Publisher Description
If you’re not a ten on Sophie’s spreadsheet, you’re never getting her between the bedsheets…
No aspect of Sophie’s life goes unrecorded in her Excel spreadsheets, so when she accidentally sends it to her entire contact list instead of just her best friend, Sophie has a lot of uncomfortable explaining to do.
First on the list? Dr Michael Adams. After a disastrous first date, Michael scored a ‘3’ on Sophie’s ‘love life’ tab, but when she shows up to apologise for sharing his result with the world, he issues an unexpected challenge: ten dates to prove that love can’t be calculated by an equation or contained by boxes on a spreadsheet.
Sophie isn’t someone who’s used to thinking outside the digital box, but there’s something about Michael that makes her want to take a chance…

About the author
Kathryn started her working life as a retail pharmacist but soon realised trying to decipher doctors' handwriting wasn't for her. In 2011, backed by her family, she left the world of pharmaceutical science to begin life as a self-employed writer.
She lives with two teenage boys and a husband who asks every Valentine's Day whether he has to bother buying a card again this year (yes, he does) so the romance in her life is all in her head.

Delightful & Endearing
Was It Good For You? is delightful, blanket-hugging and endearing. Sophie excels with her spreadsheets, each tab monitoring different aspects of her life. When she is set up with Dr Michael, who appears dishevelled and distracted on their first date, she scores him a 2/10. An accidental send to all contacts means everyone has access to her spreadsheet. After coming to gripes and acing accountability, Sophie reaches out to Michael, who counters that he can prove the ineffectiveness of quantitative measures with ten dates.
One of the biggest wins of this book is its reliability. Technology surely helps us become more productive and effective, but does it fully enable us to discover the power of time, connection and taking in our environment? At first, I was reserved with Sophie but with every page; she grew on her. Her character growth and development were simply remarkable as she holds space for Michael's views, to truly digest his words and try something new. Dr Michael Adams is one of my favourite protagonists of 2023. He was a quiet and humble man who challenged Sophie's synonyms of quiet (timid, aloof and distant) with a dry sense of humour and his wisdom made my heart soar. The progression of their relationship was delightful and magical. Though it appeared repetitive, Sophie not letting go of her spreadsheet and Michael's insecurities show the power of words and how old habits truly die hard. The supporting characters, be it Sophie's city friends and the seniors, were wonderful additions.
Do not skip this book if you're looking for a gradual romance etched with wisdom, vulnerability and challenging your comfort zone.
