This one was fun quick rom com. I especially laughed out loud in the beginning as our main character Amy seeks revenge on her newly ex BF but this goes completely south and she somehow gets filmed while going viral. She high tails it from NYC to London to start over and not be remembered by viral video. While a lot of parts were fun, I didn’t believe in the very slow burn romance between Amy and Jake. The chemistry just felt off . I just didn’t enjoy it as much as other rom coms because the characters were not as relatable to me. But overall an entertaining read! Thank you Netgalley G.P. Putnam’s sons for a copy of this ARC in exchange for this review.

I’ve read all of Lizzy Dent’s books and they’re all just delightful. In this one, Amy makes some bad choices (jerk boyfriend, for one) and ends up doing something over the top hilarious and embarrassing, then spends years running away from her embarrassment, hiding away by making herself and her life small and a little sad. Then, of course, something happens that changes everything. She meets a new, fabulous guy; but more importantly she has a chance to shine at work again and suddenly we get to see the real Amy and what a powerhouse she is. I loved her story, and I especially loved her family and how they helped her see the funny side in her moment of shame. The parallels between Amy and Jake were well-done,, and it was so sweet to watch them fall in love while working together.
Note: I received an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
