Jessica Wood, Jess, has just had her heart broken. Nine months after she first began dating Charlie and three months after moving in together the relationship is over. On top of this, she is out of a job and homeless. The only comfort she has are her three best friends, Amber, Sean, and Marlowe.
Amber offers Jess her old room back at her flat and Jess decides that she wants to take her life in a different direction, including her career training to be a lawyer, she now wants to be a photographer.
Over the twenty-six chapters, you get to ride along with Jess on her adventure that is life. It’s not all plain sailing, but no matter what is thrown at her she is determined to get over her heartbreak and be the best woman that she can be.
Love and Other Things to Live For was a real mixed bag of a book. The book is told in the first person and from Jessica’s point of view. From the opening chapter – ‘The Curse of a Burning Flame’ I was unsure how I was going to take to Jess. I didn’t quite like her voice and the book starts slowly with an introduction to Jess, her friends and their backstories and what had happened to cause her such heartache.
I’ll admit three chapters in and I put the book down, unsure whether I would pick it up again. However, I’m not one just to give up on a story so early on so I eventually did pick it up. A few more chapters in and something happened. I became involved in Jess’s life. I was interested in how she would grow as a person, how she would learn to cope and move on from her heartache. I was also invested in her friends too.
The book is full of poignant moment, quotes and phrases that might just make you stop and think. It’s not a book dissing love, in fact, I would say it’s a book about embracing it. Love can have a strange effect on people and can be both good and bad for someone.
The book read as a bit of self-help in novel form as you get to witness Jess go through some bad times, alongside plenty of good. What you also witness is a woman who learns that only you can change your life. Only you can take a stand and become the person you want to be. It also helps if you have some amazing friends to stand with you shoulder to shoulder along the way too.
Overall this is a book that shows the world what it is to be a modern day woman and that no matter what people tell you, you can have it all, you just need to know exactly what ‘all’ you want!

This is the debut novel by Louise Leverett and I do have to say I am impressed, it wasn’t exactly my kind of reading but I have to give credit where credit’s due and say that this has a real quality about it that I had not expected.
Going by the blurb, I had unoriginally thought that this would be a fun chic-lit come coming of age story, but it is more more a journey of self discovery and shows just how important true friends can be.
The main character’ Jess is in the midst of a life breakdown, a promising, aspiring photographer she is living in the lights and smoke of London on the outside Jess has it all, but inside she is screaming and a dishevelled crying mess who after having her heart broken she has taken to the path of self destruction as she tries to make sense of her life and find her way to her won happiness.
I will admit that I am in two frames of mind about this, on one hand it is a fascinating look into the life of a twenty-something women living the high life in London, a woman who goes as on a self-destructive journey which ends in self discovery. And one the other hand, I couldn’t relate to Jess or the story, I felt that there was something essential; missing from it. That missing item was relatability, I am a reader that likes to relate in some way to the character’s and if I can’t – like I couldn’t here – then it does ruin the whole story. Which is a shame as, there is a lot of real depth and heart in this.
But, even though the story didn’t quite work for me, it will for many, many other readers out there. It’s not a light read, there is a real heavy feel to it especially as Jess goes on her self-destructive moments. Recommanded for those who like the more edgier, thought-provoking stories.

One wouldn't be wrong for thinking, just purely based on the playful and colourful title and cover, that this is a spirited and funny story about life and love. It is so much more. It's literary fiction, it's a work of great depth even though it purports to glide glibly across the surface of emotions, relationships and the meaning of life.
It's the story of Jessica as she navigates her discovery of self, after the collapse of her romantic relationship throws her into a self-destructive spin. The blurb describes how she searches for him in every smoke filled room, in the bottom of every glass and between every sheet. I don't think she is. I think, without actually realising it, that she is searching for and has always been looking for herself.
Whilst reading the voice of the twentysomething of the 21st century I realise just how lucky I was to have lived my younger years in a time before the digital age. In a time where human connection was the first priority in building relationships, and especially in romantic relationships. Actual face to face interaction, talking, handwritten cards and letters, phone calls on telephones that don't pre-warn you of the presence on the other end. In a way it must sound incredibly intimate, scary and dangerous to younger generations or bold, brassy and old-fashioned.
I'm not sure if I would want to be a young person, or older one for that matter, who has to try and find someone to love in a world of digital devices, apps and images. A world of catfish, photoshopped images and enhanced bios. Is there any truth left at all in a century driven by technology, where the human touch is being slowly eradicated by industrial development and robotics. In an era where the masses thrive off social media and are influenced by false facts and manipulated by monopolised media outlets.
All of that may seem incredibly deep, but then so is this book in my opinion. It's literary fiction, women's fiction and it is contemporary fiction. Jessica is all of us, Jessica could be Jeff and would still be all of us, because her insights and experiences aren't exclusive. At the same time her very personal experience speaks volumes about the struggles women have living in a patriarchal society. Expected to bow down to the whims of others in our career, life, relationships and families.
This story asks readers to take a step back and slowly cover the image of everyone close to them until nothing remains but the person holding these pages and reading the words. Who is it that remains? Who are we living for? The answer must be for ourselves, the rest and the others should always be secondary. Is that selfishness or self-preservation. Either way it's food for thought.

