Take a Chance On Me
The international bestselling author of Better Off Friends returns to form with a love story that's Once meets The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight.
Evie is heartbroken and betrayed when a video of her confronting her cheating ex boyfriend goes viral, so what's a girl to do? Flee to London for the summer, of course! Evie loves everything about London - the double decker buses, afternoon tea, history around every corner. Everything that is but having to stay with the person who's hurt her most of all - her father.
Desperate for a distraction from their contentious relationship, Evie spends her days wandering the historic streets . . . where as though fate is intervening, she keeps meeting a charming and beautiful British busker named Aiden.
Evie doesn't want to open herself up again, but Aiden is funny, kind, and he never treats Evie like she's too much. He may just be worth taking a chance on . . . if Evie can keep her past from getting in the way of her future.
Internationally bestselling author Elizabeth Eulberg pens an unforgettable journey that's heartwarming, hilarious, and heavy on both romance and jetlag.

This story is what happens when two broken hearts find each other in the quiet aftermath of pain—and instead of shattering more, they start to heal. and before I knew it, I’d devoured it in one sitting. Evie’s journey pulled me in from the very first page. Her heartbreak is raw, her pain deeply felt, and her need to run away—to escape everything that went wrong—feels all too real. Fleeing to London, she finds herself not only in a new city but face-to-face with old wounds and unexpected healing.
Evie is reeling from betrayal, her heartbreak laid bare for the world to see. So she runs—to London, to distance, to silence. But what she finds isn’t just a new city; it’s a new chance. But London has a funny way of pulling people out of their shells, especially when a certain British busker named Aiden keeps crossing her path and standing in the middle of it. Aiden—a busker with his own wounds, his own past, and a heart just as careful as hers.
Their love isn’t instant. It’s slow, tentative, and deeply emotional. It grows in stolen moments, shared smiles, and soft understandings. There’s something so deep about the way they gravitate toward each other—not to fix one another, but to simply ‘be there’. To say: I see your cracks, and I still think you’re worth loving. And sees Evie for who she really is. Their connection builds slowly and sweetly, creating a romance that feels both grounded and hopeful. But the real heart of this story lies in Evie’s growth—learning to trust again, not just in love, but in herself.
This book isn’t just about falling in love—it’s about rising through it.
It’s about the beauty of being seen in your most vulnerable form, and still being held with gentleness. This book is a reminder that healing isn’t linear, and that sometimes, new beginnings come in the form of unexpected people and places.
This isn’t just a love story. It’s about reclaiming your voice after betrayal, reconnecting with the past to move forward, and finding magic in unexpected places (and people). and love that feels like breathing again after holding it in for too long.
xoxo.

February 1, 2025Inject Elizabeth Eulberg energy directly into my veins, and get me back to England.
After an astounding blow to her personal relationships back in the States, dual citizen Evie runs to spend more than the allotted summer break with her British native father. She vows not to not let anyone in and protect herself, until a handsome British busker comes into her life.
I like how Eulberg goes towards older teens now in her YA (Also see PAST PERFECT LIFE) though sometimes her forays into children's lit sometimes bleed through in how her older characters speak in moments of stress. This book doesn't shy away from heavier topics (dad with possible ED, daddy issues, both of which almost made me put the book down at some points), though Eulberg did her homework.
The storyline with her dad is never really totally resolves in my mind, but I'm also not sure what else she could have done. Overall, I liked it.
Thanks, NetGalley!

