Swiping Right and Other Disasters
When Kiera’s wife leaves her, she has to rebuild her life. At 41, with a new home in Kings Heath, a diverse and vibrant part of Birmingham, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery.
Encouraged by friends, she tries online dating. She soon comes up against the quirks and pitfalls of swiping right and left on potential matches, discovering as she goes that it’s best to avoid people using animal filter profile pictures. Tinder introduces her to more women than she ever expected, including one who is definitely not over her ex and another whose suggestive texts get Kiera into trouble at work.
Seymour, the owner of her favourite coffee shop, develops an ingenious escape code – if a date is going badly and Kiera orders an affogato, that means she needs rescuing. But would Seymour prefer it if Kiera ordered more than a fancy coffee next time? Could love in fact be closer to home than Kiera thinks?
And could everything be ruined by Kiera’s ex-wife turning up and sucking her back into her old life?
Swiping Right and Other Disasters is a hilarious sapphic romance full of mishaps, laughs and unexpected adventure. Perfect for fans of Clare Lydon, Casey McQuiston and Clare Ashton.

I loved this book and can honestly say, vaguely so no spoilers, I have never felt so conflicted with a plot bump. So well done!
The book was perfectly paced and I actually found the plot bump tense. I also enjoyed everything that went before and after.

Kiera is divorcing her wife of many years, Chrissie. This all started because Chrissie slowly checked out of their relationship, and joined what turned out to be a cult, seriously losing her way. Kiera was devastated. With help from her best friend Lou and Charlie from work, she jumped into online dating, which was mostly a disaster, only helped by Seymour, the friendly barista at the local coffee shop where Kiera took most of her first dates. But Kiera gained one long term friend, Clodagh, from this farce.
I really enjoyed this story, often funny, gentle and romantic by turn. It also has some small angst courtesy of Chrissie, (showing how loyal a woman Kiera is), and lots of love and fun. I read the second in the series a few weeks ago, where Chrissie finds her own new love, and the current story is nearly as good, but not quite. 4.5⭐️

Absolutely Brilliant!
Keira is rebuilding her life after her wife, Chrissie, leaves her. Having reluctantly joined a dating site, Keira finds herself navigating the world of online dating, meeting new people, and trying to work out what she really wants. Her support on this journey is Seymour, the owner of the café where Keira meets her first few dates, but Seymour has ideas of her own about Keira.
This was absolutely fantastic! I was hooked on the story from the very first moment, and it gave me some of the best laughs I have had in a long while, whilst also balancing quite an emotional time for Keira. Every moment was a little gem, and when the story took some unexpected turns, I was taken completely by surprise. I adored Keira! She was so sweet and naïve about some of the dating terms and expectations, so I was glad Seymour was there to begin with as a good friend.
When it came to Seymour, I couldn’t believe how she was trying so hard to get Keira to notice her, but without really trying, and Keira just missed it all. They were so sweet, and once Keira had picked up on the vibe and got the idea her and Seymour could have something, I was so happy for them. But as always, when things begin falling in place, it wouldn’t be a romance without a ton of drama, and that was exactly what Sally delivered for Seymour and Keira. I was on the edge of my seat, screaming at Keira not to throw everything away just because Chrissie was unexpectedly back in her life!
Every moment of this story was packed with emotion, and took me on a real adventure with Keira through her dating journey, and new relationship with Seymour. It was super exciting and a story I won’t forget in a hurry, but cannot wait to read again!

Disclaimer: I received a digital ARC in exchange for an honest review
This book follows Keira navigating the world of online dating following a traumatic divorce. Whilst at the heart of this book was a friends-to-lovers cute sapphic romance, I loved the friendships in this book, particularly between Keira and Lou, and that other darker themes were explored. The depiction of navigating the online dating scene was done well and made me chuckle throughout the book. All the characters were likeable, well-written, and felt real.
I gave this book 4 stars as I'm in my early 20s and can't personally relate to navigating dating post-divorce, which is no fault of the author. I think it was refreshing to see older main characters, as the majority of popular romance main characters tend to be in their teens to 20s. Another reason this wasn't quite 5 stars for me was a minor issue with the pacing of the book. I think the length of the book was great but this was only a minor issue so still deserves a solid rating.
Overall a great read, really enjoyed my first sapphic romance and my first Sally Brooks book!

Rediscovering Yourself…
Wonderfully written story by a new to me author! Heartbreaking at times. Laugh out loud at other times. Soul searching and self discovery a few times. Plus a side of sapphic romance to sweeten the pot!
Getting back in the dating game after being a couple for 7 years and at 41 can feel daunting. Between dating apps, ghosting, and all kinds of crazy encounters, it helps to have some support in the form of friends and a very special barista. And all the while searching what you really need, what you really want.
Told in Kiera’s pov, the author did a great job showing so many ups and downs, support and isolation, guilt and resolution with so many feels! There’s a short epilogue and then the author graces us with an extended epilogue through email, and it’s worth the read ;).

