Good story

My first book by this author and I really enjoyed it. A love triangle and the decision of who to choose. I would love to read the next book in this series.

A very impressive debut novel!

** spoiler alert **
4.5 stars

I received a free audiobook version of The Missed Kiss directly from the author. It’s extraordinarily well written and clear Lowe has come into her life as an author with a bang! (pun intended)

Disclosure: I’m not usually one for love triangles.

Throughout the story, I found myself growing fond of Luke; I’m a sucker for friends turned lovers. However, I couldn’t root for him because the first half of Lily and Luke’s relationship started while Lily was with Zack. Every time Lily and Luke were together behind Zack’s back, it was hard to listen to and I found myself wanting the scene to be over. And that is my only reason for giving this 4.5 stars.

So I guess I’m team “Please for the love break up with Zack properly so you can be with Luke and it not feel so icky”.

I will say I think the story ended perfectly. Taking the choice away from Lily was the only solution that made sense.

I’m very excited to see what Lowe comes out with next. This will definitely be an author I continue to follow!

It was pretty good!

I really liked it. It was very moving. Although I feel bad for her getting between two gentlemen. Though, I am a bit more team Luke. I still can’t wait to hear the other book. 😊

What team will you be?

If you're into love triangles, you have to read this book! The story centers around our damaged heroine, Lily, who must choose between the man who has been her best friend and the man that makes her want to move on from her past.

I'm Team Luke but . . . you'll have to read it to find out which man he is and which one Lily chooses. If you find yourself not on the winning team, the good news is . . . the story's not over yet. I'm looking forward to reading the second book and finding out where Lily really ends up!

Realistic Love story that makes you feel like you’re living it

Nicola Lowe has a way of writing that makes you feel like you’re the protagonist’s best friend and as if you’re the protagonist all at the same time. Sometimes you’ll be shouting advice while other times you’ll feel as conflicted in this love triangle. The whole book I keep switching between team Zach and team Luke. They’re both men we can relate to and dream about. The dramatic conclusion leaves you hanging. I don’t want this story to end; it can’t end this way. I’m looking forward to the sequel and continuing the love story between Lily/Zach and Lily/Luke.
