The Perfect Fit by Mary Jayne Baker

"Why is a panto called a panto? Because it arrr!"
Are you looking to run a pantomime? Need some advice how? Pick up this book. Also, if you need a good laugh... pick up this book!
Words cannot describe how much I loved this book. Even better than the prequel. With a new character being the protagonist (Becky) I was expected to be disappointed (because I loved Lana), but was I proven wrong. This novel has the same great cast and characters from the novel but 100 times the humour. This novel is uplifting and so hilarious I was laughing my way through the pages. That first dress rehearsal scene and Deano who is pretty much at the end of his tether during the whole directing process come to mind. The relationship between Becky and Marcus I saw coming from their first few interactions, what with how different Cole and Becky are. There are so many British puns and slang it could go over some people's heads.
In no way would you feel at a disadvantage if you haven't read the first book. Even though this book is a sequel it would make a great standalone as the references to the prequel's plot are minimal and main characters are quickly and efficiently described as a refresher. I enjoyed the realism in this book: Cameron and Tom's relationship together and with their lovely adopted daughter Pip was beautiful, in contrast with Stewart and Lana who are going through the adoption process.
I wholeheartedly recommend this book if you want to be swept away with a tightly-knit community of colourful characters and never-ending laughter.
