Three Blind Dates (Dating by Numbers Series Book 1)

I loved the banter between Noely and her BFF Dylan. Actually the author writes the banter between the main character, her family, and especially the three "blind dates" incredibly well. This book is Rom-Com at its finest. I very much like the writing style and voice of author Meghan Quinn and look forward to more of this series.

Absolutely amazing book!!! Right from the beginning it pulls you in and you fall in love with Noely and get journey to find true love Each journey or should I say date is an amazing and the way it's laid out is fantastic. All the guys are awesome but the one that falls for her was truly a perfect match!

This story was just what I needed. So many LOL moments I had to get out if bed as my laughing woke hubby. It's a really fresh story and has just the right dash of heat/chemistry. I loved the banter, the supporting characters were the best and I absolutely adored Noely. Definitely recommend this book to anyone needing a laugh.

I think I have a new favorite author! This story, told mostly from the perspective of Noely, is about a woman looking for love who joins a blind dating app. She meets three great guys, learns something about each of them and also learns some things about herself. Laugh out loud funny! Highly recommend.

What more can you say than WOW. MS. Quinn can pull every emotion from a reader she can make you pissed say aww a year run down your cheek and laugh your butt off great book highly recommend. Oh an warning of you read in public people will think your plane nuts ? what are you waiting for get cracken READ NOW

I liked this book, it was cute and sweet.Miley is !looking for love and decided to try a dating program. She meets 3 great but complicated guys. Unfortunately even though they each are into her, they still have issues they each need to work through before getting in a relationship.

This book started out engaging and entertaining, but I think it could've used a more thorough edit. By the time we find out who the heroine ends up with, we're at 90% of the book. Also, there were a lot of easy to catch typos/inconsistencies/incorrect phrases that were driving me insane. What could've been a fun, fantastic book ended up being just okay.

It was a quick read and Noely a morning TV personality in Malibu wants love and marriage. She tries a new company that vets you with your profile set you with dates that start at a restaurant and then some type of activity. Noely gets 3 choices and each man is a match for her.

I loved this book! I laughed so hard at parts! At other parts I was a bit hopeless. I was Noely. The entire time I was reading this, I was Noely. The Suit, The Rebel, or the Jock? I found myself wanting each to be “the one.” In the end though, I loved the way Noely and “the one” fell in love!

A fun read. The heroine, Noely, is funny and successful but lonely. She tries a new blind date app/ experience to try to find someone. I enjoyed her ups and downs through the suit, the rebel, and the athlete are relatable and made me alternately laugh and feel bad with her. It has a interesting HEA and we will get to hear all three men get their HEA.

If you want a fun pick me up with a few sexual scenes, give this a try.

Well Meghan Quinn has certainly done it again with this fantastic story. I would give it a 4.5 stars and highly recommend to others. This is a love triangle of sorts... but I will tell you I was on the fence on who I was rooting for.. but for me my heart went with The Jock-- I am a lover of jocks and any stories that are about them... I will not tell you how this all plays out but it is well worth flipping through the pages to discover who is the winner in the end! Honestly no matter who 'gets the girl' I loved the other contenders as well and would have been happy with any that Noely chose.

The Suit- Jack
The Rebel- Beck
The Jock- Hayden

Blind dates can be hard, they can be enlightining, they can be scorching one-night stands... but will Noely find her soul mate or get 3 strikes???

All 3 men have there hangups... Noely has her hang ups as well but will one give in to the passion and what could be in the future?

Get to one clicking to see what happens. Don't worry if your chosen one doesn't get chosen they have books coming out this year too.. hopefully they get the HEA's too!!

Ohh this book has all the feels I loved the blind date venue setup I thought it was clever and very original. Secondly I love the movie You got mail so I loved when they played it out. I found myself rooting for Jack from the beginning of the book

It was hilarious!! Quinn has provided us with a fun and cute story filled with romantic craziness and suspense. As well as mess ups and weird things going on. I laughed lots of tears and had a solid good time reading this!

I received a copy of this book and am voluntarily reviewing.

I really enjoyed Three Blind Dates and i can't wait for the next 2 books!
When Noelly and Jack go on the first date I can't imagine how she ends up with 2 more dates, they are such a good match. But so is Beck. And so is Hayden!
I wanted all 3 to work out! But it ends perfectly.