Unusual, full of depth, and with plenty of moments that will get you thinking, LOVE AND OTHER THINGS TO LIVE FOR by Louise Leverett is a unique story that will capture your heart and imagination.
Three months after moving in with Charlie, the man that she loves, Jess finds herself single and back living with her friend Amber in their little flat in London. Heartbroken and completely unsure about what she wants from life and love, Jess throws herself into finding out the answers with some unexpected developments along the way. As Jess starts to figure out herself and her feelings, her best friends are there beside her every step of the way, and they have their own stuff to deal with too. But can Jess move on from Charlie and be happy in her life?
Slow to start, LOVE AND OTHER THINGS TO LIVE FOR by Louise Leverett develops the background of Jess and her friendships really well and I enjoyed getting to know all of these characters personalities and lives. Jess wants to be a photographer which isn't easy, she wants to forget about Charlie which is even harder, and she wants to be happy, whatever that means to her, and in this way this story is almost like a guide for modern women who are trying to figure out their futures in a world which bombards us with telling us what we should have, what we should want.
There are moments of sadness, self-realisation, and friendship in its truest and most brilliant form, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading LOVE AND OTHER THINGS TO LIVE FOR by Louise Leverett. - a literary fiction novel with something for everyone to connect with and I highly recommend it.

Love, and Other Things To Live For by Louise Leverett
🌟 🌟 🌟
The story follows Jessica, an aspiring photographer living in London. She gets her heart broken but she can’t forget him. There is a lot more to the story than that but it would give spoilers.
Overall, this was fine. It was pleasant to listen to while I cleaned my house or just before bed but none of it really wowed me. I liked the characters (mostly) and I liked the fact that the plot didn’t have some huge goal to get to and it was a fairly chilled pace.
I did find the writing a bit difficult at times. It felt as though the author wanted to write these really poetic sentences that just left me a bit confused. Like it tried too hard. Also the romanticising of London was not my thing at all.
Overall, fine. It had a nice ending and wasn’t stressful to listen to.

I read this one in a heartbeat! I was expecting your usual romcom but this was so much more than that. This is a tale about self-discovery and the power of friendship, about making your own choices and live with the consecuences, whatever they might be. The writing is exquisite too. I loved it very much.

This book is different to what I expected and I thoroughly enjoyed it and I hope my review will encourage you to grab yourself a copy! Many thanks to Nina Douglas & HQ Stories for inviting me to take part and read this brilliant book.
When I saw the book cover, the colours jumped at me straight away and I was requesting to take part and read the book, as I just knew I would enjoy it. This story follows the ups and downs of Jess who feels she has reached adulthood and is still lacking directing, throughout we follow her on/off relationship with Charlie whilst she is attempting to carve her own successful career.
I felt that this story highlights how everyone constantly seeks approval from their peers and those they come into contact with on a daily basis, whilst constantly comparing themselves and their achievements. I found this an engrossing read that covers mental health and the constant pressures of today's society.
Jess has a friendship group that she has been part of for many years and they play a huge part in this story as they are a significant part of her life. The impacts and pressures of the current world around us are portrayed well and make you stop and think about the differences between our friendships in our younger years compared to our children's experiences with friendships as the world and pressures around them keep changing.
From the beginning I was routing for Jess to commit to her dream and prove to herself she could do it and that she had nothing to prove to anyone else. A brilliant book that I enjoyed and is so relevant and insightful into today's ever changing society.

