I am excited to be a tour host for this fabulous tour.
Having a date with the plot: 52 weeks. 52 dates. 52 chances to find love. Serena Mills should be at her wedding. Instead, she’s eating an ice cream sundae and drinking an obscenely large glass of wine in a Harvester off the M25. Everyone thinks she’s gone mad. She’s jilted the man everyone told her she was ‘so lucky’ to find. But Serena wants to find love. A love she deserves – not one she should just feel grateful for. So, she escapes to the big city and sets herself a challenge: 52 weeks. 52 dates. 52 chances to find love. It should be easy, right?
Bobs and Books honest review:
Well, this starts in utter chaos and is so much fun. From the very first pages I was giggling away and this didn't stop throughout.
This features some dazzling female characters, YES to plus size characters who embrace their look and are strong independent women, and yes to those who need a little persuasion to have the confidence to do this.
As someone who is too scared to try dating again, this did not alleviate my fears, but was absolutely joyous to read.
The odd dating scenes are hilarious. I think listening to my friends, we all know these types of nightmare dates.
Relatable, amusing and full of loving life.
About the author:
Bethany Rutter is a writer, podcaster and plus-sized influencer. Her adult debut, Welcome To Your Life, came to life through conversations with her friends over drinks in London. Swapping stories of toe-curling online dates, workplace harassment, new crushes, fashion discoveries and workout classes, she wanted to write a heroine who turns her life upside-down just ahead of her thirtieth birthday and is plunged into the wonderful chaos of contemporary urban life. In her words: ‘My heroine Serena Mills makes huge decisions. She wants things for herself, she has Big Feelings, she desires people and is desired in return. And... she's fat. Of course, so much about her story has little or nothing to do with her body, and I hope Welcome To Your Life resonates with you, whatever your body looks like and whatever you feel towards it. This is just one story that I wanted to tell, where a fat girl gets to be the protagonist of her own story, rather than a silly footnote in someone else's Welcome To Your Life is dedicated to ‘anyone who’s ever held themselves back’ and encourages us all to shake off our insecurities and wholeheartedly embrace everything that life has to offer.
