A great cast of characters make up this book - Becca and her two ride or dies - Jia Li and Carlos have the BEST of relationships and I loved the scenes where all three of them were together. Everyone needs friends like them. All the secondary characters were great too, like Betty, Becca’s Mum and Dad, Dave…they really brought the book to life and gave it the warmth that it exuded. Although initially confused about what was happening, once I got into the book I realised that it was operating on a ‘sliding door’s’ narrative arc. Sadly, the eventual outcome seemed so obvious that there was no real question in my mind and the characters were, for the most part, simply too two-dimensional for me to really get onboard with it. I loved the ending and was willing Becca to make the right decision and I even shed a few tears towards the end as I was so invested in her making the right choice. By the end, I felt so invested in every single character as LJW made each of them feel so real. The way they interacted and the things they would say felt realistic and relatable. Firstly, a big thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Random House (Cornerstone) for the ARC and the opportunity to read this fabulous story.
Lovestruck by Laura Jane Williams | Goodreads
She even goes as far as to hold a manifestation ceremony for him – and when she receives a text from her ex five minutes later, she knows it’s a sign. Becca is a hairstylist and salon owner in her mid-thirties, worried that her time will pass. A timely event at the salon includes a session with a woman who encourages manifestations. Also it’s set in Kings Heath and the surrounding areas! Which meant I could picture it so well having grown up not far from there! I love books and films like this where you get to see both of the what ifs play out. I find it really interesting and also quite scary that even the smallest decision can impact the way the rest of your life turns out. But then there’s also fate. Does everything happen for a reason? If it’s meant to be, will it happen anyway? Regardless of what decisions you make. This book definitely inspired some serious existential thinking!! I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Becca is a very relatable main character. She suffers the same awkward, cliché blunders we all do in the dating world – she’s an over thinker which is a very relatable trait.Maybe I’m just not in the right mental headspace for this book as I have just finished a long dark book series. Extra brownie points for being set in my home turf of Birmingham! It's an amazing, vibrant city and it doesn't get as much positive press as it deserves. I will say that the speech patterns in particular were excellent! I could hear these characters voices so clearly!

I absolutely loved this book! It was my first Laura Jane Williams book and it will not be my last. I loved the two timelines, especially the cheeky little crossovers between them. The characters were so well written, it’s one of the very few romcom books where it wasn’t immediately obvious who I was supposed to root for! I thought the characters were great and loved Beccas relationship with Jia-Li and Carlos and found the characters very relatable. She even goes as far as to hold a manifestation ceremony for him - and when she receives a text from her ex five minutes later, she knows it's a sign. Zadie Smith’s On Beauty is my favourite book of all time. I read it when I was twenty years old and trying to find my place in the world, just like the characters are – even the middle-aged ones. It felt like a guide, somehow. There’s a scene where three siblings on the verge of adulthood bump into each other in the street and go for coffee together for the first time, and how she writes about them realising they exist as family outside of their parents’ watchful eye is just… perfection. I re-read it every few years. It’s a signed copy, actually – I saw her speak at Swiss Cottage library and afterwards she told me she liked my shirt. If you’ve seen how well she dresses, you’ll understand my glee at that anecdote. If you are looking for a feel good summer read that doesn’t stretch your imagination too far on the beach, this might well be what you’re after, it sadly just didn’t work for me.If you haven't read a Laura Jane Williams book before - please don't start with this one - her others are so much better! I have given her previous books 5*, and this one just 2*.
