Let Your Heart Be Light by J.R. Lawrie
5.0
Oh wow, if this is what it’s like to be spoon-fed pure sugar and clever banter, I beg the literary gods above for this moment to never end!
Such a charming debut(!) collection containing three short stories and two couples (Zack and Richard, David and Julian). Yes, there’s some of that jolly holiday instalove magic, but before you say nah I’m good and walk away, I implore you to reconsider. This is an absolute gem of a read from the very first paragraph, and with each delightful passage, my heart did grow lighter and lighter just as promised!
I especially adored Zack and Richard’s storyline. Zack, who is indeed mischievous and as “disarmingly adorable” as he claims to be, please never stop being you. I would love nothing more than to follow you on the twitters. And Richard, the sheer power of this man. A well-dressed civil servant with the ability to level everyone with only his presence, PHEW! How very sexy of you, dear sir.
Having not had read the blurb, I was more than pleasantly surprised to see more of these two in the third short story against the backdrop of Farringdon Club snobbery. It was a treasure trove of hilarity and entertaining shenanigans, as well as undeniable proof that Zack and Richard are a power couple!
I feel truly blessed to have come across this book and can only hope we get more of these two couples in some form or another. J.R. Lawrie, I bow down before you and look forward to all your future releases 🙇🏻♀️
TLDR: Utter fluffy perfection! Read the dang book y’all!
