Skip to the End
In this joyful romance, one wild night results in three kisses—only one successful—and leaves a perpetually single Amy searching for her perfect match so she can find a happy ending.
Amy Daniels has a pretty nice life. Her career is on the up, she loves her friends, and she's about to buy her very own flat. On a good day, Amy could be described as a catch—so why is she perpetually single?
The trouble is, Amy can see something no one else the end. As soon as she kisses someone, she knows, in intimate, vivid detail, how their relationship will finish. A screaming argument in the middle of the supermarket over milk. An explicit email sent to the wrong address. A hasty escape through a bathroom window on the second date. At the altar—runaway-bride style. There seems to be no end to the unhappy endings.
After years of trying, and failing, to change a pre-written future, Amy has given up. But then she drunkenly kisses three men at her best friend's wedding and sees three possible two painful, one perfect. The problem is, Amy can't really remember who she kissed, and worse, what ending belongs to which person—the only thing she knows for certain is that she's determined to find out...

“IF YOU KNEW HOW THE LOVE STORY FINISHED-WOULD YOU TURN THE FIRST PAGE?”
Amy has inherited a gift (curse?) from her mother. As soon as she kisses someone, she knows, in intimate, vivid detail, how their relationship will end. She can see the screaming argument in the middle of the supermarket over milk, or the explicit email sent to the wrong address, which will end it all.
It’s hard to stay positive, but Amy has a supportive group of friends and a wicked sense of humor.
And, then at her best friend Charlotte’s wedding-the unthinkable happens! She kisses someone and sees her very first HAPPILY EVER AFTER!
The only problem? She was drinking quite a bit, and kissed three men. Which of the three is her “meant to be”?
She can’t quite remember…
Although, I lack Amy’s “gift”- I had a feeling from the start who she would end up with-but I enjoyed Amy’s quest to figure out which man was her “one and only”!
YES, I ADORED THIS PREMISE! ❤️
Molly James is the pseudonym of an author who has written twelve escapist novels, including multiple bestsellers who is excited to take her writing in a new direction, bringing magical realism to her heart based humor. I don’t know if I have read any of those books…but I do know that I will be reading more published under the name Molly James!
A buddy read with DeAnn. Was she also enamored by this one? Be sure to watch for her review!

I enjoyed this book so much. I loved that it wasn't just a romance and that Amy is dealing with her mom's dementia. I have dealt with dementia and Alzheimer's in my own family and there is a quote from the book that particularly touched my heart..."It's hard when you miss someone when they stood right in front of you?"
The premise of this one was such fun, in a romantic way. Imagine being able to see your future with someone when you kiss them! This was such a fast paced, easy read and it was a joy to get lost in the pages. I loved being on Amy's journey to find "The One", I was excited for Amy to find her man. And even though the story was a touch magical the characters felt authentic, that was no easy feat by the author. Amy and her pals were characters I loved, people I genuinely liked and would be friends with. I loved how this group was like family and how Amy made her mom and her friends a priority. There is also a very diverse cast of characters and I appreciated that.
One of the characters is into plants, flowers and nature in general. I loved the descriptions of the flora and fauna and the walks in the parks. I felt like I was there with the sunshine on my shoulders and the smells in my nose. It made me feel happy.
Even though I figured out who "The One" was before the big reveal it didn't take away any of my enjoyment of the journey to get there, it was just so much fun, so I just sat back and enjoyed the ride. I loved this group so much and I was cheering them on in their different endeavours. It was so engaging I read it in a couple of sittings. Highly recommend!

