**'Rejection has value.It teaches writers when their work or even their skillset is not good enough,it must be made better..The English Language is nobody's special property.It is the property of the imagination..'
Meh!
The minute that i started reading this book nothing connected -- could not get into this story at all - i wanted to DNF. But i will try to write my overall view on this story: I think.
'IN FASHION' feels muffled beneath the fold of this painful and frustratingly carefully constructed book which included a real go getter prose with some serious attitude -- but then this storyline was softened to inconvenience the many off beat dialogues plus not so good writing where it could have been heightened to be such a treat to readers. While it doesn't exactly ruin too much of the book maybe - maybe not - it disappointingly diminishes what could have been a much better one.

This book is just odd. I didn’t hate it, but I didn’t like it either. 3 stars from me equals a book that is average. This is as close as I can get to rating this properly as I am still trying to digest what I just read.
I have wanted to read Jody Klaire for a while now. Her Above and Beyond series is on my soon to read list and looks awesome. I went into reading this with high expectations. Now I’m just more confused than ever. My biggest issue with this book really was the writing style. It’s hard to describe but it really threw me. It’s not exactly choppy, but it sure isn’t smooth. Klaire uses words and word tenses that don’t make any sense to me. Now my own grammar and punctuation is crap, so I am far from an expert. However, I read very quickly, so when I come across words that don’t seem to fit right, it jars me out of the story. I have to stop, back-up and re-read and it kills the flow of the story for me. When I pick up a book, nine times out of ten I read it in one sitting. This book I had to pick up and put down over multiple days. It was very slow going and that just aggravated me. I really hope this stylistic choice is not how Klaire’s other books are as I still wish to read them.
The bones of the story were pretty basic. An ex-model, current fashion star has a hit TV show giving people makeovers. She is in the closet, either a lesbian or bisexual (this was never totally clear to me) because she thinks it will ruin her career. She falls in love with a woman she is making over. Will she come out of the closet for love? The main storyline was fine, but there was a lot I found a little unbelievable. Heck the ending was totally unbelievable, but for the most part the main storyline was okay. The problem was the writing made me feel so disconnected from everything. There were a few parts I even found funny and laughed at, but the way it was written, I wasn’t even sure if I was supposed to be laughing.
I don’t know this one has me stumped. It was not at all what I was expecting and a bit too odd to explain. I can’t personally recommend this, but maybe you will like it. Maybe you will understand the book when I couldn’t. I’m just keeping my fingers crossed I will still like her Above and Beyond series.

What I liked: It was hilarious romance between a style surgeon and pencil security guard. Darcy was like an older version of Blair waldorf. Definitely a bitch but she does it so well, you have to love her. Really good chemistry between Darcy and Kate. Darcy was really mean with her resting bitch face and the way Kate made her laugh all the time was so cute. And OMG the supporting characters was so damn fun.
What I didn't like: Sometimes character's actions didn't make sense to me and the writing could be a little confusing at times The last few chapters were super cheesy. Also I am trying not to think about how if Marshall hadn't outed Darcy, she'd probably be forever in the closet and Kate would've eventually left her.

For me, this was a three and a half star read and it’s a difficult decision whether to round up or round down. Darcy McGregor has fought humble beginnings to become the leader in fashion trends and how to dress for your body type through her immensely popular reality makeover show, the Style Surgeon. But she’s a bitch. A closeted bitch with a teenage daughter who thinks her mother is a fake. Kate is a security guard at a pencil factory in Wales and her mother sends through a request to the show to get Kate a makeover so that she can get and keep a partner.
I’m a huge fan of makeover shows although I prefer the ones revolving around the inanimate like décor, architecture, landscaping and cars. I watch the occasional fashion makeover show but they’re not as appealing because, like Kate, I think of them as fairly shallow and that beauty comes from within rather than from one’s appearance. I really liked Kate as a character; she’s strong, opinionated, fairly relaxed and smart. Darcy was much more complicated to like but also hard to dislike because every time I was about to write her off she’d do something to make her likeable again. The secondary characters are a motley crue whose personalities unfolded page by page, constantly changing my opinions of them. I really enjoyed the whole casts’ relationship with Kate’s little brother, Mikey.
The pace and freneticism fitted in with the reality TV show theme but it made it difficult to follow at times. I wasn’t always sure who was speaking and found I had to go back and re-read for context. Even though it is from the third person point of view I was occasionally confused as to whose eyes I was seeing out of and I’m not sure if it was me missing the clue or if the voices were too similar to discern the difference.
In the end, the story touched me emotionally which is why, in spite of my misgivings about the style of writing, I’m going to round up my rating.

