The Many Mistakes of Zoey Andrews: Book 2
Not yet published
Expected 15 Dec 25Zoey Andrews has always wanted what she couldn’t have. For years, she’s loved a woman who never noticed her—now that woman’s fallen for someone she hates.
Beth Harden is a musician stuck in a rut. Delivering pizza by day and playing crowded dive bars by night, she’s starting to wonder if this is all life has to offer. After returning home from Vancouver several years ago in a cloud of shame is she finally ready to feel something - purpose, redemption, maybe even love?
When a chance encounter ignites a spark, both women are forced to confront the lives they’ve built and the loves they’ve lost. Can Beth break free from her self-doubt? And can Zoey finally open her heart to someone new—or will she sabotage herself all over again?
The Many Mistakes of Zoey Andrews is a raw, and heartfelt exploration of sapphic love, own second chances, regret, and the messy, beautiful struggle to start over.
This book follows on from the Many Mistakes of Amy Love, but can be read as a standalone romance.

About the author
R.A. Hunter
5 books22 followersHey there! I’m RA Hunter (she/her), a queer neurodiverse writer based in the UK.
I specialise in sapphic contemporary romance. As an emerging author passionate about crafting intricate narratives that explore the depths of love, life, and queer identity- whilst constantly fighting the urge to pivot everything into slutty sapphic vampires.
I am a byproduct of early 00s alt pop culture, an over active imagination, a flagrant disregard for sleep, and that weird pre-regulated internet that was both amazing and terrifying.
I always felt like a bit of a loner – turns out it’s just being female and having AuDHD. If I was alive in the 17th century I would have been burnt at the stake, and in the 1960s I would have been lobotomised. Which I think makes living now a (mild) improvement.
As a queer woman with AuDHD living in, well, the world we do. I always want my characters to reflect that in some way. Real life is messy and I want to tell stories about messy characters. I am not even sure I could write a story that didn’t have queerness at its core – so I guess there is that too!
I love having my head buried in a book, graphic novel or video game. I have the self preservation instincts of a red panda and the same reaction to things that scare me

**This is book 2 of a series, and I have ARC read both book 1 and book 2, but my memory isn't the best and it's been awhile since I read book 1. I think a reader could start with book 1 or book 2 in this series.**
TMMOZA has made me cry several times only to pick me up with the happiest of endings. It makes me so excited to see how the series is going to end with book 3!
Zoey and Beth each have my heart in different ways. Zoey is the ADHD woman who comes off much harder than she actually is -- boy do I relate to that. Her dysfunctional family and a massive ass4at of a father will be so relatable to many queer people who don't have the privilege of a supportive family. Seeing Zoey grow is a major payoff of book 2...she starts off much less sure of herself and stuck in a past she isn't ready to let go of, and by the end she's so much stronger.
Beth is the golden retriever girlfriend who gives her whole heart despite her own past and issues she is trying to heal. I loved the contrast of her family unit with Zoey's.
Laura is the character that makes this book come to life...I can't spoil that plot, but no one made me feel stronger things than I did about Laura.
Hunter has made yet another novel where the cast is messy, queer, and so relatable. A romance that gives all the feelings and makes me so excited for the next installment.

Five out of five stars—no question. Hunter isn’t just a writer; she builds worlds with her words, and with every line, we become more invested and forever in love with these characters.
First lets just say Wow! This book was everything I needed. If you’re looking for a sapphic romance that is far beyond just the average girl meets girl, this is that book.
I was completely absorbed in the continuation of the story through Zoey’s eyes. Writing a story where you connect deeply with every character—even the frustrating ones—is rare, but Hunter does it flawlessly. I tagged 18 chapters as my favorites, but one scene in particular absolutely ripped my heart out:
SPOILER ALERT
A pivotal moment between Zoey and her long-time crush, Laura, shattered me. That “I’ve been in love with you forever, and now you finally see me?” moment is heartbreakingly real. Also at this exact moment, Laura noticing Zoey’s tattoos—massive, vibrant pieces of art that had gone unseen for so long. This moment perfectly captures the painful truth that you can be right next to someone and still feel invisible… until someone else, like Beth, finally sees you.
This is just one small example of the world and the amazing experiences these characters have.
Speaking about Laura, she is a total mess in the most compelling way. You’re constantly torn between wanting to hug her and shake her as she navigates her unresolved feelings for Amy Love, who lingers on every edge of the page. Amy’s presence is a constant, looming force, reminding us we’re only halfway through this emotional journey.
And then there’s the tension between Zoey and Beth—sizzling, slow-burn perfection.
I don’t want to spoil the whole story but Zoey has gone through so many silent obstacles and Hunter’s portrayal of ADHD, social anxiety and neurodivergence is nothing short of triumphant. Reading it felt like looking into a mirror of my own internal thoughts and struggles— this book is so many things.
Bottom line to all my feelings....
This moment with Zoey feels earned, and it propels the story toward the tender wreckage we know awaits in book three. Bravo, Hunter. You see the world as it is and still write with hope and love. I can’t wait to dive into Book 3 with Laura and the magnetic chaos thats Amy Love, but I’m so grateful for the time spent with Zoey first. She has my heart.

