In this charming and exciting women's fiction novel, Giovanna Fletcher explores the complicated relationship between three friends--Maddy, her fiancé Rob, and their best friend Ben.

Maddy, dressed in white, stands at the back of the church. At the end of the aisle is Rob--the man she's about to marry. Next to Rob is Ben--best man and the best friend anyone could ever have. And that's the problem. Because if it wasn't Rob waiting for her at the altar, there's a strong chance it would be Ben. Loyal and sensitive, Ben has always kept his feelings to himself, but if he told Maddy she was making a mistake, would she listen? And would he be right?

Best friends since childhood, Maddy, Ben, and Rob thought their bond was unbreakable. But love changes everything. Maddy has a choice to make, but will she choose wisely? Her heart, and the hearts of the two best men she knows, depend on it... Romantic, suspenseful, and a whole lot of fun, You're the One That I Want is a great read about friendship, love, and the decisions that we make.

Team Ben! (SPOILER alert - skip if you haven't read yet!)

Reviewed in Australia on 26 May 2014

Verified Purchase

Although I did enjoy Billy & Me, I found You're the One That I Want so much more grown up and compelling (I finished it within 24 hours!). I loved how detailed Maddy, Ben and Robert's friendship was and the fact that you got to understand the events from the points of view of both Maddy and Ben, with Robert's wedding speech carefully integrated between the chapters. Robert was definitely a charmer, but I just wanted to cuddle Ben throughout the entirety of the book and honestly felt that he and Maddy should have ended up together at the end. That saying, I thought that the way the situation of the love triangle was settled at the end was brilliant and found myself getting very emotional at Ben and Maddy's encounter at her wedding. Overall, this book is a brilliant read, particularly for anyone who is a sucker for romance novels! Thoroughly enjoyed it and hoping that Giovanna Fletcher is planning on writing a third.

Couldn't put it down!

I came across Giovanna's 1st book by accident while travelling around the UK, I asked for a light hearted book to read. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed her first book, and wasn't disappointed by this one! Bought this on my kindle straight after finishing Billy & Me, this one took me a couple of days to read (thank God for long bus rides!) Hoping her 3rd isn't far off...

Pleasant surprise!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 July 2017

I was pleasantly surprised with this book! Before purchasing I'd read dozens of mixed reviews, but eventually decided to buy it as I thought the premise sounded good.. I'm so glad that my initial opinion hasn't changed!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and would definitely read it again!

**** SPOILERS BELOW ****

The reason I've given this 4 instead of 5 stars is because of 2 reasons..

First is .. the copy I've got (which I purchased Brand New directly from Amazon), had a lot printing/spelling errors in. When reading, my mind would skip & automatically correct as I read, not disturbing my flow, but it was something that couldn't be ignored. My reading experience of the story wasn't disrupted though.

Second is .. At a few points in the book, Maddys constantly overthinking & secondguessing the same thing over and over. And even though I completely understand the reasoning behind this, I feel like that a little too much focus was on this. It did get irritating after a couple of times, with the amount of focus it had got (considering there were other as important {if not, MORE important} things going on).

However, having said that, I would definitely read this book again! Highly recommended!!

You're The One that I want

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 May 2014

Firstly thank you to Katie at Penguin and Giovanna for sending me a copy of You're The One that I Want to review and for asking me to be part of the blog tour. You can see the blog tour with exclusive content by visiting the blog.

This is Giovanna's second novel, after her debut Billy and Me was widely received by readers in the ChickLit world.

You're The One that I Want is all about Maddy and her two best friends, Robert and Ben. We first meet Maddy on the day of her wedding to Robert and we are given an insight then as to the relationship the trio have and what the story might hold for them.

Immediately after that first scene we are seamlessly transported back in time to hear from both Maddy and Ben right from the first time they met at 6 years old. The rest of the story is told chronologically from their first meeting right up until we re-join them at the altar.

I enjoyed the dual POV as this is one thing I really like in a story, particularly when the second narrative is from the guy in the story! I think it was important to have the narrative from more than just Maddy in any case to build up and portray the connection she feels to both of her best friends. There were a few moments during these past scenes where there may be some confusion around whether the narrative is being told first hand or being remembered by the character but I don't think it was significant enough to detract from the story overall.

Having been taken on a journey throughout the character’s lives, as a reader, you feel like you know them quite well with the exception of Robert as you only really see him through either Ben or Maddy's narrative. There are some passages in the book were the narrator is unidentified but as the story progresses you become aware of who it might be and the significance of these short sections to the plot.

Going into the story I thought I knew what the ending was going to be but in reality after finishing the story it turned out I was wrong in my prediction. The storyline is structured well to allow the plot to develop at a steady pace throughout. This book will be perfect for ChickLit fans who enjoy a dual POV and who also enjoy a bit of suspense throughout.

A lovely book, well written

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 June 2014

Verified Purchase

I pre-ordered this book a while before it was released having enjoyed Giovanna Fletcher's first book "Billie & Me". I follow Gi on twitter and i love how she interacts with her readers and you really see her conceive, grow and "give birth to" her books (at the same time as growing a human inside her!)

I thought the book would be a light holiday read but actually it was very thought provoking and to echo the thoughts of another reviewer, you feel like you are part of their gang. Gi writes the characters when they are younger very well and it brought back warm childhood memories for me reading it. It took me a while to realise that bits of Robert's wedding speech were in between certain chapters but once i did, they were an enjoyable addition.

I won't spoil any of it for anyone but it did keep me on the edge of my seat - there were so many possible twists but in the end i am glad that Gi "chose her love story and stuck to it". I had seen some retweets on twitter of her followers saying they were either team Rob or Team Ben and i have to say i flitted between the two, even being team Maddy at one point. In the end, i decided i was team tripod! :-) I loved the few racy bits - not too 50 shades and not omitted either. perfect. I also liked the added bits about the onesies and i think Gi reflected a bit of her and Tom's friendship/relationship in her writing. Like most people, i cried - but not at the end like i expected!

I can't wait for the next book. Fully recommended.

I enjoyed this - for the most part

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 December 2014

Verified Purchase

This was my first time reading a book by this author.

Being a fan of "easy reading" when my brain needs a break, I enjoyed this - for the most part. The interchanging of story-telling all throughout, for the most part, was well done although at times I found myself thinking "he's already told us his viewpoint, and perhaps without meaning to, it's pretty obvious what her viewpoint is on this situation through her eyes" - after all, many characters in books are nothing if not predicatable.

I did find it intriguing that we had three main characters, but seemingly only two stories being told. The "tripod" - two boys and one girl who grow up from age nine as best friends and remain that way through teen years, college, and later life. However of course the question rises - who will end up with whom, and why?

The ending - for me - a little poor, a little obvious, no surprise, which I do enjoy at the end of these kind of tales, and I was actually expecting a twist turn, which for me, did not come. However that said, this was a nice book to sit down and relax with. Would recommend for anyone looking for light reading.

Started off so well but fizzled out :(

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 August 2014

Verified Purchase

A nice easy read for my holidays. It started off really well and I was intrigued as to where the story was going. I loved the relationship between Maddy, Robert & Ben and it had been well thought out. I particularly liked the way it was written mainly by two of the characters (Maddy & Ben) from their points of view and snippets of Robs Groom's speech dotted in here and there but I felt it had a weak ending. About two thirds of the way through it just got a bit "Samey" and I kind of wanted to shake them up a bit.... it had got quite gripping in parts and started off in that first paragraph so well but then seemed to just fizzle out to a happy ending that was too normal!!!! It's a great holiday book I just like them a bit more gripping.
