MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED – Hayden was told he’d achieve great things, like be on the cover of TIME, win a Nobel prize… or, the accolade his daughters just awarded him: World’s Best Dad. Is it too late for him to turn things around, and more importantly, does he even want to?

My Review

This is a fun, nostalgic romance set during a 10-year high school reunion, exploring love, growth, and second chances. Told through multiple POVs, it follows six main characters navigating secrets, regrets, and surprises in one night.
• Shaun and Steph, once dubbed “Most Likely to End Up Together,” reconnect while engaged to others, sparking doubts about their past decisions.
• Bryony, “Most Likely to Become Famous,” struggles to maintain her facade as a successful actress while hosting the reunion.
• Hayden, “Most Likely to Succeed,” faces scrutiny for choosing fatherhood over ambition and questions his life choices.
• Ashleigh and Ryan, “Most Likely to Kill Each Other,” transform their legendary rivalry into an unexpected romance.

This light, character-driven novel is perfect for fans of heartfelt, UK-set rom-coms like Sex Education. It’s an enjoyable, Netflix-worthy read about revisiting the past and reevaluating dreams.
