This is another great read from Maxine Morrey. Living Your Best Life was published by Boldwood Books on March 8th.
Some days Bee feels invisible. Most days Bee does not feel
as if she is ‘living her best life’.
Sure she has a loyal group of friends, a job she’s good at,
and a small London flat to call home, but a lot of the time, Bee feels as if no
one actually ‘sees’ her.
Her best friend, the unfeasibly handsome and successful Luca
Donato does not have that problem. People are practically falling over
themselves whenever they see Luca, but one thing the two friends do have in
common, is they haven’t yet found the ‘One’.
When their friend Tia challenges them to change all that through online
dating, Luca and Bee set about the task with very different levels of
enthusiasm.
The saying goes that you have to kiss a lot of frogs to find
your prince, and it’s not long before Bee is ready to admit defeat. But with
Luca inundated with potential love interests, Bee is determined not to give up.
Surely her perfect partner is out there somewhere…
‘Read yourself happy’ with Maxine Morrey’s latest
heart-warming, feelgood, page-turning romance, guaranteed to make you smile.
Perfect for fans of Lauren Weisberger and Sophie Kinsella.
My Thoughts
In Living Your Best Life, Maxine Morrey has created a great cast of characters, who populate the world she has made. Bee is so likeable and relatable. As she looks at the model girl friends who Luca chooses, you can relate to her slightly cynical but also vulnerable take on the dating game. Her childhood has been scarred by the indifference of her self - centred parents. She has a tight group of friends who seem to understand her but no one understands her a swell as Luca, whose family have given her some security and family feeling.
This is a great romcom and romance. Luca is a gorgeous central male character and even better, seemingly unaware of this. There is humour to be had from some of Bee's disastrous dates and you can see where most of them are headed, even if she cannot. Bee's lack of self-esteem has kept her in her comfort zone and held her back in all areas of her life. It is great as the story develops to see her begin to step out of this and to take a risk.
In short: Can they find 'TheOne'?
