They’re falling in love, yet they’ve never met. Maybe fate can intervene in a heartwarming “what-if” short story about new beginnings by the New York Times bestselling author of Yours Truly.

Holly is dealing with the impending death of her grandmother and still reeling from a bad breakup. One bright spot: a Valentine’s Day card on Holly’s windshield—even if it wasn’t meant for her. An amusing mistake soon turns into a lovely exchange of anonymous notes, little acts of kindness, and a growing affection between two strangers. What happens when one of them has to say goodbye?

Abby Jimenez’s Worst Wingman Ever is part of The Improbable Meet-Cute, irresistibly romantic stories about finding love when and where you least expect it. They can be read or listened to in one sitting. Let’s make a date of it.

What an absolute wonderful, heart warming love story.

While it isn't at all like my sweet husband and my story, it is so similar, in the sense that, sometimes, just sometimes, the right person turns up at the right time, (usually in an inside-out and upside-down manner), after a one or two (or more) of life's signature "plot twists" and that person meets their right person.

Or, as I like to call it, "perfect for them" person.

This story is delightful, and heartfelt, and touching. And I truly appreciated the strong sense of love, family, connection, and loyalty.

Can't wait to read the next book in this fun little 6 book series! Great collaboration, Amazon! I 💯 approve!

Classic Jimenez brings ALL the feels AND has a puppy!

I love Abby Jimenez, so when I see her name, I am always going to be in. Even so, I was a little skeptical that a short story could make me care as deeply about the characters and their HEA as her full-length work. Why did I even waste my time doubting? Tears of laughter (Encino Man!), pulled heartstrings (loss of a loved one), a great cast of additional characters, and - of course - a canine wingman who is NOT the worst! I don’t even like historical romance novels, and I now need Jimenez to give us Holly’s grandmother’s love story. (Y’all better get ready for her!) My only complaint is that it wasn’t longer, but that has nothing to do with it not being a full, beautiful story and everything to do with being greedy!

Down to earth, realistic, emotional when it comes to family and yet funny & playful when talking about where to go to meet men. A short story with all the i’s dotted and t’s crossed.

Nice story that ends sooo abruptly

Can I tell you how much I loved this story, but how I thought there would be another chapter? I turned the page expecting the end of the story and got smacked in the face with the Acknowledgements instead! Boohoo and too bad. Perhaps others have mentioned this characteristic in their reviews, which I didn't read before I downloaded this lil story. This has emphasized the lesson about reading reviews first. I probably still would have read this story since I so loved the first installment in this series, but I would have been warned about the abrupt ending.

I have lost someone and know what it’s like to watch them fade away I loved the compassion that was wrote about during her grandmas hospice care. I think this is an adorable short story about inner strength and kindness.

I've never read anything from Abby Jimenez before but I had heard good things so I thought I would try out a short story before committing to a full novel. I really enjoyed this. For a short story the characters felt real and you were rooting for them to find each other. I'll definitely try out one of her novels.
