Lovestruck: The most fun rom com of 2023 – get ready for romance with a twist!

Product Information

Becca Calloway is a hopeless romantic. She's also achingly single - and the first person to admit she could use a little help. 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. Deciding to reply or not only takes a second, but it's a decision that will change the course of Becca's future. And her love life is about to take a turn that no one is expecting... 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!

Laura Jane Williams has a magic touch when it comes to writing characters that feel like real people. They don’t shy away from their flaws, they face them and come out stronger in the end. Her heroes are also typically good-hearted guys with more positive than negative traits – perfect for her heroines who have an admirable way of expressing emotion without settling for anything less than love (in all its forms). It’s another shining example where Williams proves why she is one amazing author. I loved Jai Li in particular in this book.It had me totally gripped!' Beth O'Leary'An absolute delight!' Emily Henry'Perceptive, funny and ultimately hopeful - the perfect tonic' Sophie Cousens'I can't remember the last time a book made me forget I had a phone. At first, I didn't quite "get" the different timelines, and got a little confused as to why things are happening twice and at different times, but then I understood how the book was written(pardon me..I can be a bit slow sometimes 😄 🤣)! Williams builds the tension throughout both timelines until it reaches its climax at the end. Throughout both storylines, we get to watch Becca grow as a character, which makes us root for her even more! She has been thrust into a situation that she doesn’t understand but must confront nevertheless; I was so eager for her to make it out unscathed!

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. I can't remember the last time a book made me forget I had a phone. Pure escapist fiction!' Stacey HallsI 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. 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!
