Publisher's Summary

Noah thinks he's nothing special. Average height, a bit on the skinny side, and cute but rather geeky, he's relentlessly ordinary. He certainly doesn't expect to be noticed by Sol, the gorgeous, dark-haired stranger Noah sees on his commute home most days. But when Noah's friend, Dom, persuades Noah to take a huge risk in a bid to get Sol's attention, things turn out better than Noah dared to hope. Noah and Sol start dating, and much to Noah's surprise, his feelings seem to be reciprocated.

But Noah's insecurities make him doubt Sol. He doesn't believe he's interesting enough or sexy enough to hold Sol's attention, and as Sol tries to get closer, Noah's instinct is to pull away to protect himself. If their relationship is going to survive, Sol needs to convince Noah that he sees Noah very differently than Noah sees himself. Because to Sol, Noah is something very special indeed.

When you feel someone is out of your league

Noah sees a cute guy on the train each day but can’t bring himself to talk to him because Noah views himself as “nothing special”. This was another thoughtful story by Jay Northcote and exactly what I want from romance. The book explores Noah’s insecurities, low self-esteem, and the feelings of inadequacy when you go out with someone much better looking. This was entirely Noah’s journey as he learns to trust that Sol finds him worth loving. As usual, Jay details the small intimacies that make up a relationship and I found myself smiling with pleasure at many of the tender moments. Matthew Lloyd Davies narrates lightly, supporting the gently fun and compassionate tone of the book.