Thank you to NetGalley, Scholastic, and the author for the ebook copy for review!
I absolutely loved this! I went into this for the London setting and the cute cover and was surprised how much more I got out of it.
This book follows Evie who has fled to her father’s flat in London for the summer after a humiliating break up. Her relationship with her father is not great so she spends most of her days wondering London alone, taking in the history. She runs into a busker named Aiden a few times and they quickly strike up a friendship. We then follow her growing feelings for Aiden, the struggles of living with a father that she feels abandoned by, and a few more unlikely friendships.
My favorite part of this book by far was her friendship (and quarrels) with a few side characters and seeing her try to mend her relationship with her father. Her father has an unhealthy relationship with food and exercise that he projects onto Evie and I appreciated the author showing how this can also affect men and their relationships with their families. We see a lot online about “almond moms” but this is a discorded way of thinking that can affect anyone.
The only thing I would have hoped for was to see more of Aiden. We learn a bit about his past and I felt for him but it kind of seemed like their love story was the sub plot so I didn’t feel for their relationship as much.
Overall I thought this was a great story that unexpectedly had a lot of deep conversations and something I think would be great for both teens and adults to read.

Eulberg is back! Slightly offended that Oasis’ Wonderwall is “a gazillion years old” to the FMC but the MMC gives forehead kisses so will pretend I just never read that.

SPOILERS!!!!
big thank you to my school book fair for having this absolute MASTERPIECE before it is released on march 4, 2025!!!
aiden might just be the love of my life. aiden is sweet, kind, loving, careful and such a sweet friend/boyfriend! i loved how much he cared about his relationship with evie. he really cared, and i don’t blame him for thinking he was just a boy toy, breaking his heart at a special place to him wasn’t the best move on evie’s part.
i absolutely adored evie for caring about her dad so much. i’ve never read about someone so dedicated to helping a loved one, and eulberg did just that. it was very clear evie cared about him.
fiona was one of my favorites. i don’t blame her for getting upset over ruby, she didn’t know evie didn’t know ruby was aiden’s sister, not ex girlfriend. her getting poppy for evie to help vent about aiden was so incredibly special. evie and fiona were polar opposites, but had an amazing friendship, and i love that.
poppy is an absolute angel. i love how she moves her body, stays healthy, but provides herself with balance. she influences this on evie, which provides me with a safe sense. poppy was an EXTREME girls girl(which i am myself) and i loved that! poppy has my whole heart 🩷
elizabeth,
you have made one of my favorite books!!!
i can’t wait for everyone to read this book!

This was honestly way cuter than I was expecting!! It was 100% a YA romance, which isn’t a bad thing, it was actually kind of adorable. I loved Evie and I thought it was super relatable to see her struggle with teenage issues. I also found myself LOVING Poppy, I definitely judged her too hard at the beginning but she became one of my favorites throughout the book!! The sweet romance in this was so fun, and heartwarming and even a little healing. Aiden was such a sweetheart, I loved his playful character and how kind he was to Evie from the moment they met. I’m not gonna lie-I was expecting like a Harry Styles fanfic inspired book, but this really turned out to be a very sweet, very emotional YA romance book.

