Best Mistake Ever by Christy McKellen

  This is a new to me author but I am delighted to feature on the celebrations for the latest novel by Christy McKellen , Best Mistake Ever . It was published by Boldwood on 16th January. Some mistakes are worth making Beatrice Donovan would do anything for her identical twin sister. Including stepping into her hotel management job temporarily and pretending to be her - she’s desperate. What could go wrong? A lot apparently! Because her sister Delilah has hugely understated her role – the hotel is at risk of closure and she’s promised she can turn it around. Now Bea has to find a way to fly under the radar, get the job done before anyone notices their switch up. Sounds easy, all Bea has to do is avoid her temporary new boss Jonah. However, that’s a lot harder than she thought. Not only does he have impossibly high standards, he’s also out of this world gorgeous, an ex-rockstar with a chip on his shoulder and he's watching her like a hawk!

Agony Auntics by Julie Butterfield #Review


Welcome to Books, Life and Everything, Julie Butterfield and your entertaining romcom, Agony Auntics!
 
As an agony aunt, Fliss Carmichael should have all the answers but when her own marriage begins unravelling at the seams, she hasn’t a clue where to start. After a simple mistake causes an unintended role swap, she becomes the one seeking advice from an unlikely source!



My Thoughts

This is a fun, entertaining read, just right for a Summer's afternoon. You actually have two stories running alongside each other. Fliss is an Agony Aunt who has drifted into the role and stuck at it for ten years. You also get to meet one of her correspondents- Ellie, who has fallen hopelessly in love at first sight. As they write back and forth, you learn more about Fliss' life and marriage and just what she is feeling about her life. 

    There are some lovely cameo characters which liven the story up. I loved Freddie's reactions to Fliss' attempts to get her husband to notice her and Ellie's friend, Laura, is a delight. She always says what you want Ellie to say or do.  She has no filter. This is a story with hugely comic moments but also some poignancy. It is a delightful read.

In short: Love conquers all.  


About the Author


Julie Butterfield belongs to the rather large group of 'always wanted to write' authors who finally found the time to sit down and put pen to paper - or rather fingers to keyboard.

She wrote her first book purely for pleasure and was very surprised to discover that so many people enjoyed the story and wanted more, so she decided to carry on writing.
It has to be pointed out that her first novel, 'Did I Mention I Won The Lottery' is a complete work of fiction and she did not, in fact, receive millions in her bank account and forget to mention it to her husband - even though he still asks her every day if she has anything to tell him
