Thank you to Netgalley and Harper Collins for sending me a copy of this ARC to review!
Love Me Do follows the story of Phoebe, a Brit who is on holiday in LA to visit her sister. When she arrives she meets Bel, her sister's personal trainer, and Ren, the handsome man next door, and is immediately swept under the arm of them both. Now Bel is head over heels in love with Ren but Ren doesn't know Bel exists. Enter Phoebe the matchmaker who in a few short weeks is determined to connect these two. During this process, she begins to fall in love, not just with LA.
Honestly, I thought this book was just okay and nothing to rave home about. While it was super fast-paced and easy to read, I just couldn't get into it. It was super predictable and while it's marked as a romance, I think only 5% of the book had any romance. I also think Ren as a character could have been written better. Saving grace had to be Myrna, the 82-year-old ex-actress who was very funny and witty. I would have happily read about her story. Otherwise, it was just an okay book.
If you are after an easy, uplifting story this one might be for you.