I laughed SO hard throughout this book, it has comedy, romance, drama - my only regret is not finding this series sooner! "You've Got Mail" is one of my favorite movies, so this book will always hold a special place in my heart.

I had the best time reading this book! Noely is a morning show host that is tired of dating the wrong men so she turns to a new dating app and restaurant to help her find true love. Over the course of 3 Blind Dates, Noely has some truly laugh out loud experiences. The entire Facetime scene with her brother had me laughing so hard I actually couldn't catch my breath. I promise you will have a great time following Noely on her dates with The Suit, The Rebel and The Jock. Now if only I could find this app in real life!

I loved this book so much!! Noely is searching for love and working with a matchmaking company called Going in Blind. You follow her match making journey and her dates with The Suit, The Rebel, and The Jock. Once you get to Part 4, you’ll be on your toes waiting to see how it all ends!

This is my first book by MQ. I have never laughed out loud multiple times throughout a book. I was in tears cracking up over the different situations Noely finds herself in. Gosh, each date was entertaining. 3 book boyfriends in 1! Love it

This book has me laughing out loud, I had to keep reading lines to my husband. What is there not to likely about You've Got Mail, and the whole wooing thing. Serious got guys the Suit, the Rebel and the Jock talk about some serious hotties. Can wait to read the next two books.

The Suit, The Rebel, or The Jock?! Hands down I’d pick the rebel. Beck is absolutely my cup of tea. Three Blind Dates was such a fun read, it was light and carefree in a way that I needed right now. Make sure you check this one out and let everyone know who you would choose!

This was easily one of my favorite reads! Each character has you routing for them. It was witty, realistic (wrong timing happens) and heartwarming with the perfect amount of sizzle too! I cannot wait for the next 2 books in this series. I'm not naming names as that will spoil the fun.... But Noelly found her perfect match, and I'm looking forward to seeing the other 2 bachelors find theirs! Meghan Quinn is definitely on my list of authors to read without question!

Meghan Quinn took me through an emotional ride. Noeley is a hot shot morning news anchor looking for love. She signs up with a dating service and we experience all her highs and lows through 3 different dates. Who will she end up with...The Suit, The Rebel, or The Jock?

This book had me gasping with laughter! Three blind dates with three "almost" perfect men, what a treat! I was rooting for all three men and am very happy with the ending! Now if only a rom-com loving suit, rebel, or jock comes knocking for me! Very much recommend this book!

Being an uber fan of Meghan Quinn I had high expectations for this book and the woman did not disappoint! I love Noely and her sassy sense of humor along with her three blind dates. The chemistry between Jack and Noely was off the charts. Every character was so well written that I wish I was friends with them all. This was an easy read full of humor, romance, and shenanigans. Can't wait for the next book to see what's in store for the rebel. Curse you for making me wait for it to come out!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Three Blind Dates is full of laugh out loud moments and moments that will warm your heart.

Noely is on the search for love. She’s been single for awhile and has gotten to that point where she wants someone to love, someone to be her forever. So a new app has come available, to go on blind dates. And just pretty much jumps at the chance. She has dates with The Suit, The Rebel, and The Jock. But who will hold her heart forever?

Quinn has been one of my favorite authors, She brings so much life to her characters, and I highly enjoyed this story. I didn’t connect fully with the characters. I think the reason, is I wanted her to end up with someone else. I know, I know I just thought there would be a different ending. But all in all, it was well done. I can’t wait to see what happens in the books to come.

Overall, Four Boundless Stars!

Fun, predictable read, perhaps a bit cheesy but entertaining
Did like all the characters, some laugh out loud moments, a few I knew that was coming, and yes I knew how it would end. Will eventually read the next one in the series

Just finished my first Love-It, Can’t-Put-It-Down, Read-It-Till-My-Eyes-Were-Bloodshot, OMG-I-Have-To-Go-To-Work-Now!!! book of 2018... Three Blind Dates! ??? It made me swoon. It made me laugh. It made me blush. It just made me feel damn good! And I too love You’ve Got Mail! I will now be happily humming it’s opening song all day while thinking of this book! ? ?”Dreams are nothing more than wishes, and a wish is just a dream you wish to come true. Woo woo.”?