Darcy McGregor is a fashion stylist who hosts a successful UK television programme called 'Style Surgeon' featuring women in need of restyling. Kate Bonvilston is a security guard with little sense of style and a broken heart. When her mother volunteers Kate to feature in the show, Darcy finds in Kate not only a challenging fashion makeover but someone who can get dangerously close to her heart.
This book features the popular romance trope of an ice-queen, in this case in the fashion world, possibly inspired by Devil wears Prada. Written in third person from the point of view of both main characters Darcy and Kate, the story is set in Wales and London. This is the first book I've read by this author and I have to admit that her writing style was for me sometimes hard to follow, I was confused reading some of the dialogues and her sense of humour didn't appeal to me. The use of social media hashtags which is quite central in the book (for example, #embracedesigner), will probably make this book outdated in a few years time.
Darcy is the epitome of an ice queen, a very closeted lesbian with a young daughter and a lot of baggage. Kate is unfashionable but lovable, relaxed and loyal to her family. They say that opposites attract and it should be true for Kate and Darcy but I couldn't feel their chemistry or empathise with their feelings, specially Darcy's choices regarding her sexuality. Unfortunately, I couldn't get into the story, some parts felt close to a melodrama and, for me, it was almost a 'did not finish'.
Overall, an ok read if you are into ice-queens in the fashion world with a bit of melodrama at the side. 3 stars.

I’m not fully convinced of this story. I had some trouble with the writing style, I’m not sure if it’s only because English isn’t my mother language. The writing wasn’t flowing smooth, I had to reread some sentences to understand the meaning.
Darcy, the closeted lesbian, would do nearly anything to hold up her image of the straight fashion icon. She‘s a mother of a teenage daughter, who thinks her mum is just fake. Darcy is the face of the makeover reality television show «The Style Surgeon», and she’s not only a bitch, she’s a big time bitch. She was annoying me so much, that I nearly put down the book. In the end, after knowing more about her, I liked her somewhat, but I didn’t love her.
Kate, the security guard for a pencil factory, is the contrary. She’s loveable, loyal, helpful and a team player. And she loves her little brother Mikey, who after an accident is handicapped. He was the secret star of the book. Her mother sends Kate as a candidate to «The Style Surgeon» makeover show. Because her mother and brother are so excited about it, she can’t refuse, although she thinks the show is just superficial. And that’s what I think too. But sometimes I wonder what they would make of me :-).
The storyline sounded interesting. But for me, there was too much about everything, than about the characters of Darcy and Kate. I wanted to know more about them, especially about Darcy. Why is she such a bitch, and why is she having so much fear about coming out. It is mentioned nearly in the end, but almost only by the way.
The best part of the book was Mikey, Kate’s little brother. He’s an absolute sweetheart, I loved Sproutman. In general, the secondary characters are a great bunch of women, which helped the story very much.
Despite my issues with Darcy and the writing style, I did want to know how the story will unfold.
My rating 3.25 stars.

Cross Trinny and Susannah with Mary Portas and you have the concept of “In Fashion”. Super model and super bitch Darcy McGregor is the TV makeover queen with a complicated past. When her daughter and producer decide to shake her up by picking a gorgeous lesbian security guard for her next patient, everybody but Darcy can see she has met her match. Down to earth Kate dislikes fashion, thinks Darcy is shallow and is uninterested in becoming the latest victim of her attention.
This is a very comical romp with some serious messages. It’s laugh out loud funny, with wonderful characters, amusing dialogue and a literal clash of wills that challenges both women’s assumptions. Underneath the fun we find a sensitive handling of mental disability, a fight against bullying and watch how the media and social media can destroy a person’s life.
Th characters make the book, genuine and very real, warts and all. Darcy’s a woman locked in her own heard headed self-loathing, but a wonderful mother with a brilliant relationship with her typically teenage daughter. Kate’s a totally adorable soul who doesn’t realise how amazing she is. The family and friends form a great ensemble piece, but it will be Mickey, Kate’s wonderful brother, who will steal your heart.
Well written, genuinely witty, empathetic and full of clever human observation this is an excellent read, I literally couldn’t put it down