Skip to the End by Molly James is a Chick Lit and Romance Fiction Story!
Amy Daniels has a special gift. Her mom has it, too. When she kisses someone, she has visions or premonitions, if you will, showing how their relationship ends.
Amy's been looking for her 'Happily Ever After' for a long time. She hasn't found him yet but she knows he's out there. Somewhere. It's just a matter of time or...not.
At her best friend Charlotte's wedding, Amy has mostly given up on her 'HEA' search when she decides to go all in and 'drunk-kisses' three different men during the reception. One of them IS her 'Perfect Ending'.
The next morning, Amy realizes she was far too drunk to remember who she kissed or which of the three is her 'Forever After'.
Now Amy's on a desperate mission to discover the identity of her long awaited 'Perfect Ending'...
Despite deciding I was steering clear of Chick Lit for an extended period of time, here I am once again writing a review for the one I just finished.
Will I never learn?
The premise of Skip to the End really spoke to me, however, I failed to read the synopsis completely, and instead I leaped for the request button. I missed the words, "...she drunkenly kisses three men..." and combining that with copious amounts of alcohol mixed with immature thirty-year-old characters, it becomes a deal breaker for me.
Why do I do this to myself?
The Magical Realism aspect of this story is implied so it never shows its face. I always expect something magical with those two words but it doesn't happen here. Another disappointment.
Then, Amy's elimination process takes its precious time and I know this sounds corny, but I really just wanted to "Skip to the End" at that point. (Sorry, I couldn't help myself.)
I did enjoy how Skip to the End ended and I also thought the topic of Alzheimer's was handled respectfully and enjoyed it's inclusion. Well done!
I'm happy to see many positive reviews and high ratings for Skip to the End but honestly, I was looking for something a little different than what this story delivered. Clearly, and obviously, I'm not the right audience for this book.
2.5⭐rounded up for the inclusion of the Alzheimer's topic!

ME: “Magical” stories just aren’t really my thing.
ALSO ME: Want to watch this for the 25,000th time????
(In case you aren’t familiar, that’s a clip from When In Rome – a story about an unlucky in love woman who steals coins from the Fountain of Love in Rome and then finds herself pursued by multiple suitors which makes her doubt the authenticity of a love connection she thought she had made. It is delightful and I have a crush on both Josh Duhamel and Kristen Bell.)
This book isn’t necessarily like that one at all, but it did provide the same vibe. Amy has inherited the family curse that has befallen every female for as many generations back as anyone can remember. When she shares a first kiss she foresees how the entire relationship will pan out . . . . and it’s never been good. While attending the wedding of one of her best friends (there’s the only When In Rome connection – a wedding), she imbibes a bit too much and does some smooching with three different fellas – one who is for sure her happily ever after. The only problem? The next day she has no idea of who it was she kissed.
Okay, so this was nearly perfect for me. Although it’s obvious who Mr. Right is straight away, the getting there was so satisfying and I live for a quality friend group like what can be found in Bridget Jones or Four Weddings and a Funeral.
Highly recommended to hope(ful)less romantics.

LOVED IT. A 5 for me!
Skip to the End is about Amy Daniels. She is doing well in life. She has great friends but she doesn't do well in the love department.
Amy has a gift. Women in her family all do. When Amy kisses a man, she knows exactly how the relationship will end. Is the guy a cheater? is the guy dangerous? Will Amy get hurt physically or emotionally? So you can see, how this would make her fearful of failure.
Then, during her friend Charlotte's wedding, she drinks a little too much and she kisses three men. The next day, she knows one of the three was her happy ending. The problem is that she can't recall who was the right guy for her and who wasn't.
Amy will embark on a quest to find the right guy with the few clues she has.
I knew her HEA from the very beginning but I was not going to tell Amy. She needed to go through the motions of realizing who was the right guy for her.
I thought this was a great premise with wonderful characters and situations.
Cliffhanger: No
5/5 Fangs

Skip to the End by Molly James
Contemporary romance. Magical realism. London, England location and vibe.
Amy, Gareth, Jay, May, and Charlotte have been friends since their school days.
Amy finds out she has a special power that is passed down from mother to daughter. Or maybe it’s a curse. When she first kisses a man, if she gets a premonition, or vision, it will tell her how her relationship or romance will end with that person. In the opening scene, she’s flirting with someone she may be interested in, kisses him, and finds out he has a pregnant girlfriend. She’s out of there.
Charlotte has found her one true love and is getting married to Marcus. The friends celebrate as you do at weddings, and Amy has more than a few drinks. She’s having a blast dancing and flirting her way around the dance floor. When she wakes up the next morning, Amy has three visions rapidly flash in her mind. She sees two relationship fails, and surprisingly a happily-ever-after. The problem is that she doesn’t know who she kissed! The friends try to piece together the night, and think they’ve figured out two of the men so while waiting for photos, Amy begins her search to find her future.
Often amusing, Amy dates and the friends try to help while living their lives. It’s a “Friends” (tv show) feeling story where you learn pieces of all their lives and how they intersect with Amy while she’s on a mission to find love.
Lots of 80’s and 90’s tv shows and characters mentioned as well as local language and idioms of the London area.
I really enjoyed the friendships and support the group gave each other. The journey was a lot of everyday life including some sadness from Amy’s mother with dementia. Amy does find her third kiss which had me crying in happiness.

