Alex Sinclair couldn’t jump on a plane fast enough. Broken from an unexpected betrayal, she flees sunny Florida for the Britannia cool of London—home of her favourite TV shows, plays, and fangirl heroes. Alex believes London is where she belongs, where she’ll heal old wounds, and chase her dream of writing for the theatre. Staying with her British friend Harry with barely a year’s rent money in her pocket, the clock is ticking.
But when a wealthy rival fueled by ambition and jealousy threatens her career and a fledgling romance, Alex once again questions her self-worth—and is left wondering if London is where she truly belongs.
Eep! So if you don’t know me, I’m a sucker for anything Britain. I always have been (and now that I’ve done genealogical research, I know why!) So of course I HAD to finally pick up a kindle copy of this when I saw that it was on sale for $1.99!
Jacquelyn gave me an even greater longing to eventually visit London (and try all of their scrumptious treats! – I mean, get it together, America! Only 10% cocoa when the Brits have to have at least 20%? Shame!) From the moment I read the first page, I fell in love with our main character! It’s odd, she’s sort of similar to me minus her being a playwright and actually born in the UK.
The only character I hated with a burning passion was Olivia, (PLEASE don’t bring her back, Jax!) that brunette made inner child me sob because that’s how I had pictured the mean high school girls acting – fortunately my town did not have those kinds of women. Plus Harry deserves a hundred percent better even though he was a pretentious arse to Mark (he was sticking up for Olivia though so I GUESS I can forgive him for being that blind. That woman could probably make a nun swear.)
I’m only three paragraphs into my review but I can already see that my rambly fangirlness is taking over so I will simply leave you all who cared enough to check out my review with this simple message:
Read this wonderful book! You won’t regret it!
Thank you, Jacquelyn for writing such a phenomenal read and I’m sorry it took me a year to finally get my hands on it!