Superficial. That’s the word that most came to mind when thinking about how to review this book. Any analysis or critique of the superficial fashion industry contained in the story is itself superficial – tinkering at the edges by ‘allowing’ for androgynous fashions, albeit under protest, while never questioning the underlining assumptions that women need to look sexy, attractive and alluring in order to have value in their own eyes, and that of others.
Any social analysis – of poverty, neglect and abuse is also superficial. Mostly they’re used to excuse bad behaviour in those who have experienced them. There’s no real consequences or atonement for that bad behaviour, either. Darcy’s daughter Susannah must be a saint. It’s tough to reconcile the perceived societal attitudes to homosexuality portrayed in the story to 2018 Britain, as well. They felt more like the 1980s.
My biggest problem with the story, however, was the instalove between the two leads. I just didn’t buy it. Before she actually meets her, Kate is dissing Darcy in her internal monologues for being fake and shallow (well, duh!) but almost as soon as she meets Darcy she’s in love, despite not knowing her as a person.
When I read the foreword with its references to hashtag ‘embrace designer’, my heart sank because I feared it was going to be a book about embracing the notion of ‘intelligent design’ aka Creationism. But it isn’t. I’m not totally sure what it’s actually trying to convey, but I think it’s something to do with accepting each individual person as they are. Which I find ironic in a story about giving people makeovers to make them more acceptable to themselves and others. In which the lead character lies to herself and others about her sexuality, hurting those she loves the most in the process. And it’s the same lead character who coins the hashtag. Ironic.
From what I’ve written so far, it seems like I really hated the book – but I didn’t. It was well written enough to keep me turning the pages to the end. It was also entertaining and humorous in a very British, Bertie Wooster-ish way – shallow and superficial in the way of that genre.
If you’re after a book that asks nothing of you and gives you nothing but light-hearted entertainment, this may be the book for you. If you love fashion and makeover shows then you may find the premise of the book interesting. If you like bitchy ice-princess heroines then that would be another plus. For me, however – to put it in terms relatable to this book – it’s like a fashion fad. Enjoyable and entertaining enough for the brief moment it’s in vogue, then discarded and forgotten once it’s over. It’s not a classic that you can reach for and pull on to make you feel good over the years to come.

I could not connect with this book at all.... it was very confusion on what it was actually about and hard to follow... most characters seemed out of place for example Zoe.. at first I thought she is transgender and the dad and then she was a friend and in the end she turned out to be her ex girlfriend?? it was very confusing on how she was the second mother with her daughter not knowing about it... The two main characters had no chemistry between them and were fighting and going from not lying each other to loving each other too quickly and too unexplained. I read the whole book but in the end I was still confused about what I actually read and what it was about.

2.5 stars rounded up. This book starts out rather gruffly, you get a snapshot of Darcy McGregor as she steals a cab, is quite rude to both her daughter and the cabbie driving, and is generally not that likable of a character. We learn more about her and she's a self-proclaimed "bitch," former and current model, and now has a network tv show called Style Surgeon. The show is a month-long event wherein she teaches them how to dress for their body, "attract men," and be confident in their body. Boom, here is Kate Bonvilston. Kate is the antitheses of fashion. She's a security guard in a pencil factory in Wales, whom her stepfather claims "dresses like a bloke." Kate's mother is obviously a fan of Darcy's show, and you can guess how it goes from there. Darcy does eventually become likable, and Kate is hilarious and sassy throughout.
I like that Darcy's daughter is the catalyst for Kate being chosen, and gets more insight into her mother and they finally get close by the end of the book. There are a myriad of characters in this book, and while they're all entertaining, Susanna (Darcy's daughter) and Mikey (Kate's brother) really shine in this. The former being quite cunning and sly and the latter, suffering from a TBI and wonderfully childlike.
The formatting of this fashion show, and this book was a little bizarre to me. I understand that it played a role in plot development (and who doesn't want to get someone down to their knickers before dating them..), but it was a little weird. Part of this is likely from the writing, but also because Darcy goes off script, Kate flustering her at every turn, and ends up changing by the end of it. I really enjoyed the interactions between Kate and Darcy while the beginning of filming was taking place, there was wit and humor and it was wonderfully awkward. I felt that there was a surprise ILY and then everything went haywire. The ending, while pretty unrealistic (though I'm not famous or British so who knows) was entertaining. It came full circle and cleared up the past and lead to a future that we get a glimpse of. I just. I don't really know. This was a very strange read.
This book had a lot of issues. For one, the writing was jumpy. It was unclear who was speaking at any given time (I'll be the first one to say that I really don't like when "said the blonde woman" or "the surgeon said" is used in other books, as it's just weird to me and yeah, using names constantly is boring but I don't really enjoy when their titles or characteristics are used to delineate who is talking at any given moment, but I digress), and even when going back it was hard to suss out what was being said by whom. There were a lot of characters, and while that's not a bad thing, when you can't tell when the mains are talking, it's difficult with anyone but Mikey who has his own way of speaking. I feel like this was a great effort, but I just didn't really enjoy it as it was too confusing, required too much re-reading, and seemed to toe the line of unrealistic too frequently.
If you enjoy makeover shows, a bit of sass, and romances that don't necessarily have to be based in reality, I would give this a read. It wasn't for me, but I'm sure less grammatically inclined people would have an easier time with it.

