Second First Impressions A Novel

"Second First Impressions is about realizing that life is short, and that to live it to the fullest we must be both selfish and selfless. It urges us to soak up the beauty of each passing moment - and this wondrous book is a good place to start." - Entertainment Weekly

"Thorne manages to bring all the characters to vivid life, endearing them to the reader through the enumeration of their quirks and fleeting revelations about their pasts. Each scene between the protagonists-whose first meeting will make you laugh and wince simultaneously-is a delight, as is Ruthie's motley found family." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"A brilliant, biting, hilarious new voice. The Hating Game will take the rom-com world by storm. One of the best I've read, ever." - Kristan Higgins, New York Times bestselling author

"Funny, smart, fresh, and thoroughly enjoyable from the first delicious page to the last. I highly recommend." - Susan Elizabeth Phillips, New York Times bestselling author, on The Hating Game

"I inhaled Second First Impressions! I had to force myself to slow down because I didn't want it to end. It's a truly adorable, heart-warming, swoon-worthy love story. A book hasn't given me the warm-fuzzies like this for a very long time." - Beth O'Leary, bestselling author of The Flatshare

"Second First Impressions is the warmest, coziest, sweetest book of the year, an absolutely perfect blend of humor and heart. I want to live inside Sally Thorne's brain." - Emily Henry, New York Times bestselling author of Beach Read

"Following 99 Percent Mine, Thorne's latest novel is a sweet story, merging a woman whose fears tend to overpower her dreams, and a slow-burn romance that turns her world upside down." - Library Journal

"Second First Impressions was perfect for the moment I was reading it in. It's funny and might make you cry (in a cathartic way), and has a hero whose kindness I truly loved." - Smart Bitches, Trashy Books

"Sally Thorne satisfies hearts longing for laughter in their love stories... [Joshua and Lucy's] battle of wits is tremendously fun-acerbic and sexy and filled with tension. The result is a wicked, witty romance that will capture readers' hearts long before Joshua manages to capture Lucy's." - Washington Post on The Hating Game

"Good fun." - People on The Hating Game