4.25 Stars

This is NOT a love triangle! Ok whew, got that out of my system. Noely Clark wants what ever girl wants and that's to fall in love, get married and have babies, but being a morning talk show host, well she gets some real weirdos, so she signs up to a dating program. Different from any online dating apps you see out there. The program matches you with the person that has about the same interests as you. Noely gets to meet these gentlemen at a restaurant and begins the process. She meets The Suit, The Rebel and The Jock.

I'm not going to tell you who she ends up with, but I kind of figured out pretty quickly, although the author had a way of me questioning my thought process many times.

I will say this, I love the premise of the book and especially if you're a fan of You Got Mail as I am, you find the story even more endearing. I know what team I was rooting for, which team are you rooting for?

This was super cute. For the first time ever though I don't have to say it was my favorite! I loved it and i would read it again of course but with the three men I didnt fall madly in love with the winner of Noelys heart. I liked him a great deal but I didnt need him to be mine for the first Meghan Quinn book ever. However I'm looking forward to the next two books a lot! I knew who she was going to pick and while I agree with it I liked another man more. Just not for her. Or for her? I dont know but I thought this book was super creative and extremely well done. A wonderful introduction to what I'm sure is going to be a fantastic series. (Im looking forward to the last book the most not to keep you guessing lmao I just liked him the most.) I honestly really liked all 3 guys and would have been happy with any outcome. Drunk Noely is beyond amusing and sober Noely is someone anyone could relate to. yet another great book by this author.

This book made me laugh so hard and I could not keep it in, so if reading in public be warned ;). Parts of the story I really liked, but there were a few bits that annoyed me enough to keep me from rating higher. All in all, It was a fun read.

Quirky humor. Tons of tingling romance mishaps. A leading lady looking for love in all the wrong places? These are just a few of the words I'm using to tempt you into one clicking Meghan Quinn's new standalone, Three Blind Dates.
Quinn brought the sass with Good Morning Malibu TV host and lady on the hunt for love, Noely Clark . Her tale of three blind dates gone ironically right had me almost tempted to head to the end to see whom she picked. Yes ladies, Quinn rocked out another room com show stopper that hit every mark my perfect room com list.
In Three Blind Dates, Quinn gives us three perfect men-The Suit, The Rebel, and The Jock. Each delicious in their own way, had me torn as to whom she would end up with. Her whole Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan approach definitely had me entertained. The cute happily ever after was sweet, romantic and had me sighing like all well written rom coms should. Make sure you pick this one up!

This chick is hilarious! Not only was this book funny, it was also romantic and kind of a mystery. All I have to say is I totally want to be Noely. Oh well I just have to settle for living vicariously through this made up character while I was reading.

One of my favorite books by meghan yet. I fell in love with each guy. The suite ,the rebel and the jock. I'm partial to the jock as we met him in the team player anthology. Noely is lucky to end up with any of the three. Can't wait for the next two books.

I adore this author, and I thoroughly loved this book. It has many laugh out loud moments, as well as heart felt elements. It was a bit predictable, but the journey was oh so much fun. I can’t wait to experience the stories of The Rebel and The Jock!

Not what I was expecting but so happy with the ending! I loved all of the dates and can’t wait to read the following books in this series. This is my first book by this author and what a treat, I will definitely be trying some of her other books soon.

I loved this book and literally laughed out loud at some parts. The characters were great and there are some great steamy scenes that were so hot! I cracked up when they were talking about "hockey sex." (You'll have to read it to find out why.) Can't wait to see what is in store for you know who (no spoilers here!) in the next book

Omg. Noely is the most hilarious individual that I have ever read. She has no filter, well she has I've but it's a little clogged. But I loved the relationship age had with Jack. It was perfect. He was all swooning and sexy...

First let me say I hated the f-bombs used liberally throughout the story. For this alone i wanted to rate 3 1/2 stars. With that said the story was cute, at one point she gave up the “milk” to freely. I liked how she began to listen to her heart and understand what she truly wanted.

This was a great new story. It was so much fun to read and to find out who she would ultimately end up with. I laughed so much and enjoyed every minute. I am so happy I got to read such an amazing new take on a romance story. Absolutely incredible

I love You Got Mail! This book is great!!! I loved experiencing all of Noel’s dates and how she found the one. I can’t wait to continue the series. You want to read and literally laugh out loud, then this is the book for you!!!

