Worst Wingman Ever

Abby Jimenez2024
They’re falling in love, yet they’ve never met. Maybe fate can intervene in a heartwarming “what-if” short story about new beginnings by the New York Times bestselling author of Yours Truly. Holly is dealing with the impending death of her grandmother and still reeling from a bad breakup. One bright spot: a Valentine’s Day card on Holly’s windshield—even if it wasn’t meant for her. An amusing mistake soon turns into a lovely exchange of anonymous notes, little acts of kindness, and a growing affection between two strangers. What happens when one of them has to say goodbye? Abby Jimenez’s Worst Wingman Ever is part of The Improbable Meet-Cute, irresistibly romantic stories about finding love when and where you least expect it. They can be read or listened to in one sitting. Let’s make a date of it.

Super cute and love that there’s a deeper plot and character development in such a short time.

the meet-cute almost feels like a subplot in this! the overarching story deals with grief and loss - so i went from giggling to crying every other page :’)

3.5/5 Oh wow, it was actually good. I literally cried at one point, and it was sixty pages long. It turned out to be much more than just a short romance novella and I couldn't be more happier about it. “Take responsibility for your own unhappiness. If you don’t love your life, change it.”

Time is such a precious thing. How you spend it, how you waste it. And it becomes even more valuable as the hour glass runs out, because you will never get more of it.

This one hits you right in the feels. I was dang near crying the whole way through. I don’t know how Holly had the strength to be her grandma’s hospice nurse but I get it. I wouldn’t trust anyone with my loved ones either if I knew I was capable. And let me just say that Grandma is indeed a badass. I think I fell more in love with her than I did John and he is absolutely easy to fall for given his chivalry and handyman skills. He took a 🐝 sting taking out a nest to save the old ladies. What a guy!

“Home Depot,” Jillian said.

“For?”

“To wander the aisles, looking confused.”

“Why would I—” I gave her a look. “I am not man-shopping at Home Depot.”

“She’s right, Holly. There’s lots of good men at hardware stores,” Grandma said.

This was a good place to die. It had good energy. Everything around my grandmother always did.