Initial Thoughts
This was good! I thought that the premise was really fun. Amy, along with the other women in her family, has a special gift. Whenever Amy kisses someone she can see how the relationship will work out. At her friends wedding, she knows that she kissed the man for her but she can't remember the three men she kissed. It is obvious to the reader who will be Amy's happily ever after pretty early in the book but it was fun watching Amy figure things out. I listened to the audiobook and thought that the narrator did a great job with the story.

I received this via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review.
I needed a great romance and this was it! I loved the idea of a woman inheriting the ability to know how her romances will end with the first kiss. All the characters were developed well and I squealed at the HEA.
This was a great romance novel. I know some readers may complain that they can see the ending waving at them at a certain point, but I take comfort in the fact that there were no big crazy things happening. I did love the fact that the main character, Amy, at one point is seeing two guys who you can see potential with though.
"Skip to the End" follows Amy Daniels who has a unique gift. If she kisses a guy, she can see how they will end. And that has led to a lot of dumpster fire relationships. But it has also saved her actual physical violence. She's fed up with her gift, but at one of her best friend's wedding, she gets cajoled into kissing some random guys to just have fun and let her hair down. Cue the morning after and she drank so much she can't remember who she kissed but knows it was at least 3 men. The book follows her trying to track down and date the man in question. Because she realizes one of them she kissed, is the one.
I loved Amy and the other characters in this one. James perfectly captures that age when your friend's get married and move on from the friend circle and how jarring and sad that is for all concerned. Amy though seems more mature than at least one of the best friend's in the 5 person group.
The writing was funny in places. I am going to ignore the obvious typos (ARC copy people) and just say that the flow was right on. We move back and forth between Amy, some really sad stuff in her life, and the guys she is dating. Everything somehow works.
And the ending I thought was great. I would have loved loved loved a love scene though. That's my only quibble.

The synopsis and cover drew me in instantly with this one, it just looks and sounds amazing. So is it? Why yes, yes it is. I read it in 4 hours cause I couldn’t put it down. This is the perfect rom-com filled with humour, likeable characters, and an awesome plot. This is the perfect summer read for round the pool or on the beach. If you like chick-lit or romcoms you definitely need to read this one ASAP.
Thank you to Quercus for sending me a copy of this book.

