Wish You Weren't Here by Portia Macintosh #Review

  I am delighted to feature a laugh outloud romcom by Portia Macintosh . Wish You Weren't Here was published on January 8th by Boldwood Books .   Don’t get mad, get Ethan! Lana has had enough. Her ‘perfect’ sister is getting married. In Australia. On Lana’s 30th birthday and no one seems to have noticed. To make matters worse, she’s been given a list of rules she must follow so she doesn’t upstage the bride. Well, rules are meant to be bent right? She’s found a killer dress, now she just needs the most inappropriate wedding date she can find. But where to start? All her attempts at online dating are simply disasters, and not in the right way! Too boring/married/easily intimidated! But then her drop dead gorgeous ex Ethan suddenly reappears in her life. With the power to make her dizzy with excitement she reminds herself why they broke up. Together they literally attracted chaos until their relationship imploded. They couldn’t make it work. But could Lana make this work ...

We were on a Break by Jo Lovett #Review #PublicationDay,

 

Happy Publication Day to Jo Lovett for her latest romcom, We Were On A Break.

 
A summer to remember...

A love to last a lifetime...

But understanding what happened in the past and coming to terms with the present isn't easy. Can the gift of time - and forced proximity – bring them back together again?

A gorgeous romantic comedy set against the beautiful sights of Italy and France, perfect for fans of Beth O’Leary and Mhairi McFarlane

Stranded in Rome, with all planes grounded due to volcanic ash, Callum gratefully accepts a lift back to London with a friend-of-a-friend who's on her way home after a European road trip in a campervan.

But when he meets her, his heart plummets - she's Emma, his ex, The ex, and he can't be stuck in a van with her.

When Emma sees Callum again, she's horrified. It's taken so many years to heal her heart - she really doesn't want to spend the next few days in close quarters with him.

As they embark on the drive of a lifetime, it begins to feel as though fate might have had a hand in reuniting them,


 My Thoughts

This is an entertaining road trip story which takes you along as Callum and Emma become reacquainted. They both have unresolved feelings from their relationship but try very hard at first, to cover them up. The dialogue between the two is so amusing and gives you an insight into their relationship. They know each other so well, despite not having seen each other for tears and they still share a shorthand.

    You follow the story through the eyes of both Callum and Emma and although there are some surprises, it does mean that you keep up with what they are thinking. Both of them have developed since they parted  but being together also brings back all the old feelings.  This is an ideal holiday read. You will find yourself rooting for both of them and understand both points of view. 

zin short: Second chances and taking a risk
