About the book (from Goodreads)

This question haunts James, infamous in New York for his bar and his playboy lifestyle. James knows what he wants. That is, until his best bartender, Amber proposes a casual sex relationship. The rules were simple: tell no one, do not get attached, and absolutely do not fall in love. But when James' best friend enters a relationship with Amber, the rules that were originally easy to follow, become an unexpected liability.

In My Significant Nobody, by Stevie D. Parker, friendships are tested, rules are broken, and a simple plan transforms into a whirlwind of emotions, epiphanies, and the ultimate test of loyalty.

Note: I read this book alongside many others for the January 2022 book club: Turning the Page.

My first impressions

Please keep in mind that this is not my typical choice of book. I think this is important because the author is clearly a skilled writer, and many people who do read this genre enjoy the book. I plan to read Parker's other book -Wounds of Time- soon because I like the writing style. That is why I am giving it four stars instead of three.

I will admit; the book's first half was hard to get through! That being said, at around the 50% mark, it gets much better! I enjoyed James' perspective more than Ambers's perspective.

The Good Things

1. The story is well-written. It is clear that the author is a skilled writer, and that reflects in My Significant Nobody.

2. The characters are unique, especially James.

3. If you love a slow burn - this is your type of book!

4. I love the cover! Very appealing.

The Bad Things

1. Amber and James are both SO stubborn, and it made me grind my teeth!

2. I didn't love the story overall - however, as I mentioned above, this isn't my typical choice of the genre!

My Final Rating:

☆☆☆ (Goodreads)

☆☆☆ (Amazon)

☆☆☆ (Blog)

Takeaway: This is a good read. I may not have loved it, but you might! Especially if you love a slow-burn romance with lots of spice.
