Happy Publication Day! While I enjoy other genres of books, romantic-comedy is the one that allows me to relax the most. Lindsey Kelk is skilled in writing this type of book, and I always look forward to the antics of her female protagonists. For fans of the author’s “I Heart” series, you will not be disappointed in her newest book.
Ros is a likeable, quirky young woman who has happily returned home to England after three years away working in the U.S. She misses her friends and family and wants to pick up her life where she left it before the move abroad. She soon learns, however, that after three years away not everything will be the same as the way she left it. Her parents, recent empty-nesters, have rekindled their passion for one another and have relegated Ros into a shed/bedroom in their backyard – not exactly the former bedroom she left behind. But where she lives is only temporary and she’s desperate to see her friends again. So Ros sends a group message to all her contacts. She hadn’t intentionally sent this message to Patrick, a former boyfriend who dumped her, but when he messages her back she agrees to meet him again. Will Ros be able to return to the life she had before?
I was thoroughly entertained throughout the book, which is full of OMG/LOL moments. One of the things I love most about the author, is her quirky, likeable and interesting characters and this book has plenty of those (including a rich, teenaged gamer who wears animal masks to conceal his identity). The story is engaging and flows logically. I appreciated the diversity of the characters, as well as the personal growth of Ros as the story unfolds.
I highly recommend this book to those that appreciate great romantic-comedy.
Thanks to Edelweiss and Harper Collins for the ARC of this book in exchange for the honest review provided here.
My rating: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️/5.

I love a good book review — your one is great — as I find things I may not at first consider reading. This sounds like something I could entertain myself with during being at home.

Might have to give this one a go! I’ve never really considered romantic comedy books before, I’ve only stuck to movies

This sounds like a super cute book! I don't usually read rom-coms but I'm in the mood for something fun and light so I'll have to look for this one.
