Mary Jayne Baker

When Kitty Clayton flees her wedding with no money, no bank card and no phone, her life seems worryingly futureless. All she knows is, she'd rather sleep on the streets than go back home to cheating Ethan. But perhaps she will eventually find her happily ever after?

Briar's Reviews

Yet another wonderful romantic comedy full of British humour by Mary Jayne Baker.

I seriously adore Mary Jayne Baker and her books. I'm British by blood, but Canadian by birth, so hearing the British comedy and trills in my head when I read brings me back. It reminds me of my Dad a lot, which makes me smile. The fact that I can bring my love for reading, romantic comedies and British humour all into one place? Golden.

This is another hit in my books. The story is fast paced, full of beautiful twists and turns, and feels like a great 2000s comedy. The theme of facing hardships and getting past them is also a really nice touch that will make you smile or cry (or both, you never know). Kitty and Jack are quite the pair, and make for a really good couple in this book.

Overall, I highly recommend picking this book up! If you like tv shows like Coronation Street but want more romantic comedy in it, this book is for you.

Four out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Aria for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

I don't really have much to say about this book. I really enjoyed the first half but the second half was just not it. It got a little bit too soap opera-ish for my tastes and it also had one of the tropes that I just find very very annoying in NA books. At the same time, things happened way too fast for my liking that it was difficult to feel the natural chemistry of the two main characters and they both just fell flat for me. In conclusion, I just didn't like this book.

I do not know how I feel about this book. I know I should like it but I was more confused when I finished the book. I just could not understand why Kitty kept running away from her problems. No matter what situation she gets into, she immediately wants to run away asap. It's like she is not prepared for life at all. And she has no urgency in getting her life in order. She is just going with the flow. That makes no sense to me.