This book came to me at exactly the right moment. I found it by chance in a charity shop in Bristol, and at the time I was going through some pretty crazy life changes and coming out of a tough breakup myself. Something about the title and maybe the timing, made it feel like a book I was meant to pick up. From the start, it felt comforting and honest, the kind of story that sits with you rather than demanding too much, which was exactly what I needed.
I really enjoyed how the book explores love in its many forms and doesn’t shy away from how complicated it can be. That said, I did find there was a bit more romance than I expected. Going in, I thought there might be a stronger focus on self-love and personal rebuilding, especially given where I was emotionally when I read it. While those themes are definitely present, they’re often intertwined with romantic relationships rather than standing alone.
Some parts of the story also felt a little unrelatable. For example, the idea of being unemployed while living centrally in London pulled me out of the narrative at times, simply because it felt unrealistic and hard to reconcile with real-life pressures. Moments like that made the story feel slightly removed from everyday experience.
Ultimately, though, I appreciate what the book is trying to say: that love isn’t just one thing, and healing doesn’t happen in neat, isolated ways. Romantic love, self-love, friendship, and loss all overlap, influence one another, and shape who we become.

The protagonist in this book is Jess, a struggling photographer, heartbroken after separation from her boyfriend, she is trying to piece her life together with the help of an amazing group of friends. I really liked Jess's friends, they are very believable but at the same time supportive and amusing personalities. I have mixed opinion about Jess, I liked her character and her determination, but at the same time, her decisions didn’t make sense to me sometimes, especially when it comes to men.
The narrative of this novel sounds quite realistic, and I was engrossed in Jess’s journey and her struggles. I really liked that the plot was not just plodding along, telling the events of Jess’s daily life, but the author threw in some interesting turns and different perspectives to shed more light on all the events happening in the book. It allowed to know more about Jenny’s friends and how they feel in different situations. The topics discussed in this book were love, friendships, hard work, heartbreak, dreams, self-growth, etc.
I really liked the writing style of this novel, it would feel like chick lit story sometimes, but the author incorporated her little analyses of different life topics, that made the whole book richer and more sophisticated. The chapters felt quite long at times, but the story itself didn’t leave me bored. I really liked the ending of this book, it was unexpected but rounded up this story very nicely.
So, to conclude, this was a very refreshing and indulgent book, filled with realistic, believable characters and difficult life choices, perfect for everyone who suffers after a breakup or anyone who struggles to accomplish their goals.

For such a good title and premise, it was poorly written and the plot languished. There are some good ideas here, but overall, they were underdeveloped and I think the book needed to be worked through a bit more before being published. I picked it up because I, like the main character, recently left my corporate career path to pursue creative endeavours, so I thought it would be a fun and encouraging read. But in the end, the characters were unrelatable and the story was cliché without being well-written enough to get away with it.

Reflections and lessons learned:
“All the fibres of my so called life...” “between hunger and hangover...”
Love, career, randomness of friends and life in London, but a yearning for finding things good for the soul and future. I always fancied being a photographer too...I thought that I disliked the end at first but then got it

Pretty read, very flowy and easy characters. Happy that it wasn't typical and didn't end in love being everything.

3.5 stars
This book wasn’t quite what I was expecting from the synopsis. There was slightly more romantic love in it. Now considering that is the largest word on the cover it shouldn’t really have shocked me. I guess as a single woman I was expecting an ode to being on your own and surrounded by good friends.
Instead this book is a much more nuanced look at the many varieties of love - friendship love, romantic love and most importantly self love. It’s about navigating and negotiating life and dreams. And this was what spoke most to me.
Friendship Love
“The collection of people whom you choose to ride the wave with: the truth-tellers, The heart-menders, my people to live for.”
Jess lives with Amber “life is a little less scary knowing she is on my side”.
Sean is “a jester in a cashmere cardigan” and a listening ear.
Marlowe “She is perfect and I am a mess.”
Jess picks up other friends on the way through her story. Sometimes we don’t see her best friends for a while but they are always there when needed and that’s what true friendship is about. We also get to find out about their lives and challenges too and even get some of the story from their points of view.
Romantic Love
“In a sexually charged game of cat and mouse, it can sometimes be hard to know when to stop running.”
Charlie is the man from her recent break up and he remains a presence in Jess’ life even though she meets and dates other men.
Self Love
“For the first time I wanted something that was within me.”
Jess has decided law is not her desired career path and that she wants to be a photographer but that’s not a job you can just walk straight into either.
This story is about working out and following dreams, the trials and tribulations of working in the creative industry, balancing your needs with the needs of a partner and having good friends around to help you put your jigsaws together. It is beautifully written and clever and definitely deserves a re-read with less expectations. Much like life deserves to be experienced rather than planned.
