Despite their respective hang-ups, Molly and Ben's undeniable chemistry underscores their inevitable connection. Duncan's inadvertent drama adds an element of unpredictability, keeping readers engaged and guessing.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone seeking a lighthearted contemporary romance with just the right amount of spice to keep things interesting.

Thank you so much to NetGalley, HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter | One More Chapter, and the author, Kathryn Freeman, for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest and fair review.

Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter for providing this book, with my honest review below.

Thank You, Next delivered on its interesting premise with a funny and cute romance taking place during a reality show. While Molly and Ben have dated before the show it ends badly and to both their surprises they’re matched up on a dating show where couples meet up at the end of an aisle after four weeks to say ‘I Do’… or not. Molly actually comes on the show to match up with her ex, Duncan, so I was looking forward to what would happen amongst all the couples. Luckily (or unluckily depending on your tastes) this story has everyone acting as mostly their best selves allowing readers to focus on the romance and our main characters working through past trauma that could pose a challenge to finding love.

Truly every character was a sweetheart but the steamy elements kept this book from becoming stale without drama. Molly and Ben have a lot of hang ups but were clearly meant to be together. I enjoyed the drama that Duncan unintentionally would bring, it kept me guessing just a little. I’d recommend this to anyone who enjoys lighthearted modern romances with a healthy dose of spice.
