Ask Me Anything

by Bethany Rutter

A gorgeously sassy campus-set romcom, where problem pages and parties turn enemies to lovers

As Mary-Elizabeth starts her second year at university in London, she has set her sights on Felix Balfour, the charming, very sexy and outwardly feminist editor of the university magazine. This is where she writes Ask M-E Anything - a column full of perky, optimistic advice for the lovelorn. As for her own love-life, she only wants a little no-strings fling with Felix, and of course she'll be able to pull that off. Fun times ahead!

Meanwhile, annoying grump Laurie from the uni newspaper (the university's more highbrow and serious publication) just seems to be a thorn in her side. After mocking her at a Quad Media mixer party, he seems to be continuing to mock her from the newspaper's own problem page - an idea they've stolen from the magazine and made much less fun. Mary-Elizabeth is sure the newspaper's brutal responses to the same problems she's tackling could only be penned by Laurie.

Mary-Elizabeth is certainly prejudiced against proud-seeming Laurie. But when Mary-Elizabeth loses her way, and the fun times with Felix start to sour, Laurie is always there to pick her up, and not asking for anything in return ... But surely Laurie isn't the answer to her problems?

I have enjoyed other books by the author and Ask Me Anything certainly didn't disappoint. This was such a cute and fun read. I couldn't put it down and read it in one sitting. The story was easy to follow and cute and had a great cast of characters. Plus the pacing was just right. I highly recommend it and I look forward to reading more by the author.
💓 Thank you to Netgalley, the author, Bethany Rutter and Hot Key Books for my arc ebook copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Absolutely lovely stuff as always! Beautifully written and explores some brilliant themes - the uni setting is perfect and the storytelling is a lot of fun :)))

Light hearted but with a big heart and a bit of a bite,

What a treat this is. Reminds me a little of Holly Bourne (all the places I’ve cried), but more sparkle, and definitely more joy