Wenn Amy jemanden zum ersten Mal küsst, kann sie kurz in die Zukunft sehen und weiß, wie diese romantische Beziehung enden wird. Bisher waren das immer nur mehr oder weniger dramatische Trennungen und inzwischen hat sie die Hoffnung aufgegeben, je den Richtigen zu finden. Aber als sie nach der Hochzeit einer Freundin aufwacht, kann sie sich an eine wunderbare Zukunftsvision erinnern - doch leider weiß sie nach all dem Alkohol nicht mehr, wer ihr Traummann war. Sie weiß nur, dass sie drei verschiedene Männer geküsst haben soll.
Amy hat mit ihrer Fähigkeit schon einen anderen Blick auf die Liebe; viele Beziehungen enden schon nach dem ersten Kuss, trotzdem kann sie sich nicht vor Enttäuschungen bewahren. Manchmal entscheidet sie sich auch für die gemeinsame Zeit, auch wenn sie weiß, dass es nicht für immer sein wird. Aber ein Kuss ist immer eine bedeutsame Sache für sie, daher kann sie es auch nicht fassen, als sie plötzlich drei Männer an einem Abend geküsst haben soll.
Ich fand Amy schon sympathisch und konnte verstehen, wie diese Fähigkeit ihr Leben beeinflusst und auch die meisten Entscheidungen, die sie im Namen der Liebe trifft, konnte ich nachvollziehen. Auch ihre Beziehung zu ihrer dementen Mutter, die für Amy immer Vorrang hat, konnte mich berühren. Aber ich fand Amy auch etwas anstrengend, weil sie sich auch ohne Visionen ständig eine romantische Zukunft mit dem aktuellen Kandidaten vorstellt und dabei etwas übertreibt - dabei trifft sie sich ja schon mit mehr als nur einem Mann. Ich fand sie da etwas zu sprunghaft, obwohl sie gleichzeitig mit ganzem Herzen bei der Sache ist. Außerdem ist mir noch aufgefallen, wie oft ihr Aussehen oder auch ihre Hygiene ein Thema für sie ist, sie fühlt sich oft unwohl in ihrer Haut, aber es ist auch eher etwas, das für sie ein Problem ist und das die meisten Menschen bei ihr nie ansprechen. Während es an manchen Stellen Sinn ergibt, habe ich mich schon gefragt, woher diese Unsicherheit bei ihr kam.
Meiner Meinung nach war der Favorit schon von Anfang an erkennbar, auch wenn man auch den anderen Kandidaten eine Chance gibt. Trotz der verschiedenen Kandidaten ist es daher schon ein bisschen vorhersehbar, was bei einer Geschichte mit Zukunftsvisionen vielleicht auch zu erwarten ist. Ich hätte aber bei der Inhaltsbeschreibung aber nicht unbedingt erwartet, dass ihre engsten Freunde alle von ihrer besonderen Fähigkeit wissen und sie alle gemeinsam daran arbeiten, den Richtigen zu finden. Die verschiedenen Freundschaften fand ich aber auch süß, auch wenn sie schon etwas viel Raum eingenommen haben.
Fazit
Insgesamt fand ich das Buch schon unterhaltsam und mochte auch den anderen Blick auf die Bedeutung der Liebe.

This had a very cool premise. Amy Daniels, along with all the women in her family, are cursed with ability to see the future of a relationship after a first kiss. After years of unsuccessful attempts to find her happy ending, Amy drunkenly kisses three men in one night and finally finds him—the one! The only problem? She can't remember his face or name.
I really liked the discussions around fate. Yes, Amy technically can save herself from a terrible relationship, but what does she miss in the process by knowing where her love story ends. It's an interesting thought! On top of that, I thought it was sweet to include her mother's unexpected experience with the curse. It was heartwarming!
With that said, I knew who Amy would end up with even before she kisses anyone. It was glaringly obvious. I hoped for most twists and turns. Because of that, it was very tedious to read through pages and pages of Amy dating men I had no care for. Like the title says, I wanted to skip to the end simply to have more on-page time with the true love interest.

I really liked the discussions around fate. Yes, Amy technically can save herself from a terrible relationship, but what does she miss in the process by knowing where her love story ends. It's an interesting thought! On top of that, I thought it was sweet to include her mother's unexpected experience with the curse. It was heartwarming!
With that said, I knew who Amy would end up with even before she kisses anyone. It was glaringly obvious. I hoped for most twists and turns. Because of that, it was very tedious to read through pages and pages of Amy dating men I had no care for. Like the title says, I wanted to skip to the end simply to have more on-page time with the true love interest.

I thoroughly enjoyed this British friends to lovers romance with a unique twist!!
Equally funny and heartfelt, this book follows Amy who has inherited the unique ability to see how any relationship will end after a first kiss.
Feeling like she’s never going to find “the one” she gets drunk at her friend’s wedding and ends up kissing three men - one of whom is the man she’s destined to live happily ever after with. The problem is she can’t remember all the men or which kiss was which.
Determined to find out, Amy spends the next several days tracking down the possible candidates while also dealing with a mother who has Early Onset Alzheimer’s and preparing for a big account pitch at her marketing job.
Full of found family, a great cast of secondary characters, a lovely mother-daughter relationship and a swoony happily ever after.
Good on audio narrated by Kitty Kelly and recommended for fans of authors like Sophie Cousens, Linsey Kelk or Josie Silver. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early digital copy in exchange for my honest review.

