You've Got This! by Maxine Morrey #Review #PublicationDay

 

This is another great romcom from Maxine Morrey. You've Got This! is published today by Boldwood Books on May 9th.

 
To find true love, first you have to truly love yourself…

Fleur French does not have the best of luck when it comes to life and love, and her current boyfriend Jasper is yet another person who only seems to like Fleur when she moulds herself into his idea of the perfect partner. So, when she finds herself single, jobless and homeless, Fleur has to decide if she’s ready to finally be herself – if only she knew who that was.

Matt Morgan saw things he’ll never forget when he was deployed in the military, but now back home in Wales, the recuperative powers of the stunning countryside are working their magic.  And when Fleur takes a job at his mother’s hotel, Matt senses she could benefit from that same magic – if only Fleur realised it too.

It’s hard to be yourself, when you’ve never felt you quite fitted in. But with new days come new opportunities, and as Fleur begins to flourish and find out who she really is, her luck in love might be about to change too.


 My Thoughts

Fleur has a complicated background and in many ways, this book is the story of her beginning to find out what sort of person she really is. She has always agreed with people in order for them to like her and to accept her. The acceptance she finds amongst Matt’s family gives her the confidence to actually speak her mind. 

    Set near Snowdon in North Wales, the environment is almost another character. It offers a healing facial to people and is somewhere that has helped Matt overcome his issues following his military service. This is an enjoyable read with some lively characters not all of whom are particularly likeable. There is plenty to see about family, both the blood ties and the sort you choose for yourself. 

In short: home is where the heart is
