A Hilarious and Heartening Take on the Pitfalls of Modern Dating.
As the clock strikes midnight over a disastrous New Year's Eve and happy couples celebrate all around her, Kate makes a resolution, hastily scrawled on the back of a napkin, that next New Year's Eve she will have found someone of her own to kiss.
But when you're a forty-something cat-mom who'd rather binge Netflix than brave the singles scene, finding someone to kiss turns out to be harder than it sounds. Kate is totally unprepared for navigating hook-up apps, speed-dating, and sliding into somebody's DMs.
With the end of the year rapidly approaching, Kate seems further than ever from reaching her goal. As relationships crumble around her and dark long-kept secrets spill out, could Kate's fixation on her quest cause her to let true love slip through her fingers forever?
Someone to Kiss is a wry and witty romantic comedy, tackling serious issues with real heart. The perfect new read for fans of Beth O'Leary, Jennifer Weiner and JoJo Moyes.
I did enjoy this one. A story about Kate but with Ben and Julie’s tale thrown in too. I guessed right off the bat how it would end but as I always say it is the adventure we and the characters go on, and it was certainly that!
These are 3 characters you can easily get on board with. Kate with her insecurities, her gorgeous best friend Julie, and Julie’s quiet brother Ben. The story of Kate and her drunken bet with herself at a wedding, to find someone to kiss at midnight the following New Year’s Eve. Gosh, the online dating world is harsh and I hope I never have to find out about it!! I did find myself shaking my head at Kate and getting annoyed with her. I did love the acceptance and forgiveness of herself throughout her journey, especially during the crazy golf scene. Then my annoyance disappeared when she got a backbone and stood up for herself and I loved the author’s twists with a pivotal moment in an office -loved it!
It was easy to lose a couple of hours reading this as Jamie’s writing style is easy to enjoy. It certainly wasn’t a hardship reading this and I loved losing myself in the story. It is a story that is true for so many people and just so relatable in many ways. I look forward to what Jamie does next!
Until the next adventure xxx
