Make it up to you by Lucy Keeling #Review


I am happy to be featuring Lucy Keeling's romcom, Make it up to you, which was the runner-up in the Search for a Star competition, run by the publishers, Choc-Lit.

What do mascara wands and gardening shears have in common?

Absolutely nothing! At least thatā€™s what wannabe beauty influencer Sophie Timney thinks when her friend Polly suggests involving her brother Marcus in Sophieā€™s make-up tutorials. She needs more views, Marcus needs promotion for his gardening business ā€“ in Pollyā€™s mind joining forces will help them both. Sophie isnā€™t so sure.

Because Marcus Bowman has a habit of getting under her skin in a way that no exfoliating face scrub ever could. But, as the views and comments on her videos begin creeping up, it becomes increasingly obvious that Sophieā€™s subscribers like Marcus, and whatā€™s even worse is that Sophie might be starting to feel the same way ā€¦


My Thoughts

This contemporary romance is a great mix of humour and romance and features a likeable group of friends who could easily feature in a series. You feel that you get to know them in this novel but there are also plenty of hints that some of them may have their own stories to tell. Just where does Mia work and is there another romance bubbling below the surface?  

    Sophie and Marcus are the focus of this debut novel which has a contemporary feel with plenty of emphasis on social media. Sophie is so driven by her work and it is interesting to see how different characters regard her job as a social media influencer. Some see it as a hobby. Others can recognise that she puts a huge effort into it and it is obvious that she is a capable and focussed person. 
 
If you enjoy a feelgood read with convincing characterisation and some witty dialogue, you will enjoy this book.

In short: An engaging romcom with a contemporary feel.