If you enjoy makeover shows, a bit of sass, and romances that don't necessarily have to be based in reality, I would give this a read. It wasn't for me, but I'm sure less grammatically inclined people would have an easier time with it.

In Fashion by Jody Klaire was a bit of an odd duck. It took me some time to get into the writing style of this author. She throws dialogue, inner musings and observations in one big heap and pours a thick British sauce over it. It’s a bit like Tourets but once you get adjusted to it it’s actually a lot of fun.
I am in a particularly lazy mood this morning and only had one coffee so far, so I’m going to point towards Velvet Lounger’s excellent observations. Where a lot of other reviewers struggled to get it past 3 stars (for various valid reasons), I think my thoughts line up perfectly with VL’s.
I think it was an enjoyable read. There was humor, there was depth and the characters are memorable.

I'm not sure what to say about this book. It just was not for me. The main issue was the writing style and editing. No book is perfect but this one felt off. I found it very jarring to read.
I didn't care for the characters and could not connect with the story.

Great premise and I did enjoy the second half of the book more than the first. I didn't really connect well with the characters unfortunately but I am looking forward to seeing what will come next from Jody Klaire.

Maybe I'm showing my age but I hate the use of hashtags in a book. (I even dislike typing 'hashtag', in my mind it still designates an ordinal number). That aside I have some significant issues with this text, first of all in many places the attribution of dialogue is very poor, which meant I had to go back and re-read passages numerous times and on more than one occasion was left none the wiser as to who had said what. Sticking with the more technical end of things, Kate's younger brother Mikey who has a traumatic brain injury is one of the clunkiest plot devices I read in while, i.e. people who are nice to 'poor Mikey' are good and those who ignore him are baddies (eyeroll of the highest order.) Also some cringe inducing from the mouths of babes moments are fired in for good measure. He could have been so much more. Oh yes we also have a lesfic checklist damaged past and falling in love in a veritable instant. Phew, nearly had the lavender mafia tapping on the door there.
On to more serious (and less Aj is a cranky, picky fucker) complaints; bits of this book are just plain creepy and almost celebrate how the female form is exploited. Darcy "undid her trousers and slid them down. Several members of the crew spluttered out their breath, some wheezed , some groaned. Yes, she did love her high-leg silk underwear." I won't quote them all but there are extensive scenes of the largely male crew's reactions to both Darcy and Kate undressing and the reader is treated to descriptions of their spluttering, wheezing, muttering, "murmuring their obvious agreement" to a cleavage enhancing bra, moans and groans, all of which is seemingly audible to viewers at home! At no stage was there any sense of this being about the women in question, it was all about the male gaze.
On a similar note two of the supporting characters are a married lesbian couple, one a designer one a model. When the model is considering taking a job where she'll be second fiddle to someone less experienced (most likely because the client doesn't want a lesbian front and centre) her wife, yes wife and partner says to her: "You're my wife, honey. If you go taking second light, it looks like my credibility isn't worth the draw." What sort misogynistic bullshit is this? Was I transported into MadMen while I was reading?
I have so many more complaints but I'll leave it at that.
The second star? There is one passage in this book that made me cry with its sheer beauty and emotion. Two former lovers, pried apart because one couldn't handle what coming out of the closet would do to her career finally talk about what happened to them and how they have moved on, or not. It's very well written and damn near broke my heart.

I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
I am not familiar with Jody Klaire's works, and this is not exactly the best first impression.
The story is basically a celebrity and commoner trope, which I do enjoy if it's written well. This one wasn't written well sadly.
The best part of this story is the humor. I find some of the remarks to be sarcastic and witty. I'm a big fan of sarcasm humor, so I enjoyed that.
The flow and rhythm of the writing is very choppy and it was hard to follow the pace of what is happening. I get that filming a reality show should be fast-paced and chaotic, but that doesn't mean the character development should be the same. I had a hard time relating with anyone in this story.
I just think this story need a lot of editing and revision to improve the flow. I do believe this story has a potential to be a great novel, if the flow is improved.

