Last year, It Started with a Kiss was
one of my favourite books so I was thrilled to receive a copy of
Miranda Dickinson's latest book 'When I Fall in Love' to review.
Elsie Maynard has suffered a terrible
tragedy and is just beginning to put her life back together. She is
working at 'Sundaes and Cher' a local ice cream parlour in Brighton
when an unexpeced event leads her to meet ex-rockstar Woody Jensen.
Elsie is such a great heroine, she is
witty, kind and a very strong person. I actually liked all of the
characters and felt that Dickinson drew them all into the plot very
well. I loved the descriptions of Brighton and Paris; the beauty and
vibrancy of these cities is really brought to life in the novel.
This is a wonderful, heart warming
novel packed full of moments that will have you laughing out loud.
Have your tissues on hand though as there are a few tear jerking
moments too. The cover is beautiful too!
I think this is my favourite book by
Miranda Dickinson so far – highliy recommended.
Launch event for When I Fall in Love
I am a huge fan of Miranda Dickinson
and was super excited to be invited along to her launch event for
'When I Fall in Love' last month. The event was for competition
winners and was held at the Parlour restaurant at Fortnum and Mason.
It was great to meet Miranda and the competition winners and chat
about books, we were each given a signed copy of her latest book. It
was fitting that the event was held at the ice cream parlour as this
is one of the main settings in the novel. The ice cream on the day
were delicious and enormous – you can see a picture of mine below.
Thank you to Becke at Avon for inviting
me along to such a fantastic day!
Sounds like a book I'd enjoy! What a wonderful setting for a launch event :)