⭐️4.25 stars⭐️
You guys, I enjoyed this book WAY more than I was intending to.
At the start of this book, I went in just for a cliché read, but I came out surprised.
Let’s start off with our FMC, Evie.
Evie, oh Evie, how do I love you. She’s sarcastic, she’s funny, and she’s understandable. Usually when I read these kinds of romances, something about the FMC is annoying. But, for some reason, Evie wasn’t. I loved her character and I loved her attitude and traits. 9/10 rating for Evie!
Now, for our MMC, Aiden.
EEEEEKKKK!!! I LOVE Aiden SO MUCH! He was such a swoon-worthy character. He never got mad at Evie for no reason, and he loved her for who she was. The backstory on Aiden’s life wasn’t TOO much lore, but it also wasn’t boring. For an unpopular rom-com, our MMC was INCREDIBLE. 9.75/10 rating for Aiden!
⚠️‼️SPOILER WARNING‼️⚠️
Like I said, the lore drop for Aiden wasn’t too much, but it was still a lot.
You’re telling ME that through like, let’s say half the book, Evie is thinking that the songs Aiden sings about heartbreak are about an old girlfriend, and that white and black plaid scarf were also from that girlfriend, but in reality, the scarf belonged to his DEAD LITTLE SISTER?! Um, WHAT?!
Story time for that, Evie had gotten into a huge fight with her dad and needed someone to talk to, so she went to Aiden’s house. She met his mom (who is LOVELY, by the way) and she started to look around the house because Aiden was running errands. Now, if you couldn’t already tell, Evie didn’t know about his sister. So, when she started to look at the old pictures, and noticed how Ruby (his sister) came into the family while Aiden was seven, then as she went through the pictures, she noticed the scarf that Aiden always wears. But Aiden wasn’t wearing it. Ruby was. And not on her neck, on her head. Ruby wore the scarf on her head so her bald head wouldn’t get cold. She was bald because she had CANCER. CANCER?! Ruby died at around the age of 6-8, and Aiden was heart-broken. THATS what his heart-break songs were about. Not about an ex-girlfriend, but about his dead little sister. Aiden only never told Evie because Evie treated him so normally when they talked and didn’t talk to him with pity.☹️
Like, OH MY GOD?! He’s so sweet and thoughtful and DEFINITELY cute🥹.
Last thing, I promise, I know it’s a long review, but can we talk about the side characters for a second?! Fiona and Dev, oh how I love them, too! Fiona is a sarcastic lesbian baddie with an attitude, and Dev reminds me of Leo from the PJO universe. He’s funny, adorable, and sarcastic. He gives golden retriever vibes for real. And POPPY! Oh my God, I loved her WAY more than I expected to. I won’t go too far into details for the sake of ruining the whole book, but she’s SUCH a girls girl, and I love her! And finally, Nigel, Evie’s dad. Now, when Nigel was young, he got bullied constantly about his weight, and as he got older, it got worse. He would still get bullied even in his thirties. Some people take bullying worse than others, so he LITERALLY went on a diet and lost weight. But, Evie and her mom couldn’t keep up. That’s when Nigel left. Not left for a few hours or days, he left for good. He moved to London and left their family. Evie was so little and sad that she didn’t eat for THREE. DAYS. Thinking that if she didn’t eat, her father would come back. Nigel built a facade as he was gone. He never smiled, never showed emotion. So, when Evie would come to visit him in London, it was always a horrible experience. She would eat a bag of chips and her father would tell her that it’s unhealthy and that she should go work out. This time when she visited, it was much different. But, throughout the story, she fixed those little parts of her dad that were broken, and they’re now healing their relationship together. The character development on Nigel was incredible.