Liked the plot but story or rather how it’s written is a bit confusing at times which makes it frustrating when you have to flip back a few pages just to understand who said what... Having said that, still a pretty good read for me though!
Ice Queen Fashion mogul Darcy McGregor, cold to the world (even her daughter seems to think so) but underneath it all is a compassionate person who won’t let her guard down meets plain Kate Bonvilston. Supporting characters were adorable and book brought to light issues with Bullying which is becoming rampant in this world. Liked the catwalk scene at the end of it and thought of googling it but... hey, it’s all fiction :) #EmbraceDesigner

Klaire is a master at developing chemistry out of antagonism and it worked so well and was a huge part of what hooked me. She also wrote one of the more poignant scenes I’ve read in a very long time between Darcy and her ex, Zoe, which has stuck with me since I finished reading In Fashion.

It has been established that Darcy is a bitch on multiple occasions right from the first sentence of the book.
And she sure made a few terrible decisions out of fear in her past and acts like a shallow asshole most of the time. Even her daughter is stunned speechless when she does something slightly nice or caring.
But I respect that Klaire chose to start her story off with a real asshole character and still managed to make it fun to read about her (after the first impression).
And you can't deny that 1) there's chemistry between Darcy and Kate right away, and 2) it's fun to see a character like Darcy be thrown off and flustered like she is when faced with the resilient Kate (and be teased for it by the people close to her).
But what really drew me in was the backstory of Darcy and Zoë.
Their first talk about their past is a complicated mess, but also raw and emotional and I was kinda living for it.
And it was interesting to have the direct comparison of the dynamics of Darcy/Zoë and Darcy/Kate.
While there were confusing moments in the perspective and the dialogues and I had to both roll my eyes at the stuff that comes out of Darcy's mouth and wanted to shake her for acting stupid here or there, I still enjoyed this book a lot. It's light in some places, fun in others and again angsty in others. Zoë and Susannah are also great characters.
And I loved Kate thinking about finding/reading Darcy fanfiction.

This is the first book by Jody Klaire that I have read, and I really enjoyed it. In a bit of delicious and what must've been intentional irony, this story delves a little deeper than what I expected from a romance based on the superficial world of fashion. I'm definitely going to check out this author's other stories!

The beginning was good, the last part lacked wit and credibility. It’s a pity because could have been great. It’s a 3,5 book

The jury is out on this one. I neither hated it nor did I like it. It was just one of those books that read.
This is my first book by this author. I hope it won't be the last. But for me this was average. But it could have been made better.
Everything just felt disjointed. I was disappointed. But I'm sure someone will like it.
Enjoy!

Okay, so the premise of the book was a fun one, and seemed pretty straight forward. You have a cold, mean fashion icon who has a style series like Queer Eye for the Straight Guy except Darcy is a closeted lesbian with a mouth. She thinks she's got her life in order, but for the hot-but-doesn't-think-she's-hot Kate, a security guard who just like to wear comfy things. They meet, clash, and fall in love.
There really is some interesting things that happen with characters in the book, such as Darcy's reasons for being closeted and Kate's backstory. The side characters are great, especially Susannah, who grounds Darcy in so many ways. However, it is held back by its lack of narrative smoothness. It isn't as bad as some books I've read, but there are some parts of the book where I thought I missed things and had to re-read them. I wish it just was a little better on that, because it did throw off the story for me. Darcy and her friends really, really love calling her a bitch, and there was a point where I wanted to yell, "Yeah, we know!" at the book.
There's also a lot of themes and conflicts that are jammed in here, and I feel like that made the book a little less cohesive as a whole, because of the author's writing style. Darcy's plot line is the most compelling, and I wish we could have delved deeper into what makes her tick than what we actually got.
Over all - there is a good groundwork for the book, I just couldn't like it as much as I wished.