This book starts defining that Zoey has been in love with her sister’s best friend Laura for such a long time, but Laura never has pretended to notice nor care. I sympathised with Laura in the first book in the series, The Many Mistakes of Amy Love, but I kind of hate how she treats Zoey in this book.
Zoey is the character to love and care for now and quite easy when you follow her struggles with ADHD, her parents being so transphobic against her sister Emily, the pressure to succeed with her MBA so she can step up and do what was planned for Emily before her transition and of course her pining for Laura that treats her so poorly. The other MC Beth is also struggling, almost 30 and back home with her parents after falling apart in her beloved teaching job. She tries to get by on being a DJ and a musician but also delivering pizza, but she is nowhere close to being able to afford moving to her own place again.
Both their love lives completely non-existing, Zoey yearning for Laura and had a really bad experience with Amy a few years back, Beth has not even considered dating after her crash. They meet, kiss and meet again when Beth delivers a pizza to Zoey. The electricity is sizzling hot, but they are not really prepared to date anyone for real. They must move on from their past, leave that behind, and then try to find each other. It is intriguing to follow that work and I will for sure want to read the 3rd book in the series to above all get some closure on Amy Love that just briefly appears again at the very end of the book.
The writing style in this book very different from what I am used to, the author defined it as written in third person with an omniscient narrator. I understand that is to show the neurodivergent way of thinking but at time a bit confusing to me when the POV is switching in the middle of a chapter. I think I would have preferred standard 3rd person POV and alternating chapters.
I received a free ARC from the author and leave a review voluntarily.

Wow, just wow! As someone with ADHD and RSD, it meant a lot to see myself and others represented so well in this book. It's so great to read something that basically mirrors your own life, it's like an outer body experience looking in at yourself. This story really takes a deep dive into the world of neurodiversity, which in today's world, we as a society, have only recently began to recognize and understand.
The way ADHD is explained in this book is so accurate, and it feels so rewarding to see people like us included in fiction. RA does it again!!! and, I'm 100% confident that it will help people who have ADHD better understand their struggles like it did me.
This book can be read as a standalone but I highly recommend reading The Many Mistakes of Amy Love to give you a better understanding of all of the characters that appear in this book. Also, word of advice, never judge a book by its cover, no pun intended of course. In the first book, Zoey wasn’t an easy character to like, but seeing things from her point of view in this book changed everything. The story is phenomenal.
Absolutely DO NOT skip the trigger warnings!!!
It has taken me days to write this review because I didnt know how to put my feelings into words because of my own ADHD, and because I wanted to make sure I gave this book the praise it deserves.
This was an eye opener for me and I am so grateful that we neurodivergent people have accurate representation.
Thank you RA and if I could give 10 stars I would.

The Many Mistakes of Zoey Andrews follows on from the Many Mistakes of Amy Love, but can be read as a standalone romance. If you’re hoping for more of Amy Love you’ll have to wait for book three.
Our main love interests are Zoey Andrews and Beth Harden. Zoey is a roommate and longtime friend of Laura and she’s been in love with her friend Laura forever. She’s never told Laura how she feels but it’s obvious. Laura has always been into random hookups but she’s currently hung up on Amy Love. Zoey dated Amy in the past and had her heart completely broken. Zoey tries to warn Laura about Amy with no success.
Beth has left the city to move into her parents’ basement. She has a very supportive family but she seems a little lost. She spends her time practicing with her band, DJ’ing events, and delivering pizzas. She meets Zoey after one of her band’s performances and there is immediate sexual attraction.
I loved the neurodivergent rep and the unique third person omniscient writing style. There is also trans rep as Zoey’s sister is trans. We get ADHD rep with Zoey who has been on medication in the past but is not currently on meds.
The Many Mistakes of Zoey Andrews was a bit harder for my brain to get into than The Many Mistakes of Amy Love because there were so many characters pulling my focus away from the main love interests. But I really enjoyed all the characters and couldn’t put this book down. I was super envious that Zoey got to live out her 90s porn fantasy. Haha. I can’t wait for The Many Mistakes of Laura Miller.
Thank you R.A. Hunter for the ARC!

I would give more than five stars if I could!
Okay, at first I waited for Amy to appear, and she did somehow…but very quickly the focused Zoey and the incredibly sweet Beth became the center of my attention.
R.A. Hunter's writing is brilliant in terms of perspective.
We really get to see all the emotions of each individual character conveyed beautifully!
I'm amazed at the negative feelings Laura stirred in me, and I just hope things get better in book three of the series!
She's really suffering with her Amy obsession, but that doesn't excuse the past…Well, we'll see.
I love the characters Hunter creates.
They're perfectly imperfect.
I sincerely hope the next book won't take too long, because the first sequel really tested my patience, although it was so wonderfully different than expected. Worth the wait!
But it's marvelous, hot, and messy!
Brilliant and profound.