You guys, I enjoyed this book WAY more than I was intending to.
At the start of this book, I went in just for a cliché read, but I came out surprised.
Let’s start off with our FMC, Evie.
Evie, oh Evie, how do I love you. She’s sarcastic, she’s funny, and she’s understandable. Usually when I read these kinds of romances, something about the FMC is annoying. But, for some reason, Evie wasn’t. I loved her character and I loved her attitude and traits. 9/10 rating for Evie!
Now, for our MMC, Aiden.
EEEEEKKKK!!! I LOVE Aiden SO MUCH! He was such a swoon-worthy character. He never got mad at Evie for no reason, and he loved her for who she was. The backstory on Aiden’s life wasn’t TOO much lore, but it also wasn’t boring. For an unpopular rom-com, our MMC was INCREDIBLE. 9.75/10 rating for Aiden!
⚠️‼️SPOILER WARNING‼️⚠️
Like I said, the lore drop for Aiden wasn’t too much, but it was still a lot.
You’re telling ME that through like, let’s say half the book, Evie is thinking that the songs Aiden sings about heartbreak are about an old girlfriend, and that white and black plaid scarf were also from that girlfriend, but in reality, the scarf belonged to his DEAD LITTLE SISTER?! Um, WHAT?!
Story time for that, Evie had gotten into a huge fight with her dad and needed someone to talk to, so she went to Aiden’s house. She met his mom (who is LOVELY, by the way) and she started to look around the house because Aiden was running errands. Now, if you couldn’t already tell, Evie didn’t know about his sister. So, when she started to look at the old pictures, and noticed how Ruby (his sister) came into the family while Aiden was seven, then as she went through the pictures, she noticed the scarf that Aiden always wears. But Aiden wasn’t wearing it. Ruby was. And not on her neck, on her head. Ruby wore the scarf on her head so her bald head wouldn’t get cold. She was bald because she had CANCER. CANCER?! Ruby died at around the age of 6-8, and Aiden was heart-broken. THATS what his heart-break songs were about. Not about an ex-girlfriend, but about his dead little sister. Aiden only never told Evie because Evie treated him so normally when they talked and didn’t talk to him with pity.☹️
Like, OH MY GOD?! He’s so sweet and thoughtful and DEFINITELY cute🥹.
Last thing, I promise, I know it’s a long review, but can we talk about the side characters for a second?! Fiona and Dev, oh how I love them, too! Fiona is a sarcastic lesbian baddie with an attitude, and Dev reminds me of Leo from the PJO universe. He’s funny, adorable, and sarcastic. He gives golden retriever vibes for real. And POPPY! Oh my God, I loved her WAY more than I expected to. I won’t go too far into details for the sake of ruining the whole book, but she’s SUCH a girls girl, and I love her! And finally, Nigel, Evie’s dad. Now, when Nigel was young, he got bullied constantly about his weight, and as he got older, it got worse. He would still get bullied even in his thirties. Some people take bullying worse than others, so he LITERALLY went on a diet and lost weight. But, Evie and her mom couldn’t keep up. That’s when Nigel left.

This was a moving YA summer romance that has American Evie travelling to London to spend time with her father following a breakup. When she bumps into busker, Aiden on her first day there, the two strike up a friendship that leads to more. While I thought the romance in this story was really cute and fun, I especially enjoyed how well written and realistic the story about Evie's father's disordered eating was and what an impact that had on those around him. Great on audio and HIGHLY recommended!

OK solid 4 ⭐ read. I'm going to England and Ireland next summer so this book gave me ideas for spots to check out. Also, I adored Aiden and his friends, and Poppy. I did not like Evie or her dad though, Evie's negative attitude was really off putting even for a young adult character and was just too neurotic and controlling. Her dad was just a POS and weird AF for dating women in their 20's.

Elizabeth Eulberg is one of my favorite YA authors and I was excited to see she finally had another book. This was cute and compulsively readable. Evie was a little much sometimes, but she was supposed to be. I did think the author tried to pack in too many issues, though - abandonment, grief, cheating, bullying, eating disorders. I wish it was a little lighter and I found pretty much everything that happened between her and her dad pretty unrealistic. However, everything with Aiden was adorable and I did appreciate Evie’s character growth. I wish there was a little more closure at the end, but overall it was a fast, enjoyable read.

In my mind, running away to London is *always* a good idea. And that was all the context I needed to dive into this book!
We meet Evie when she hops on a plan across the pond to escape a bad breakup and a viral video of a not so great moment. As she's settling in to her Dad's flat, with whom she does not have a great relationship with, she is also intentional about making the city her own. She runs into Aiden, a busker, and they form an absolutely sweet friendship. He brings her into the friend group and everyone hits it off. It's intl a matter of time before they can ignore the chemistry between them.
I didn't initially realize this was YA, which isn't a bad thing, it was a very sweet read, perfect for the tweens and teens. I may not be the right demographic for this story but I LOVE a YA books 99% of the time, the nostalgia is real. But this one dealt with some fairly heavy issues both on Evie's side and Aiden's. As sweet as the story was (no spice), this heavy issues by the end were not resolved in the slightest, even with the target audience it felt like there was more closure that was needed to wrap up the plot. And for all the ways it played up escaping to London, I wanted to feel more immersed in the setting and as the reader, we don't really get that.
While I enjoyed the book overall, it could have added a bit more age appropriate depth that would have made it that much more of a favorite, or a slightly more nostalgic read for those of us that grew up in the MK & A era!