*Sigh* Well, Skip to the End failed to launch. For me, it started off strangely with the main character testing out mattresses with a salesman nicknamed Mattress Matt... Maybe that was supposed to invoke some giggles, but for me, it was pretty cringe-worthy.
The novel had promise based on the description -- premonitions of the future based on a kiss. But at least 1/3 of the novel focused on a friend's wedding and plans. It was a little boring.
Maybe I didn't appreciate the author's writing style as I just couldn't connect with any of the characters. And the attempts at humor didn't quite make first base with me.
So, after reading 34% of the novel, I struggled to move forward. Skipped a few chapters, then read the ending. No surprise there. At that point, I threw in the towel. An unfortunate one star DNF.

I was intrigued by the premise of this book and that's why I wanted to read it.
Amy kisses men and she has the ability to see how the relationship is going to end. At her friend's wedding, she drunkenly kisses three men and sees one perfect ending, but she can't remember who she kissed. Sounds cute, right?
Unfortunately, it's pretty clear who Amy will end up with from the beginning, so I felt like all the rest of the book was pretty pointless. I just wanted to skip to the end. LOL

Contemporary romance is not my preferred genre, but this was adorable and sweet. I actually had a hard time putting this book down and finished it in one day.
June 20, 2022
Skip to the end… is exactly what I wanted to do when I read this book. I really was excited to read this advanced copy of the book as soon as I read the blurb. Who wouldn’t want to be able to kiss someone and know if it ends in happiness or sorrow but for me the expectation was not met.
I will start with the positives, the concept is brilliant I love this idea that a woman has this ability to kiss a man and she will know how it will end. I also enjoyed the bits with Amy and her mum as they were very sweet and it did melt my heart (I wish I could share which part but feel like that would be a spoiler). When we found out who was the guy I was happy but I wanted more cause I knew it was him from the start and it felt very rushed.
But I have to rate this low because of the following reasons. This book was not personally enjoyable for me and took me several days to power through as I wanted to give it a fair review and some parts were slow while others rushed. I didn’t fall in love with any of the characters which is what I want to be able to do when I read a book even if it is a side character. I felt that the plot was predictable after the first few chapters which don’t get me wrong is fine but for a mystery who is it story I wanted a bit more of a guessing game. Ultimately the novel was a miscommunication trope and sometimes that goes well but rarely and this for me was one of the times where I didn’t enjoy it.
I think had the plot been rearranged a little to start with the mysterious kisses and then move to building the history of Amy’s power (which would have been nice to see more of and understand more context to how it came to be - I mean this is set in the real world so this power is not common), then to being introduced to her friends via the plot, the man hunt and ultimately the reveal. I probably would have rated the book higher.

Skip to the End is a cutesie rom-com style story where the protagonist Amy has been gifted with her family’s ability to see a premonition of how a relationship will end just by sharing a first kiss.
The concept really pulled me in and the cover is attractive but for me it felt a little predictable. It seemed kind of obvious who the “happy ever after” was going to be from about 40% in and the remaining 60% just seemed to be extra plot lines to keep it going until the inevitable happened. Despite this it’s still an easy read and if you’re looking for something to lose yourself in, this is a gem.

Audiobook Review
Overall 3.5 stars
Performance 4 stars
Story 3 stars
When I read the synopsis for Skip to the End I was instantly intrigued. I love books about fate and destiny and I thought this was a fun twist on the trope. The writing was enjoyable and entertaining, but the big mystery of the book was very obvious right from the start. Unfortunately, this made the novel drag a bit, since I knew the majority of the novel was filler until the big reveal. This also made the actual reveal a bit anticlimactic, but I was happy that Amy and the MMC finally figured things out. I actually wish we would have had more page time with them together and happy and it was disappointing that that one slightly open door scene was not between them. The friend group was probably my favorite part of the novel. May, Charlotte, Gareth, Jay, and Amy created such a beautiful found family and I loved how supportive and wonderful they were together.
The narration by Kitty Kelly was really enjoyable. I did have trouble sometimes differentiating between the different characters, but overall it was a great listening experience.
CW: parent with dementia/early onset Alzheimer's (some on page scenes), grief, parental abandonment (past), FMC goes on a couple of dates with an aggressive and verbally abusive OM
OW/OM notes: The FMC kisses a couple OM and has sex with one OM after kissing the MMC. The MMC goes out on a few dates with one OW.

