In Case You Missed It: A Review

Thank you to NetGalley for the chance to read Lindsey Kelk's newest release, In Case You Missed It coming out on July 23, 2020.

I love Lindsey Kelk and her writing. I fell in love with her I Heart series, and it is one of the few series, aside from Harry Potter that I have read more than once because I loved it that much. 

When I heard Lindsey was releasing a new book, I was so excited to get my hands on it! This story had all of the humor, charm, and romance that you can expect from her stories and it gave me nostalgic memories of the first time I read I Heart New York. This story is so funny. The banter and sarcasm between the characters makes the book feel so real and the inner thoughts of our main character, Rosalind, makes this book that much more relatable. 

In this story we follow Rosalind, Ros for short, as she returns to England after losing her producing career in Washington D.C. When she returns she is hit with old memories of days in her twenties when her and her closest friends, Lucy, Sumi, & Adrian were hitting the clubs, bars, and going on several adventures. But everything is changed now. Lucy is about to have a baby, Adrian finally fell in love, and Sumi is trying to find a surrogate to have her own baby. Soon Ros wishes she could time travel and go back to the days where they could all be care free. When she sends out a mass group text, accidentally, letting all of her contacts in her phone know that she has returned, her ex and past love Patrick contacts her and asks to get together. Soon they get into a relationship and Rosalind begins to realize that sometimes its better to focus on the future than the past. Oh and don't forget our new character and love interest, John, who is the sweetest little pumpkin you could ever meet and deserves more than Ros is willing to give him (at first).

Ros's parents are also hilarious. First they make her sleep in a shed, yes literally a shed, and then they are acting like sex-crazed teenagers and want to renew their vows. Every scene that featured them was hilarious. 

When Ros was hired to put together a podcast for a teenager gamer, Snazzelchauff, the whole beginning of that was quite entertaining.

This book is light-hearted and makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside. It shows the value of friendship and family and also encourages readers to focus on the future, even when we feel that our best days are behind us, there are many more good things to come if we keep our eyes, and hearts, open. This is the perfect beachy, summer read for fans of light-hearted romances and funny dialogue. 

Overall rating: 4 stars (because Patrick was so unlikeable and I wanted to hit Ros in the face several times when she was falling for his BS again.. he is the ultimate fuck boy.)
