The Flip Side

The Flip Side

Book Feature - The Flip Side by James Bailey

HBL Note: I introduce to you a hot-off-of-the-press Rom Com. By a male author. Written from a (hetero) male perspective. Intrigued? So was I. There is one publicist I work with closely when it comes to romance novels. She knows I’m kinda picky about my romance novels…and she’s even pickier. She once wrote, “anything by Nicholas Sparks is romantic, sure, but not a romance” and Nick Hornsby is “romance-adjacent.” The Flip Side by James Bailey, though? She says it is romance….sure to please all you pure romance fans. Scroll down to read more.

Book Feature - The Flip Side by James Bailey

From the publisher:

It’s an interesting premise: hero sets up a lovely, romantic proposal: private cabin on the London eye, champagne, posh hotel suite, engraved ring – and his girlfriend turns him down flat.  He subsequently loses his job (his boss being the ex’s father), his flat (shared with the ex). But he gains custody of their giant rabbit, which I’d consider a plus?  Since his life has gone to pot anyway, he makes the New Year’s resolution to decide everything, for a year, by the flip of a coin.  Now, while that sounds fun, it is the type of quirk that makes a rom-com sing.  Because how can he make forward motion on his life, on a new relationship with a lovely bookseller, if he is ceding all his personal agency to chancy toss-ups?  Like all rom-coms, this is a story of personal growth, set against a very sweet romance.  And, given we’re in a time that we just can’t travel, you may enjoy his journey through the streets of London, Amsterdam, Berlin and Paris to track down the love of his life, met of course totally by chance, woo her and win her.  Which he has to do by measure of his own character, not by the easy flip of a coin.