I’ve read and really enjoyed other books by this author (especially her Lonely Hearts Club series), and I also love books set in London. However I wasn’t expecting this to deal with such serious subjects like disordered eating and obsessive exercise. The story was cute and I liked the romance but this did not top LHC for me. I also had the ABBA song stuck in my head almost the entire time I was reading this!

I thought this was going to be a cute & fluffy London rom-com and it was way more serious than that (in a good way!). Lots of depth to the characters that I wasn’t expecting and loved that a lot of the focus was on her relationship with her dad. I wish there had been more resolution at the end - we don’t find out if she stays in London or ever talks to her mom about her feelings there.

I liked the dynamic between Evie and Aden . How it was clean . How well the author talked about eating disorders . It’s a really good book and I heard the author has written a lot of other books and I really like her style .

Really enjoyed this one. You could definitely tell they were both teenagers from the ways they spoke and behaved but it was endearing and sweet to watch the way things progressed.
I will say the ending felt quite rushed and somewhat abrupt. It could have quite easily done with another 50 pages to bring things to a satisfying conclusion. Regardless, it was good if you don't mind filling in the blanks of where the story goes after the 'things are resolved and everyone is happy reunion' at the end.

This was a good book to start. I enjoyed some of the topics that it touched on. However, I found it to be a tough read. I really struggled to get into the book. I also feel like everything progressed really fast. Overall, it wasn’t a bad book but not a favourite of mine.

This book was so well written, the author could describe the issues between fmc and her father so good without making it too heavy but also realistic and then Aidennnn
Firstly Evie
Trying to escape the mess in America, she goes to London where her father lives to start over and well London firstly, who doesn't want to go there?! I love how she kept confident with herself and sometimes cracks because that's what a human is!! She felt so realistic, I loved her so much!❤️🩹🥹
Secondly Aiden
WHEN YOU FOUND OUT FOR WHO HE WRITES AND SINGS, YOU WILL CRY!! When can I give him a hug?! He was so raw and honest in his own way. I understood at the end why he felt angry to Evie but also how they eventually get back and be the same happy couple as always because wow they are just made for each other!! 😭💗
Thirdly the plot
LONDON?! IT'S IN LONDON BASED, MY FAVORITE CITY? DREAM CITY, LET ME BE EVIE RIGHT NOW!! I love it so much!! 🫶🤭

Made a mistake by end of thinking it was a steamy romance, not a YA romance.
Not for me. Characters felt too immature/young for me to resonate. Couldn’t feel the chemistry. It’s hard reading a book where you feel significantly smarter than the characters and want them to just grow up and get over it - but they’re young adults - seventeen. And that’s not how teenagers think.

This is a really, very cute read. It is amazing for people who are looking for a zero-nonsense and cute rom-com. I love this book and I'm really forward to reading more from this author.
QUOTES
□“And is it true that you Americans don’t worship the legend that is David
Beckham?” He shakes his head at me.
“Please, my father is British, so I know all about—and I quote—proper
football.”
□ Books and carbs: was there a quicker way to any girl’s heart?
□ “Fine, ha-ha, I’m a loud, obnoxious American. But you, sir, are the one
who is choosing to spend the afternoon with me.
□ My mantra for this summer will be Keep it causal. Keep it simple.
□ Different country, same mistakes.
□ “Regret is toxic. It’d be a shame if you missed out on sharing a life with someone who truly sees you.”

Thanks NetGalley for the ARC!
This was a cute YA read about a girl who's going through a rough breakup and escapes to London to be with her dad for the summer. She meets Aiden, a lovable London boy and the two kick off an adorable connection.
This book was a little too immature for my taste but it wasn't bad. It's definitely something I would have enjoyed as a teen. It's sweet and cute; it gives you all of the cheesy romcom vibes I loved as a teen.
