Product Information

I found myself turning the pages faster with each delightful revelation, a smile spreading deeper across my face. Then Phoebe meets an old time movie star Myrna after delivering some mail to her that was accidentally delivered to their house and they strike up an unexpected friendship because Myrna is a formidable figure and decided it was to be. Phoebe keeps her emotions close and guarded but she is a fixer and loves to help others and hear their sagas.

Her decision to leave her abusive ex and embark on a summer adventure becomes a catalyst for positive change, allowing her to find strength within herself and redefine her own worth. She hopes to have a fun time and forget about the fact that while she’s away her ex will be getting married but as soon as she arrives, her sister has to leave town for work so Phoebe’s plans soon get changed as she is facing being in LA by herself.

I feel there could have a little more to tie it all together (I also wished Ren fought a little more for at the end, personally). Born and raised in South Yorkshire, Lindsey lived in Nottingham, London and New York before settling in LA, where she lives with her husband and two very rude cats.

Caught up with writing love letters and an unexpected friendship with a reclusive 82-year-old film star, Phoebe finds herself falling for the real Los Angeles – but is that all she’s falling for?It's no secret that Lindsey Kelk is one of my absolute favourite authors, so when I got an early copy of Love Me Do (out in July) I was DELIGHTED! The story was funny and heartwarming but also didn't shy away from darker subject matters like emotionally abusive relationships and grief. I loved watching Phoebe grow as she realized it is OK to advocate for herself and that sharing with others does not make you weak. The Beatles' song kept playing in my head as background music during my reading of this sweet and heartfelt retelling of Cyrano DeBergerac with a gender-reverse twist, reminiscent of a heartwarming holiday movie.

The book is full of love and heart and not just in the romantic sense, I particularly loved scenes with Phoebe and Myrna, the reclusive former film star.She has her flaws and she has a past btu she has come to LA for a break from her life and it was great sharing her adventure. I managed to read this book over two days, which as a mother of three, rarely happens but I just absolutely loved this story and wanted to spend as much time with the characters as possible.
