THE NO-SHOW BY BETH O’LEARY Tiktok sensation Beth O’Leary brings us one of the most eagerly anticipated new releases of 2022. Three women, with nothing in common, get stood up on Valentine’s Day by the same man. Ambitious life coach Siobhan is supposed to meet Joseph Carter for a Valentine’s breakfast, but he doesn’t show up. Tree surgeon Miranda, who is used to being treated like “one of the guys” by her male co-workers, is looking forward to a romantic Valentine’s lunch with her boyfriend, Joseph Carter, but he doesn’t materialise. Shy, introverted charity shop volunteer Jane is relieved when her new friend Joseph Carter agrees to be her fake date for a Valentine’s party but is let down when he doesn’t appear. What follows is a romantic comedy with a twist that is heart-breaking and heart-warming in equal measure.
