Swipe Right

Narrator 5 stars

This narrator was fantastic! Such a soothing voice and was able to suck me right into this story.

Story 4 stars
First time I've heard of this author but half way through this story I went over to thd kindle store and brought 'Call me, Maybe' because I was enjoying this so much.
This was fun, a bit dirty and gave you those butterfly feels.

This book is a romantic comedy which is easy to read and it is fun for the summer. Fran and Ollie are working together and become great friends. Fran starts dating online after her relationship ends. She swipes right a lot of times on the dating app on her phone, to try and find the love of her life. But is he already in her life? Ollie has a girlfriend, who he travels around the world with, but will this work out for him? The story is good and the characters are likeable. I was a bit surprised at the amount of sexual talk in the book, but if that is your thing, you will enjoy it. Overall, I enjoyed the book.

The narrator of the audiobook was very good and the netgalley app worked well for me as always. I love the netgalley audiobooks!

Many thanks to the author, publisher and Net Galley for a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review - Swipe Right by Stephie Chapman

This review has been made possible thanks to @NetGalley and Saga Egmont Audio for providing me with an Advance Reader’s Copy in exchange for an honest review.

The story follows Fran and Ollie, both interviewing for the same role at a media production company. They have chemistry from the get go, sparks fly and arguments start. While Fran is with her insufferable boyfriend Lucas, and Ollie is dating Mean Lou, they develop a friendship. While Ollie and Lou go on a world tour and Fran is recovering from a bad breakup, she starts an anonymous dating column for Hive. But when things go wrong with the guys she’s dating, who will Fran turn to for comfort and advice?

It feels very fun, I loved the premise and the enemies to friends to lovers trope going in and it feels like a Buzzfeed environment meets early 2000s rom-com situation and I’m here for it! I love the chemistry between the characters. I couldn’t put it down! Even though the audiobook ended, I still wanted to hear more about these two! I felt like the character development was really well executed. The supporting characters had lives and storylines of their own that also advance in the background.

I’d highly recommend this as an excellent romcom and on the whole really entertaining novel about social media, dating and relationships in general and how important it is to have people to confide in.

Massively funny, hugely entertaining and wholeheartedly addictive. This was such a great book and works perfectly as an audiobook.

Sassy, sexy and fun, Stephie Chapman's "Swipe Right" is a solid rom-com. I listened to the audiobook which was well narrated by Emma Carter.

I loved this audio book. The narration was great and the story was completely engaging and felt fresh and uplifting.

I enjoyed this book so much, I loved the main character Fran and watching her journey throughout the book makes you want to laugh with her, cry with her, sympathise with her but sometimes also get frustrated with her! This book gives you all the feels, the author takes you on a hell of a journey and does it so well. I’ll definitely be hunting for more of the authors work.

Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for letting me read an arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Swipe Right is a charming story which wasn’t too taxing to listen to and provided great escapism and relaxation between my night shifts. I liked the setting, with Viral Hive and Tinder being featured, as it felt modern and although a little young for my personal experience, it was nice to have that perspective. I think the storyline is rather predictable but that isn’t to take away from it at all - it’s all about choosing the right book at the right time and this one is a go to for something fun and cheerful.

After attempting to listen to this audio book, I have made the decision once and for all, that audio books aren't for me.
I just can't seem to concentrate enough to remember any of the characters names or anything.
That said, I have already read the actual book of this before and I really enjoyed it, so will add the review for that because it's very enjoyable.

I absolutely loved this book and not only did it have me laughing out loud in places, I actually snorted out loud too!
Fran is the sort of person that I know I could easily be friends with, and I liked Ollie from the start too so enjoyed getting to know their characters.

Fantastic book .... Would definitely recommend

Overall I enjoyed this book, although it took me a long time to come to this conclusion. I was conflicted about my feelings towards the characters and their actions but I enjoyed the plot by the end and I liked some of the character arcs.

Thank you so much Netgalley and Saga Egmont Audio for the advance listening copy!

This was such a fun book! First of all, I need to talk about the narrator. The voice was so soothing and I loved listening to her so much! I could picture all the scenes playing out and loved the way she brought out emotions in the way she spoke. High recommend listening to the audiobook!

Now coming to the story, it was such a quick read with good story!
It was all about friendships and the slow- burn romance was really good!
I loved how we got to know the side characters as well and they had their own stories going on. Would love to see a spin off for some of them.

I loved Fran and Ollie’s work environment and how everyone was practically a family. Fran’s dates were so much fun to read about!

The one thing that I didn’t like about this book and the reason a star has been deducted is cheating. I don’t care how many problems there were in the relationship or how there was a lot of chemistry with someone else, this always triggers me and I do not like to read about characters that cheat on their partners.
It might also be the reason why I would probably not recommend this book to people even though I enjoyed most of it.