This was a funny , angsty, different book and I loved every last page! Meghan Quinn doesn't disappoint in this book, the story is uniquely written with a little different spin. Definitely will be waiting on pins and needles for the next book.

I don't thk I've laughed that hard since well...meghan's last book I read. Super cute and super funny. She did an amazing job with all 3 men and had you rooting for all of them and not hating any of them. 2 thumbs way up

I am only at 62% and yet I have laughed so hard my sides literally hurt. I will definitely come back and update this review when I finish, which I'm sure will be the wee hours of the morning because I can't stand how much I love this book!

This Book Was Perfect
It has love, romance, comedy and a little bit of mystery. I haven't laughed so hard and so much while reading a book since, I can't remember when. I will definitely be reading the next in this series.

I needed a cute easy book. I read a lot of darkness romance and other mind bending books so I was ready for something easy and light. This was funny and still had angst. The blind date platform was different and 3 hot men!!!

I was not expecting a lot here. Not an author I had read before but this was so great in every way. Funny, snarky, sexy, touching. All around wonderful book. Will be looking to read the rest of the series.

This was one of my favorite books ever! I had so many lol moments and loved the entire story. Between Noely's crazy hilarious brother and sister n law to her best friend, they all had me in stitches! I highly recommend this book and will be reading the follow-up for sure. So good!!

Love this author! There are not really many times I laugh out loud reading maybe just a smile to so but at one point in this book I literally lost my breath laughing. I love this book it was a fantastic read by a fantastic author. And might I add if you haven’t yet please read her book Dear Life. It is terrifically wonderful!!!!

I loved this book! It was so hard to decide who I wanted Noely to fall in love with. I'm so glad it turned out the way it did though. He is perfect for her.
I can't wait for the 2 men she didn't choose to get their own HEAs ?

When I read a Meghan Quinn book, it pretty much sucks up my whole day and I read this series in about 72 hours. I related well to the main character, Noely, although I don’t necessarily agree with her choice at the end, I found the book to be well written and just not as predictable as a lot of romance novels are. Don’t skip this series!

This is my first book by Meghan Quinn. Loved it! Really funny and a great story. I like humor in the books I read and this one had it. It was fun to read about her adventures on her 3 blind dates. You've Got Mail is my all time favorite movie as well so I loved reading the movie references. And, where Noely was born and hung out, I live there right now! So that was fun to see the references to the places I go to. Highly recommend this book and I found myself a new author I love!

Excellent twists, great story line. Loved the whole concept of the blind date system. But the book itself is just a great read. I legitimately laughed out loud, and had a couple of teary moments too. I'd recommend this to anybody.

Noely Clark is looking for love. As a morning show host, her busy life has left her lonely. Enter Going In Blind - a restaurant catering to blind dates set up through their matchmaking app. Meghan Quinn’s take on the phenomena of online dating is hilarious with a touch of romance, heartache and true love. Her characters are lovable and will have you rooting for that HEA. Noely has 3 chances to find “the one.” Who will it be?

The Suit - Jack, a wealthy, handsome but very private businessman

The Rebel - Beck, a free spirit, no holds barred recent divorcee

The Jock - Hayden, not your typical celebrity athlete he’s sweet and considerate

And don’t fret over who she doesn’t select because they get their own story in the Dating By Numbers Series. Let the dating and romance begin!

Ok. This book was totally adorable and sexy!! All three men are HOT!! But it's obvious who it meant for Noely. Wish there was more about their relationship, after they got back together. Other wise it's pretty awesome!!

Meghan Quinn always writes such funny stories. This one has me rushing to the end though so I could find out who she ends up with because they were all great guys. I can't wait to read their stories now!!

short review with no spoilers here!
This book was hilarious. It lures you in and makes you stay with how likeable the main character is. I really felt everything she was going through. Well almost everything ;). If you're looking for a book that is funny, dirty, and just a plain good read, this is it. Doesn't leave you on a cliff hanger, and you're not driven insane with a boring plot. Totally worth it.

Truly enjoyed this book. This is my first book by this author and I am looking for the next two in this series. Meghan keeps you thoroughly with sexy moments and humorous moments. Glad I happened to stumble upon this!