4 stars!
"Skip to the End" by Molly James is a great book with a fun, unique premise. This book combines the drama with the fantastical, complete with engaging dialogue, frequently silly banter, excellent secondary characters, an interesting commentary on dementia, true love, and mother/daughter relationships, and even a (very) slight mystery element. Though the ultimate ending of this story is pretty easy to guess (and guessable very early on), the road to get there is still entertaining and often heartwarming. I very much enjoyed following Amy as a main character. I was drawn into the magical realism of her life and enjoyed watching her eliminate the different men who might be "the one" for her. I loved her attitude, her demeanor, her sarcasm, her wit, everything! I also loved seeing the varied different personalities of the guys she has decided to date. I adored Gareth, what a perfect, swoon-worthy main male character! This book reminded me of "Fleabag" a little, or something like "Bridget Jones's Diary," so if you're into that sort of thing, give this book a shot! You won't be disappointed! If you don't think you're into fantastical romances, I implore you, give this one a shot. It might surprise you!

⭐⭐⭐½
Amy has a peculiar gift: when she kisses someone for the first time, she can see how their story will end. A useful gift, you may say. But would you really like to have it? Of course, you'd get back hours of your life that you would have wasted on the wrong person, but you'd always miss the joy and the suspense of the ride too.
What immediately caught my eye about this book was the synopsis. The concept of the kiss-premonitions was pretty cool and made me reflect on how the uncertainty of our (love) life can be a source of anxiety as well as the main reason for the thrill.
The story, albeit a bit predictable , was extremely enjoyable and sweet.
I liked the friendship dynamics and the relationship between Amy and her mum.
If you're in the mood to read a light and funny rom-com, this is the book for you.

Would you keep turning the pages if you already knew how your love story was going to end? It’s like putting a stack of money on a roulette number when you know you are going to lose.

Amy has a gift (or a curse) if she first kisses someone she sees how the relationship ends. At one of her best friends weddings. Amy gets drunk and has 3 first kisses and premonitions and one is a happy ending. Amy has to try and figure out who was whom.
I loved this one so much. It's like a warm hug. I laughed and cried. This is definitely a new favorite.

Skip to the End is a charming, sweet and lighthearted romance with a little magic.
Amy is psychic in a way that shows her how a relationship will end with the first kiss. Understandably, kissing anyone makes her apprehensive but she drunkenly decides to kiss three men at her friend’s wedding. Upon waking she remembers two breakups and one true love but many of the details are murky. With the help of her friends she will stop at nothing to find The One.
I enjoyed this novel from the start, I thought Amy was very likable with a great group of supportive friends. I adored the setting and all the British lingo. Even though the plot was quite predictable, I found myself flipping page after page. A feel good story of living in the moment with the people you love the most!

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐💫 (3.5)
Steam Level: 🔥🔥(fade to black/vague open door scene)
Trigger Warning: parent with dementia
Amy has inherited a very strange ability from the women in her family. When she kisses someone for the first time she is able to see how their potential relationship would end. While this definitely helps her avoid creeps and cheaters, she also knows she still hasn't met her soulmate. That all changes when she drunkenly kisses three men at her friend's wedding reception and one ends up being her happily ever after. The only problem? She can't remember who it was! Now Amy is determined to find the identity of her mysterious Mr. Right and finally be done with her kissing curse.
This was certainly an interesting premise! I found Amy to be an enjoyable heroine despite the fact that she was a tad oblivious in some parts. I liked seeing her test the waters with her potential true loves, although I found it easy to predict early on who she was meant to be with. This didn't necessarily bother me, but I was disappointed that Mr. Right got so little page time. I would have liked a little more from that relationship since the time we did see of them together was very sweet. I do think this could be labeled more as women's fiction, so keep that in mind going in or you might be disappointed in the romance side of things. That being said, the relationship between Amy and her mom was really beautiful, with an especially tender moment between them at the end. I'm glad I gave this a try and would definitely be interested in trying another book by this author in the future!

