Save the Best for Last by Jennifer ProbstMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Tessa Harper and her two friends own Quench, a highly successful women's magazine. Tessa specialises in makeovers where she helps women build their self esteem and go after what they really want in life. However, just recently Tessa has started to feel somewhat unfulfilled, all these women seem to want to do is get some guy's attention - this shouldn't about getting a guy but about being your best self.
Then when some research indicates that the magazine is losing out by not having any kind of sports articles, one of her friends suggests that Tessa gets some advice from a mutual friend, Ford Maddox, who hosts a very successful sports radio chat show. Ford and Tessa don't really get on, they each think the other's job is silly, she thinks he's a man child and he thinks she's an uptight, snobby princess. Ford has been in love with his co-worker Patricia for two years but she has strictly friend-zoned him while dating guys who cheat on her and treat her badly.
In return for teaching Tessa about sports, giving her some advice about sports stars to interview, and co-hosting a podcast with her, Ford asks for a makeover to help him win the fair Patricia. Will these two opposites realise that they are meant for each other?
This was okay, but I can't help but feel that Ford's makeover was just wear better shoes and white t-shirts and have a few scatter cushions whilst Tessa had to become less high maintenance and learn to love sport. I would have loved Ford to have had to do more because he didn't seem to grow as a person.
I received an ARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
