I am delighted to be on the tour for Portia Macintosh's latest romcom, Just Date and See. It was published by Boldwood Books on 24th September.Billie is looking forward to a quiet, man-free Christmas. It’s just a shame her family doesn't feel the same way…
With a house full of unexpected (and unwanted) guests, Billie needs to find the perfect escape to get away from the chaos.
So
when her dating app recommends a week of singles nights in her area,
Billie decides that braving these events has to be better than making
conversation with her dad’s new wife, dealing with her mum's mid-life
crisis or witnessing her sister flirting with her insufferably arrogant
next-door neighbour.
While this is definitely not
the festive season she had planned, between disco bowling and boozy
bingo, little does Billie know that she may find love this year after
all - she'll just have to date and see...
Fall in love with the perfect laugh-out-loud festive read from top 10 bestseller Portia MacIntosh
My Thoughts
I loved this story. It is so full of wit and humour and the central character of Billie is thoroughly likeable. I enjoyed the tension between Billie's ideal quiet Christmas and the Christmas she actually ended up with. Her family are hilarious, in fact all the characters add to the humour. Billie's one liners are genuinely funny.
Billie decides to disappear from her house for some evenings by filling her nights with trips out with the Jingle All the Way dating app. Of course, this is a great vehicle for more humour but also for some budding romance. I was surprised by one of the revelations near the end. I certainly had not guessed what was coming. With some lovely festive touches and some hilarious interactions, this is a great Christmas read.
In short: festive fun and games
