The Love Hack is the latest romcom by Sophie Ranald. It was published on June 7th by Storm Publishing.
She’s a rookie advice columnist. He’s her office crush. It’s
about to get complicated…
Landing a new job as online agony uncle “Ask Adam” Lucy
dishes out relationship tips to men. But when it comes to her own love life,
she’d rather spend Friday nights curled up on her sofa with Netflix and her
cat, Astro.
That is, until she meets Ross, her new co-worker who makes
her snort with laughter at his silly jokes and sets off butterflies in her
stomach when his hazel eyes meet hers over his laptop.
After her last work boyfriend broke her heart, Lucy swore
she’d never fall for someone in the office again. And she’s just about to have
two more good reasons not to.
1. An email
has just landed in the “Ask Adam” inbox and Lucy is convinced it’s from Ross.
2. He’s most
definitely not single.
As her advice column goes viral and her inbox overflows with
problems, Lucy turns to her AI assistant for help decoding romantic troubles,
including her own. Can her state-of-the-art cupid really help her navigate her
feelings for Ross? Or will the truth behind “Ask Adam” turn her non-existent
love life into a hot mess?
A totally heart-warming, feel-good, and relatable romantic
comedy that will have you laughing and crying as you race through the pages. If
you love Sophie Kinsella, Emily Henry and Beth O’Leary, you’ll instantly fall
for The Love Hack.
My Thoughts
In this light hearted read, you follow Lucy as she tries to get to grips with her new job as an agony aunt for men. After a disastrous relationship she has closed herself off from the idea of romance and men in general. All this slowly changes. There sre many humorous parts to the story and a varied cast of characters, both the men she works with and her sister’s friends.
Lucy is very close to her sister who is opposite her in personality. Confident and outgoing she gives Lucy advice on how to answer some of the men’s problems until she can’t do it any longer. In desperation, Lucy turns to an AI bot. You also find out why Lucy is a closed book to men. Loyal and kind, Lucy is a likeable main character. This is a fast paced story which is an ideal weekend read to cheer yourself up.
In short: humour and romance