When I picked up this book, I was expecting a light romantic comedy about online dating. To me, the main story centers on Kiera’s journey toward closure, finding herself, and finding love, with the romance with Seymour not being the central focus. The online dating part was very well written, with its surprises, good or bad, and it described very well how dating works nowadays. I think this book would be really useful to anyone who has gotten a divorce or broken up recently and wants to dive into online dating. It was really fun to read and felt realistic at the same time. The secondary characters brought some fun to the book and basically shouted to Kiera what readers want to say to her all along.Brooks brings back the ex in unexpected circumstances. The drama that came out of it was kind of refreshing and felt necessary for Kiera to go through.
The book is written only from Kiera’s POV, and Seymour was almost a background character to me, even though the part she plays in Kiera’s journey is essential. Their first “real” interaction comes later in the book than I expected. I know it wasn’t the main point, but I wish it came sooner or took up more space in the book because I couldn’t really feel the chemistry or how the feelings grew between them.
Overall, I had a good time reading this book about getting back on the horse again.

As someone who’s also gay and struggles with the concept of dating I loved how much I could relate to how hard it is.
The way this was written to show how hard it is to form new relationships as someone who’s life completely got upturned was amazing
It shows just how important friendships as well as potential relationships can help you get through hard times and frankly I felt this was rather wholesome.
Just loved it.

This book didn’t quite work for me, though it wasn’t a bad read overall. I did feel for the main character and understood what the story was trying to explore, even if I sometimes found myself feeling a bit frustrated with her. For me, the book lacked a bit of depth, which made it harder to feel fully immersed or emotionally invested.
One of the strongest aspects was the very accurate portrayal of modern dating. That felt relatable and well observed, especially the emotional ups and downs that come with it. I also really appreciated the way the friendships were written. The friends came across as genuinely loving and supportive, and I thought the glimpse of depression was handled with care and realism, particularly in how the friends responded.
Seymour is a really lovely character and comes across as sweet and endearing, but I would have loved to see more of her. The same applies to Kiera. She has the potential to be a truly compelling character, but I struggled to fully connect with her. At times it felt like the story leaned more toward telling than showing, which created a bit of emotional distance for me.
Overall, this book had some good ideas and moments that I appreciated, but it didn’t fully come together in a way that left a strong impression. A solid read, just not one that completely captured me.

In some ways this book was totally predictable - as you were reading it you knew what would happen and how it would end. But then there was the sub plot involving the ex wife that I just could not predict. And how that would end. Put the 2 together and it was really quite good.
What do you do when your divorce is finalised? Jump onto the dating apps and see who is about and try and figure out how to get back into the life you wanted pre marriage even.
But it is never that straight forward. A number of different dates are arranged - some of them in the coffee shop she has taken to visiting. The owner keeps an eye out for her to make sure she's safe, and also happy.
The ex wife pops up again - in what is surely a most unusual manner, but requires attention. This drastically affects everything going forward.
It all eventually works out.
Nobody reading this post will have the faintest idea what I am writing about - but I wouldn't want to stop anyone from getting the full effect of the story when reading it.
There's an epilogue which ties up lose ends. There is no marriage, no kids, just a steady life to be built together. Excellent.
I would recommend this book to anyone. It's good.

This was a very short read and I slammed through this one in one afternoon. Even though I got my HEA, Swiping Right has some angst that was tough to get through. I don’t enjoy heavy doses of angst unless it’s offset with plenty of spice. Seymour was just great and lovely. Kiera, obviously goes through quite a journey in this one and I was completely on her side through it all, except for the big plot twist. I’m not nearly as compassionate as she was in that situation with her ex. There’s plenty of cussing in my notes, though.
Kiera was a bit naive and that was frustrating for me to read and I suppose it was part of her journey. And a good book SHOULD make me feel the character’s pain, so I shouldn’t be bitching. I can’t remember if this was billed as an age gap or not. The age gap was only 7 or 8 years and that was not an issue. It was enlightening to read about online dating, as a woman who has been with her wife almost 30 years, I know I wouldn’t be able to do it. That’s for damn sure.
If you want a short read that’s enjoyable, with a bit of angst and quite a plot twist for the 80% black hole of separation, this is a great little read. I’m not sure if I’ll look for the audio book or read it again.

