    Great holiday read, but expect it to not be what you had in mind!
  

*by A***B on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 September 2022*

A great first book, written well and with interesting characters; you wanted to know all about them as soon as you met them!Some unexpected turns and storylines, I wonder if more will be explored with these characters in future books.Look forward to reading what else Kate produces.

    A story of modern relationships
  

*by D***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 April 2023*

I really enjoyed “Not Exactly What I Had in Mind”, an audiobook that kept me company on my daily commute for a couple of days.Alfie and Hazel aren’t a couple, they’re roommates. In the spur of the moment, they’ve slept together and now they’re not really sure how they feel about one another. Adding to this complication, Hazel’s sister, Emily and her wife Daria turn up one day and let everyone know that they’re looking for a sperm donor.The story is a little predictable but there’s plenty to keep you interested with sprinkles of depth added to each character as the book plays out. The four main characters are fun and I really liked the modern relationships between them all.It’s quite a chaotic romance story, with a lot of bad decisions made along the way, but I feel like this is more a study of a group of friends in modern day life. For me there was plenty of relatable content and for the most part this group felt quite realistic, each with their own quirks and personalities. There’s also a lot of emotion intwined in these pages, touching on some really important, topical themes.I liked this book a lot but I wasn’t a fan of the epilogue, to be honest. The epilogue gives us an update on this group post-pandemic (or mid-pandemic really), which I wasn’t keen to see in a work of fiction. I don’t feel that this was all that necessary and I’d have been happier not having to hear about coronavirus at the end of a nice read.I’d probably recommend this book for people looking for an easy read about a group of people in their 20s, approaching the big 30.Overall rating: A story of modern relationships, “Not Exactly What I Had in Mind” was a really enjoyable read for me – 4 stars!

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Plot is good.
  

*by N***H on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 February 2024*

I'm able to finish the book because of the plot, it makes me keep going, to know what's going to happen. Not really focusing on the two main characters but more towards the one of the main character's sister and her wife (on how they want to get pregnant and build a family).
