Book : Love Me Do
Author : Lindsey Kelk
Pub Date : 05 Sep 2023
Thank you NetGalley, Harper 360, HarperCollins, & the author for the opportunity to read and review this book.
Do you need a super cute holiday LA centered insta-love rom-com book in your life? One that gives you the feels—make you laugh out loud, smirk, yell, shout and just fall in love with the plot and characters? This book is for YOU!
I love the characters and how well developed they are. They each have something different and bring something special to the table. I felt like I could related to one or more of the characters. I wanted to live in this story forever! I loved following and watching everything play out and that end was so perfect!!
I will continue to read more books from this author, I love the writing style and they are always just so fun! Absolutely an easy 4 stars and will be telling my book friends about this one!!!!

Audiobook and I just presumed the second half. Funny bits about the California setting & culture clash, but didn’t like the setup enough to continue. If I’d been reading the book would have finished, but audio commitment too great

AWESOME!! Thank you NetGalley and Harper 360, HarperCollins for granting me access to this book in exchange for an honest review.
What a heartwarming, fun and hilarious rom-com that takes place in the amazing city of Los Angeles, California!! It's a friends to lovers romance that is filled with angst, tension, humor, love, chemistry and wonderful secondary characters. The book is so unique and not like your typical rom-com and it will have you smiling, laughing and swooning! I absolutely LOVED this book so much!! Literally, could not put it down and finished it in a day.This is my first read by Lindsey Keik and it will not be my last! The author has done an excellent job with developing characters that are so real and relatable. I can't wait to read more of her books! Another book to add to my favorites for 2023!!🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

I really really enjoyed this book. I really liked the writing style and the storyline. I loved the huge summer vibes & where the story took place. I absolutely adoooored Bel, Suzanne, Myrna & Phoebe (such lovable characters I wanna be friends with all of them!!!) ❤️🥹 Such amazing fun women!!! 🌸
(Myrna was my absolute queeeen!!! What an icon 🤣👌⭐)
Ren on the other hand I just wasn't suuuper into. Like he seemed like a sweet guy and all that but compared to other *book men* he just didn't really get to my heart. I still LIKED him but he just wasn't.... "it"... I don't even know how to describe it haha 🤣🙈
The way Ren acted in the last chapter and whenPhoebe had to decide whether to leave or stay also just felt a little bit "off" and I would have wanted a bit more enthusiasm from his side and a bit more of a "please-phoebe-you-cant-leave" type of situation but whatever. Still a very cute and pretty perfect ending and I am honestly super jealous of Phoebe's new life ahead.
In summary I definitely recommend this book and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it 🌸❤️🌻

Full of humour, this romance story is worth the read! From descriptive settings to romances with all the feels, Love Me Do by Lindsey Kelk delivers. You’ll feel like you’re on vacation with the main character, and without further ado, let’s meet her!
Meet Phoebe. She travels to Los Angeles to visit her sister who lives in the Hollywood Hills. Cue meeting the next-door neighbour, Ren. He’s a carpenter. We also meet Bel, who is a personal trainer and ex-movie star living in the neighbourhood. Let the love triangle and interesting vacation begin!
I really enjoyed Kelk’s character development and the relationship development throughout the story. It really made for an enjoyable read, gave me all the good vibes, and since it was my first read from Kelk, I will be reading more of her work! Add this to your TBR, your Goodreads, and pick up a copy today!

Adorable romance about a girl who sets up her neighvour with her friend. Nothing goes wrong.
A tiny bit torn on this, because the writing is just so good! The characters are so funny and witty and feel vivid. I also appreciated the fun little side-plots that all wrap into one overall. The writing was so engaging and fun, I couldn't put it down! But at the same time, the main plot line was very tropey and a little rush. Overall, I will definitely try more by this author because I thoroughly enjoyed the writing