Initially I wasn’t sure about the narrator and I think that did affect how quickly I got into the book. But she grew on me and from that point on I really enjoyed it. I loved the characters and got really invested in the two main leads and their relationship, and the supporting characters were also really well placed and their personalities felt real and just like the diversity that you would find in a real friendship group.
Throughout the book I experienced a mixture of emotions interspersed with some very humorous scenes and one liners.
Overall this was a very enjoyable read/listen that I would definitely recommend.
My thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read this book in return for an honest review.

Very funny and loved it from start to finish. Very relevant to the times we live in now. I listened to it whilst out on my morning walk and literally started laughing down the street. That’s when I know it’s a good read, or in this case listen!

I really enjoyed this book. and I feel like Viral Hive would be a really interesting place to work. I loved the camraderie between the team mates, and the work there seemed so interesting, too.

The romance between Fran and Ollie was wonderfully slow burning, and it gave me plenty of time to get to know them as separate people and as a couple. The little hints of frisson were so lovely to see, as well.

Some of the dates from Fran's dating column were a little out there, but they were still entertaining to read.

I loved the narrator of the audiobook, who really brought the story to life. The accents she used were fantastic.

An easy read- perfect for the summer. I listened to the audio book audio book found the narrator perfect for the.main character. She was chatty and I jumped straight into the book from the first page.

What a FANTASTIC rom com chicklit!

Stephie Chapman has produced a corker with this one!

This book has everything you can could wish for. Its has a flow that is so easy and grips you from the very beginning.
Its laugh out loud funny, cheeky, fun, sassy & even a bit naughty!🤣😉

The main characters Funny Fran & Hot cock sure Ollie are introduced to this story by competing in a group interview for a dream job in a top media company. Straight away they both made negative, competitive assumptions of each other or was that chemistry?

Surprisingly they both land the job and so begins their friendship and working relationship!.

Frans on line stalking on varied social media platforms (that we've all done!) disappointingly revealed that Ollie had a long term girlfriend 'her'.

However their working relationship has challenges but soon grew into a cute friendship.

Various projects and ideas they have are a hit and one in particular results in Fran combining a personal tinder style swipe right dating journey with an anonymous work column and oh my god.... there are some hilarious, classic horror story dates that fran experiences and shares! (Some of which left me laughing out loud and even very saucy!) all whilst Ollie is frontline witnessing and gradually growing more protective towards Fran. Bless him!

This is not a predictable plot by any means and I can't express how much I enjoyed!

I have read a previous novel by Stephie which I also enjoyed but this one is so current and portrays the real world of social media on line dating, the media world and modern friendships so well!
There are many characters in this story that are so likeable and again, real.

As I am registered blind, I love being able to continue reading and enjoying books in the audio versions and when you get a narrator as good as Emma Carter, it makes so much difference. She was amazing! Well done Emma!

From opening chapter to the final I loved it. I devoured this in 2 days and didn't want it to end!

I thoroughly recommend this book. Definitely a holiday book on the beach. (Oh if only!) 🤣🌴

Thank you to the Author Stephie, narrator, Emma and of course netgalley and Sara Egmont Audio for an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review!

I look forward to more from Stephie Chapman! 🌟

'I will be sharing my review on goodreads also - however can't work out how to add the link! Sorry'

A modern day love story which was a delight to listen to.

Of course when you start the story you know how it will end but you just don’t know about the twists and turns inbetween.

Thoroughly enjoyable.

I don’t often read romance but sometimes they are just the refreshing sort of read you need.

Thanks to Netgalley I read this one on audio.

I liked this book and the main character Fran was fun and a strong female lead.

It was predictable of course - what novel isn’t these days?

But it was breezy and a chilled read.

This was a lovely romance that I devoured in a day or two. The narrator did a good job but the story was lacking some depth or something that would make the story memorable and stand out from the many other romances out there.

This is maybe a 3.5. The overall story I enjoyed but there were things that I had to doc points for. The main one being the writing style. For a lot of this book the sentence structure is very simple and reads somewhat disjointed. Almost as though the author is listing actions rather than telling a story and for this reason I never got fully sucked into the world of the book. This case is especially true at the beginning.


*SPOILERS*
The only other part I wasn't a big fan of was the characters "justification" for cheating. I am not a fan of 'I'm allowed to cheat and I'm not in the wrong at all because my partner does this'.


There were still parts I enjoyed and the comedic between the friends in this novel in my opinion are by far the best part of the whole book

Thank you to NetGalley, Saga Egmont Audio and Stephie Chapman for an ARC in return for an honest review.

What an absolutely delightful romantic comedy. This is not typically my go-to genre but I’m so glad I was offered the chance to listen to this audio book. The characters are loveable and the plot is comical yet heartwarming. I enjoyed the fact it focused on online app dating. This was such an enjoyable read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a little predictable but I think that made me enjoy it more. Couldn’t recommend it enough. Stephie Chapman is certainly an author I’ll be keeping my eye on.