I this this book. It was completely different than anything I have read before. The characters were all amazing and it was hard not rooting for certain guys but as always Meghan gives you the perfect couple

Another winner for Meghan Quinn! Three Blind Dates is based off the movie You've Got Mail and let me tell you, it's just as cute! (With some sexy times added, of course!) It's my favorite read so far for 2018!

I absolutely loved this book and I can't wait for the next in the series! I had such a hard time deciding on who I wanted to be the ONE! But I'm so glad he was it! (Not spoiling this for anyone) Read it!

This must be one of my favorite rom coms! Such a laugh out loud feel good book! You actually don’t have a choice but to love ALL characters!
I loved the unique plot of this book and the author managed to create such an amazing dialogue! The whole book had a great pace and it kept me engrossed from the very beginning.
I just couldn’t decide who I want the heroine to end up with. I LOVED all three heroes, but in the end I was delighted with her choice.
This book has it all: witty and sassy heroine, three hunks, unique plot, great character development.
I just couldn’t fault it at all.
I highly recommend this read, you will definitely love it.
I received an advance readers copy and volunteered a review.

This book is amazing. After having a poopy couple days I needed something to read to lift my spirits. This was it. It keeps you guessing until the end. Although ill admit im glad the guy i was rooting for one!

This book is packed full of fun and laughter and made for a very enjoyable read! I loved the idea of these blind dates and getting to experience them with Noely Clark as she experienced them. There were a few unexpected surprises as the story went on and loved that. It kept me guessing. I thought the story was well written and had a fun play on a popular movie from the late 90's. There were a few times where Noely was in her own head a few times and I just wanted to rattle her out. She didn't end up with a bachelor that I wanted for her but that's ok, we get his story later! Overall, this book was highly entertaining! This author delivered another amazing book and I can't wait to read more!

This easy to read book kept me in stitches as main character, Noely, tries her hand at blind dating. From awkward moments to steamy sex scenes, I found myself unable to put it down until I knew who she ended up with!

This is definitely a favorite author of mine! Her books are so funny and well written, and this one was her funniest IMO. If you need a pick me up and a break from all the angst in other books then this is the one. Noeley was so relatable and endearing, also the supporting characters like her brother and sister in law and Dylan were freaking fantastic! Loved the guys too of course:)

Three blind dates with very sexy guys. Like one of her dates I got married to my HS sweetheart 41 years ago and it broke my heart that his didn't last but man his he sexy, he is the Rebel. The Jock I never dated a jock myself never wanted to, they scared me with their God like egos, this guy is not even like that, he was adorable cute and sweet. The Suit like the Rebel is mysterious and holds a lot in that can turn you on or off. The thing is they all three have issues that makes them appear like they are not what Noely is looking for and that is Her One, Her Forever Man. Meghan takes us on a beautiful heartfelt quest and I wonder who you will root for?

Meghan Quinn is a new author to me and Three Blind Dates the first of her books. Is is possible to fall in love at first book? Yes, yes it is!

This book has everything in it. So many hilarious moments I thought my middle name was Snort, heat and more heat, my Kindle almost fried. If that wasn’t enough, You’ve Got Mail was heavily played into, my love for that movie certainly added to my adoration at Quinn’s style.

Three Blind Dates ... the Suit, the Rebel and the Jock pursue Noely. Who will win her heart? This is a chase you don’t want to miss.

I’d keep going on but book 2 in this series is calling my name.

I'm so glad that I took a chance on this book. It made me laugh, it made me smile, and I became hooked in the story. It was hard to put down as I wanted to finish to find out who the heroine would choose. A very good read!

This book was definitely a fun and easy read. Enjoyed it and really want to follow the other 2 guys stories. Definitely was not disappointed, had the right amount of funny moments vs sexual tension. Won’t give too much away but it’s really worth the read.

4
I enjoyed reading about Noely looking for her forever, it was like watching my best friend trying to find love. Every date she went on had me on my toes, hoping they were the one for her. She needs someone that compliments her life and isn’t just a lover, but a friend, a companion. She found her person, and I was shocked at who it was, but you’ll have to read to find out which one it is; the suit, the rebel, or the jock.
I highly recommend this book, it was so fun and had me giggling like crazy in moments. Some of the scenes are just ridiculously funny and entertaining.
*ARC received in exchange for honest review*

Not very often do I laugh out loud to a book... But this one did it for me. Smart, witty, and the realistic banter between friends had me giggling all the way. Great writing style, good on ya Meghan Quinn

I giggled a few times out loud with the giddy feelings. The end was sort of predictable but I was ok with that since I was rooting for him anyways. Too bad his personality was the same as when he was first introduced. It was HOT!