Upon receiving confirmation that her divorce is now finalised, Kiera takes her best friends' advice and joins the world of online dating.
Not having dated in ten years, Kiera struggles to navigate the utter minefield that online dating appears to be.
Seymour, the woman in shining armour who just happens to be the co-owner of the café where Kiera meets her dates, offers to help. If Kiera orders an affogato, Seymour will step in and save her from her disastrous time.
Will Kiera see what is in front of her all along? What happens when Kiera's ex-wife reappears and needs her?
This is a cute story told entirely from Kiera's pov, allowing us to see the full impact of divorce and the beginnings and ends of relationships on Kiera.
Seymour is supportive and cute, plus the natural chemistry and laughter between the two main characters feels organic and adorable
Whilst it is a HEA ending, it does deal with some heavier topics when Kiera's ex-wife, Chrissie, reappears and needs saving.
The supporting cast includes best friend Lou, coworker Charlie, failed date Clodagh, and Mr Chips... the cat overlord quietly judging in the background.

I was looking for something a little less intense after the last book I read and this delivered. It’s gorgeously ‘British’ with characters that you (largely) warm to. The friendship between Kiera and her best friend Lou is lovely and her series of disastrous dates from online dating fun to read. When she finally wakes up to Seymour, the girl who’s been there through it all, it’s sweet and then rather frustrating when she almost completely messes it up by failing to explain her actions. But this is a cute romance and never fear, I don’t think it’s a spoiler to say that things work out just as you’d wish in the end…

Knowing what's good for you
Keira's life implodes after her wife joins a cult and leaves her. Keira gets talked into joining a dating app and a slew of disastrous dates begin. Luckily, Keira is reduced from a many of these dates by Seymour and the two began to build a relationship. Unfortunately, the past rears it's ugly head and Keira learns that doing the "right thing" is sometimes the wrong thing for you. This a good read with well developed characters and an engaging storyline.

The book features a steamy scene early on, which feels like a nice bonus for readers. The characters are well-developed, offering depth and complexity, while the side plots and supporting characters contribute meaningfully to the story. I appreciated how the secondary characters added richness to the narrative. However, the ending felt rushed, with everything tied up a little too neatly for my taste. While the chemistry between the two main characters was present, it wasn’t quite strong enough for me to fully root for their relationship. That said, they were enjoyable characters on their own.

December 18, 2025I was all in for Kiera and Seymour until Kiera ran out on Seymour to mindlessly drive to the other end of beyond to rescue her ex wife-thief, your basic emotional monster. Why didn't she just call the police and show them her phone and tell them the story? What about the other cult victims? I felt like a trap door opened in the plot and we fell into a hall of mirrors.
All I can say beyond that is, Seymour deserves better. And so did I.

When I say this is in my top 5 favourite romances I've ever read 😍 wow. Despite it being shorter than the books I normally read, I took my time with this one, soaked up everything I was reading 🥵 loved the different story lines and as a visual reader, this book did things to me 🤣 obssesed with this and I've already noted the date for the next release so I can find out what Chrissie gets up to!

fun read
This is a new to me author, if this book is anything to go by I’ll be reading more.
The humour and side characters really made this book. As fun as the two mains are, without the witty characters and hilarious one liners it wouldn’t have been half as good.
Definitely worth a read.

(rounded down from 3.25)
This was fine. It was a quick and easy read but the very contrived complication around the 80% mark is very silly and could be solved by having a grown-up conversation. Random drama, a truly terrible ex, and I wasn't terribly engaged in the characters or their happiness so all in all, just fine.

Enjoyable read
Very enjoyable read. The characters are interesting and likable. The joys of dating after divorce. A cult was an issue with reason for a divorce how people follow blindly. Thanks

online dating disasters
Learning the new rules of dating in this modern age must be quite daunting. Especially when life keeps coming your way. Dating was never easy before, and it still isn’t. But Kiera manages to weather life and dating very well. Such a quick, fun read.

Such a cosy heart-warming read ☕️ My familiarity with the location the story is set in helped to get close to the characters, which are great and supportive. It shows what real friendship and self-awareness looks like 🫂

more discovery than romance.
Good story of self discovery with a little surface romance thrown in. Read over the space of a few days, readable … as in good writing with no grammatical issues.

Slow burn and self growth
To say I wasn't viscerally mad at the main character for a portion of the book would be a lie. A good read and I enjoyed watching the main get control of her life. Definitely give it a go

The chemistry between the main characters wasn't great, mainly because they barely interacted with each other for the majority of the book. However, aside from this, I enjoyed the relationships between Kiera and her friends, her forays into dating, and the storyline with her ex.

too much
It had potential but it's too much extra stuff to focus on the main characters. I couldn't finish it cause when I finally thought I was getting to the main event, they switched again the focus to unnecessary drama.

Cute and short, I think the third act is where this book is at its best, but overall just a very pleasant read. The characters were fine, not particularly engaging, but they do what they need to do. Definitely a comfort read, I just wish there was more yearning.
