What to expect
Perfect for fans of Lindsey Kelk and Mhairi Macfarlane.
In an Instagram world, can you find love just by being yourself…
Popular lifestyle blogger, Libby Cartwright, is being boggled by business when help shows up in the shape of gorgeous but shy, Charlie Richmond. Libby’s determined to keep it at ‘just good friends’ – she’s dated someone from ‘Corporate Land’ before and it didn’t end well. As she and Charlie begin spending more time together, Libby is starting to waver – until she discovers something which makes her question if she’s ready for love.
Still reeling, she suffers another blow as her blog is attacked in a national newspaper, for promoting unachievable perfection. Libby knows it’s not true – but the only way to prove that is to strip off the armour she’s been wearing for years.
Is she brave enough to show the world she’s far from perfect? And will Charlie be by her side if she does…

Not my usual read and way to wishy washy lovey romance for me, but it is a good book beautifully written and if that's your kind of read then you will love it. I struggled to relate to the characters and the upper class feel. I was always waiting for a twist or something that would push me into thinking what would happen next keeping you on the edge of my seat, but sadly not, just some people living a very comfortable privileged life and two friends who finally get it together.

I wasn't sure if this was set in the 1890s or 1990s! Saccharine sweet... I also found the narration extremely slow, she wasn't reading in a conversational manner and it was extremely off putting, to me.