Loved it! I actually laughed out loud. Between snickers, bursts of laughter, and heartwarming smiles; there was a little suspense. I coukd really see the story in my mind's eye, the characters came to life off the page. Funny and so wonderful.

Super funny and totally relatable. Loved all the characters even the older brother, Alex and his Wife Lauren were hilarious. I can't wait to read Books #2 and #3. A definite must read for any reader looking for humor and love.

Another great rom-com from Meghan Quinn! We've got our quirky heroine and our sexy, swoony hero, or in this case, heroes. Not gonna lie, I was a little nervous going into this one, because I hate falling for a hero and then not getting what I want. That didn't happen in this case. This book is full of Meghan Quinn's brand of humor, meaning don't read in public unless you don't care if people stare at you for laughing uproariously at your Kindle. This was a fun, funny, sweet, sexy, swoony read. I'd definitely recommend it!

I couldn't put this book down. It was so funny! Such a brilliant idea for a book and I loved the differences in the men and how it shows that women can be attracted to different kind of men. And to always follow your heart. :)

This is the second book I've read by this author. I loved it as much or more than the previous. It was sweet and funny with tons of witty banter. With a few serious parts thrown in, it was the perfect Rom-Com. Highly recommend!

I just finished Three Blind Dates.
Thank you very f%*&ing much Meghan Quinn for making me pee myself. I mean seriously.... That face time conversation. ? I scared my husband and his gaming friends with the amount of laughing and snorting that happened. You have just ended my craptastic week on the best note possible.
Thank you!

This was my first Meghan Quinn book and I loved it! She made her character funny and flawed and put her into some dating situations that we all can relate to. Really great story and I can't wait to reach the The Rebel with A Cause and the Jock's story next!!

By far my favorite Meghan Quinn book. She is absolutely hilarious and someone you just wish was your best friend. This book has all the swoony feels and just enough junk to keep you drooling. Can't recommend this enough!!!

This was a really fun book to read. The characters are all likable and quirky in their own ways. I laughed out loud (maybe to the point of tears) during some of the scenes. This is a nice, sexy, feel-good book that makes me want the story not to end.

This story had so much humor and so much heart. I absolutely loved every character in this book. It was just as hard for me to make any decisions as the main character in the story. I thought this story was sweet and it made me laugh out loud. Meghan never fails to make me fall in love with her characters and storylines. They are creative, hilarious and heartwarming. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

Omg I absolutely loved this book! The main character is hilarious and quirky and I really loved her first 2 dates. There were moments I would just crack up. Didn’t expect to laugh as much as I did. Great book, definitely would recommend.

I love how Meghan Quinn just keeps getting better and better. Her humor never gets old and she actually has a story to tell. I loved vicariously through Noely’s dating and trying to navigate through what is the normal now. And even though she had her ups and downs, she handled everything with ease. I really loved her attitude. I still can’t tell you who I would choose, but I wouldn’t mind the suit.

It's hard to find a romance that has a decent plot let alone a great one, and then it's got and miss if the physical aspects will be believable or seem forced. This book is everything toy hope to find in a great romance.

Do not read this book in public, unless you want to receive dirty looks for laughing obnoxiously loud! While reading I felt like I was having a conversation with my best friend! If you need a little love and a whole lot of laughter in your life, read this book now!

Oh my gosh, I loved this book so much and I loved "The Suit" at first sight. I can't say much because that will be a huge spoiler, but this book is light, is funny and is easy to read.
Now I had a book hangover, I can't wait for the others two books.

Meghan Meghan Meghan....

You are truly an amazing author!
Such a original story and so much fun to read.. I have never laughed so hard while reading a book in my life!! I loved Noely and Jack!
Looking forward to Becks story.

It was free so I thought to give it a shot but didn't read it because it was only Noely's point of view. At lesst the nine chapters of which I checked the title. And I don't like to read something like a fictional biography.

Meaninig the author was lazy and didn't want to think and write the other half which is as important. So i didn't event bpther
