Publisher's summary

Penny wise or pound foolish? A heartbroken young Brit decides to turn his love life over to the flip of a coin—in this delightfully British rom-com in the vein of Jenny Colgan, Rosie Curtis, Nick Hornby, and David Nicholls.

To coin a phrase, Josh is suffering a quarter-life crisis. He just broke up with his long-term girlfriend, lost his job, and moved back home with his parents (shudder). Welcome to rock bottom in Bristol. As Josh starts questioning all his life choices, he has a mad thought: Maybe he would just be better flipping a coin. After all, careful planning has landed him homeless, jobless, and single.

What starts as a joke soon becomes serious and Josh decides to start putting his faith in the capriciousness of currency. He doesn't have anything to lose.

But when the chance of a lifetime and the girl of his dreams are on the line, will the coin guide him to a rich love life or leave him flat broke?

How There's a Movie

This was a cute story with some pretty funny moments. I would love to see these characters come to life.

Not the best 5/10

This book was just okay. The story itself was pretty cute, but then there were random bits thrown in that were bizarre to me and made a cute story kind of gross (phone call to sex line, getting lost in a street full of sex workers in Europe.)
The narrator was fine for the main character, but he really struggled with female voices.

DNF

Maudlin. I listened to over an hour of this and we still haven't met the love interest. All the book managed to do for me was depress me thoroughly. I even skipped to the near end and Josh was STILL sad and complaining.

Does anyone have some Prozac?