Ich weiß gar nicht wo ich richtig anfangen soll. Als ich das 1.Kapitel von der Leseprobe gelesen habe, war ich wirklich hin und her gerissen und wollte dieses Buch unbedingt haben, um es lesen und rezensieren zu können. Leider war das Buch doch nicht ganz so gut wie erhofft. Durch das erste Kapitel hatte ich schon eine sehr große Erwartung, die leider nicht so ganz getroffen wurde. Ich muss sagen an sich ist das Buch echt nicht schlecht und viele Passagen haben mir sehr gefallen und mich zum Lachen gebracht.
Doch es gab auch einige Stellen an denen ich nicht ganz verstanden habe, was gerade passiert und wo ich jetzt bin. Das hat mich echt verwirrt gehabt. Mir hat außerdem nicht so wirklich gefallen, dass man überhaupt nicht viel von Amy's Privatleben wie z. B. Arbeit mitbekommen hat. Es ging wirklich fast ausschließlich um diese 3 Typen, die sie geküsst hatte und den richtigen finden musste.
Trotzallem hab ich Amy sehr ins Herz geschlossen genauso wie May, Jay, Charlotte und Gareth.
Das Ende hat mich total Glücklich gemacht und ich hatte schon von Anfang an das Gefühl, wer der Richtige für Amy sein wird.
Trotz der anfänglichen Schwierigkeiten das Buch zu lesen, habe ich das Buch sehr geliebt und die Geschichte ist mal was anderes und sehr empfehlenswert.
4/5⭐

I just finished Skip to the end by Molly James and here is my review.
Amy Daniels has a great life. Great career, ready to buy her first home.. Yet she can’t seem to find a man. It’s not because she isn’t looking and there are plenty who want to give it a try but Amy has a unique gift… She can see how the relationship will end when she kisses the person.
Not just how it ends but every single detail leading up to it too.
After spending years going through the same disaster after the next, she feels like giving up but at the wedding of her dear friend, she drunkenly kisses 3 different men and one of them was the one….Shame Amy is too drunk to remember who the 3 men were let alone the one who is her Mr. Right….
This book was hilarious. Seriously funny and super cute! I couldn’t imagine having a gift like Amy’s but wouldn’t it save some serious time? I love all the characters and wish I had more friends like these! Everyone was super unique and really likable. I love books like these, easy to read and entertaining from start to finish. I have to admit that I knew who I wanted it to be and was planning on starting a mutiny if she didn’t end up with the person I wanted.
I love romance books like this. Soft and lighthearted but with a real world story underneath. Amy’s mother battles dementia and it's quite crushing to watch someone you love start to forget you. The theme of this book, for me, is definitely live for today and don’t be scared to say what you want.
I was entertained from start to finish and definitely want more from this author.

Amy hat eine besondere Gabe von ihrer Mutter geerbt - immer, wenn sie jemanden zum ersten Mal küsst, hat sie eine Vision, die das Ende der Beziehung zeigt.
Auf der Hochzeit ihrer besten Freundin küsst sie drei Männer, davon zwei Nieten und das lang ersehnte Happy End. Nur leider kann sie sich aufgrund des Alkohols nicht mehr an die Männer erinnern und versucht ihren Mr. Right zu finden.
Der Klappentext und das Cover haben mich direkt überzeugt. Beides zusammen schreit nach einer humorvollen Liebesgeschichte. Trotzdem kommen auch ernstere Themen nicht zu kurz. Der lockere Schreibstil sorgt dafür, dass man das Buch kaum aus der Hand legen möchte.
Amy und ihre Clique sind wunderbar abwechslungsreiche Charaktere. Jeder hat seine ganz eigene Art und zusammen ergeben sie eine tolle Mischung. Es macht wirklich Spaß sie durch die tückische Suche zu begleiten und mitzurätseln.
Auch wenn mir ziemlich schnell klar war, wer Amys Mr. Right ist, wurde ich von diesem Buch nicht enttäuscht. Eine schöne, kurzweilige Geschichte, die ich absolut empfehlen kann!

Nope. I can`t do this anymore. Amy was annoying and boring. She was trying to hard to be interesting but failing. None of the characters intersted me and it felt like it was all over the place.

I think this might be the first romance book I’ve ever read and was pleasantly surprised. It did however lose me a bit towards the end. Story seemed to drag off into mulch but cute nonetheless.