Darcy is the host of a fashion makeover show on TV. She's a self proclaimed bitch. A mother. And she's hurting and hiding. Her life is perfectly controlled as she likes it, she has fame and money, and her image is flawless. Everything changes when she brings Kate on her TV show as her newest challenge for the Fashion Surgeon. Her attraction for this woman has the ability to blow giant holes in her life. Will she finally take a chance on love or will she stick to what she knows?
I adored this book. I loved how it drew you into the story slowly but surely. The reader took the journey along with Darcy as she slowly grew as a person. I hated her with a passion at the beginning. But in some way I suppose Darcy hated herself. Slowly but surely she begins to let people in and find happiness in her life that isn't measured by success, but by family, friends, and love.
My heart broke in a million pieces for Darcy and Zoe and their story. You begin to have true empathy for Darcy and all the torment she's held inside of her. I adored Susannah and Mikey, they were beautiful characters. Kate was breathtaking with her confidence, she's one in a million and should be an inspiration to us all. The chemistry between Kate and Darcy was intense, and really well written.
This was another new author for me. I'm sure it won't be the last book I read by this author.

4.25 stars – This was a quirky thawing the ice queen romance with a delightful ending
Much to my surprise I really enjoyed this book! In Fashion by Jody Klaire is set in London and it’s about rich model turned television celebrity, Darcy McGregor. She has a famous TV show called Style Surgeon that specializes in giving women complete makeovers. She’s so popular that she has millions of fans hanging on her #EmbraceDesigner tweets. Darcy is also a single mother to a 17 yr old daughter. Her daughter hates fashion and design, or perhaps she hates the fact that her mom seems fake when in “style surgeon” mode. In an attempt to make her mom crazy while helping out on the show, Darcy’s daughter conspires to bring in the one “patient” that she thinks her mom will hate. A lesbian. Her mom always acts weird around lesbians.
Enter Kate Bonvilston, a brokenhearted security guard who lives in Wales. Kate’s mother sent in her name for the show so Kate could get spruced up a bit. Kate’s mentally handicapped little brother just wants to see Kate smile again. Darcy agrees with the newest patient and Kate agrees to be on the show, but there are two problems with the entire situation. The first is that Darcy has a potentially career-ending secret that Kate doesn’t know about. The second is that Darcy has no clue that Kate is a lesbian.
I’m just going to lay it out there, Darcy McGregor is a flat out BI…er, WITCH! Total ice queen. A woman that will be cruel just to uphold appearances. But there are redeeming snapshots of Darcy too. There are bits of Darcy’s history sprinkled in as you learn more and more about each character and how they relate to each other. We see her softness and her love for her daughter. I enjoyed the level of interweaving Klaire did with every person’s story. She made connections in places you didn’t expect them.
Despite the fact that I liked both Darcy and Kate, I found them to be a strange couple, and I think that was the point. It was an opposites attract type situation. And the more Darcy “thawed” the more I enjoyed the thought of them together. Of course, the entire premise seemed a bit shallow. I had to wonder more than once if Darcy would have been interested if Kate were not gorgeous. And why DOES Kate like such bossy and overbearing women? Hmm.
Overall, the book was a really good read. When things took a turn for the worse (don’t they always?) it could have all ended in tragedy. But instead Jody Klaire worked a bit of television magic and gave us an ending that was sweet and satisfying.

Outstanding
At first I was thrown off by the blunt body shaming, but all it takes is understanding the character.
I loved the tight circle, things got sticky when the truth came out but that made it all more beautiful.
Outstanding work, indeed.

I really really liked this book. I thought it was quite brilliant in terms of the repartee between the main characters.
It was a slow reveal book in the sense that the ties between all the characters were revealed rather slowly, although one could hazard a guess after awhile.
I loved how Darcy became this nervous bumbling character every time Kate flashed a smile or dressed spectacularly. I did not like the fade to black scenes every time both Kate and Darcy got together - I think some heat could have ben built up if more (rather than less) were said.
I would love to read more of this genre from Jodi Kalire. I enjoyed her paranormal series but I thought this contemporary "reality show" romance was spot on.

Fantastic book with funny, interesting and different characters. Wonderfully written with colourful and clever dialogue. Brilliant younger characters - Mikey and Suzannah - cute and real.
The story flowed well and was smartly paced. The style of writing was also good, with quick remarks occasionally that kept my interest.
A great romance about finding yourself and then being true to yourself. Definitely 5 stars. Brilliant read.

This is a nice light romp. Not to be confused with a documentary! I got confused, really confused with who was who at the start. This may have been because I read it fast or maybe because the voices were not written clearly enough or it could be that this book is like looking at someone in a steamy mirror and it is only as time passes it becomes clearer. I really enjoyed this light piece of nonsense. Like all good light pieces it has a good message at its heart. Good job Ms Klaire and good job YLVA who continue to publish different books. Yay for an unlikable protagonist - till you are shown they are actually jolly likeable. ARC received.
