Love Me Do: the friends-to-lovers feelgood new rom-com from the Sunday Times bestselling author of the I Heart series

Product Information

I absolutely loved Myrna, an old Hollywood actress, she really was a huge highlight of this one for me. As well as writing books, Lindsey co-hosts the award-winning beauty podcast, Full Coverage, and Tight and Fights, a pro-wrestling podcast on the Maximum Fun network. Myrna Moore's portrayal of an adorable and endearing supporting character adds a delightful touch to the narrative. What a heartwarming, fun and hilarious rom-com that takes place in the amazing city of Los Angeles, California! That is until Bel, her sister, Suzannes’s personal trainer comes barging into her home and therefore into Phoebe’s life since Suzanne is out of town and they quickly become friends.

I absolutely loved The Christmas Wish and On a Night Like This so I was super pumped to see what Kelk whipped up next. She has her flaws and she has a past btu she has come to LA for a break from her life and it was great sharing her adventure. The dynamics between Phoebe and Bel, Phoebe and Suze, and Phoebe and Myrna can carry this book just fine.

After booking that much-needed getaway and literally crashing into her sister's sunny California dream house - things start to steam up in the form of a very hot neighbor. I can relate to Phoebe a lot in the sense that she felt unworthy of some of the things that she wanted, which is why she pushed Ren and Bel together. I loved that Phoebe's relationship with her sister was flawed, as because of this we got to see some beautiful bonding moments, and I was glad they were able to develop their relationship further. Now I did like our main character Phoebe and she had some fun moments with all the other characters.

So when she lands in the Hollywood hills a place that proves film stars, golden beaches and secret waterfalls don’t just exist in the movies she can’t resist playing matchmaker for her handsome neighbour, carpenter Ren. Born and raised in South Yorkshire, Lindsey lived in Nottingham, London and New York before settling in LA, where she lives with her husband and two very rude cats. Instead of a Twilight TV series (and don't get me wrong, I'm a not-so-secret Twihard), let's get this one the big screen instead.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Harper 360/Harper Collins for sharing this digital reviewer copy with me in exchange for my honest thoughts.

Lindsey’s novels include the I Heart series, On a Night Like This, and One in a Million, as well as the children’s book series, Cinders and Sparks. You will laugh, you will go to Disneyland, you will be willing some of these characters to get it on already-what more do you want?

The author’s writing style just drew me in and I soon grew very fond of the characters, wanting to keep reading to find out what an earth would happen next. Phoebe is visiting her sister in LA for two weeks in hopes of forgetting her toxic ex and his upcoming wedding. The author weaves a delightful and heartwarming narrative, skillfully blending romance, friendship, and self-discovery into a captivating tale. Unfortunately, her workaholic sister has to take an emergency business trip and leaves Phoebe all alone to entertain herself. Lovelorn Brit Phoebe Chapman has barely set foot in her sister’s house in the Hollywood Hills when she’s swept up by lovable Bel, her sister’s personal trainer, and handsome Ren, the sweet and sensitive carpenter next door.

An utterly unforgettable, spirit-lifting summer rom com that's full of soul, joy, laugh-out-loud moments and meaning. This book is hilarious, endearing, and, if you haven’t gathered by that triple digit number, so relatable. Not only between Phoebe and Bel, who was the epitome of sunshine and butterflies, but also between Phoebe and Myrna, a crotchety eighty-two-year-old former movie star. Unfortunately for Phoebe her sister has to leave immediately and she is left to explore the city with her sister's personal trainer Bel and Ren, the hot guy next door.

For those unfamiliar with Lindsey Kelk, she is from South Yorkshire, England originally, but now lives in Los Angeles after a number of years in New York. I wish we could have gotten more moments with her and Ren because from the little bit we got there was some good chemistry between them.
