Writer's picture: bobsandbooksbobsandbooks

It is my pleasure to be on the blog tour for this lovely read.



Detangling the Plot:

When life goes off track sometimes the only thing you can do is go back to where it all began...

​Emmy Palmer is the star of Bragadon Forest, the biggest fantasy series on TV; adored by the public, living the life of glamour and luxury in London.

But when scandal strikes, Emmy must escape the city and return to her seaside hometown to lie low and wait for the storm to pass.

​Emmy's agent decides it would be a good look to star in the community Christmas pantomime, but who else could be playing her leading man but her ex-boyfriend who she may or may not have ditched to move to London a decade ago... As the show approaches, love and friendships blossom and the real question is - Will they? Won't they?


Bobs and Books honest review:

When I was first offered this tour I could not believe the initial similarities. Emmy? Check. From a seaside town? Check. Starred in a Christmas Panto? Check. However, when I contacted Portia to find out the ex's name out of sheer paranoia, thankfully that's where the similarities ended. It's fair to say as well that the startling first few moments in the chapter are something that is also definitely not relatable. I don't think I've read a start quite like it where I am startled as to what's happening, until its obvious and I felt very silly indeed. There are some seriously laugh out loud funny moments with Emmy's sister/aunty and some awkward dating moments that were utterly brilliant. The supporting characters that make up Emmy's friends/the panto cast are also humorous, charismatic, and entertaining.

This does have its soft side too, a shock bereavement for Emmy at the start changes her perspective on things, as well as her potentially career ending #metoo esque moment in the TV world that she just cant face confiding in anyone. Sweet, adorable, warm.
