I live in the Northwest of England with my husband and two children.

In between working part time as a childminder, caring for my children and providing taxi duties I somehow find time to write. My ambition was always to write and I'm so happy that I'm finally getting a chance to do that.

I write YA sweet romance, where I get to create my dream man time and time again, and he gets to be different every time. I am lucky to have a real life perfect man at home that doesn't mind sharing me when I'm writing.

I hope you enjoy my books, as the ideas just keep coming there will be many more!

It was a really cute read, but it had a lot of grammatical errors, so sometimes I had to reread it to understand. And some of the sentences didn't make sense. But overall I really enjoyed it. The plot was good, and the characters were all good.

While I liked the portrayal of learning to deal with mental illness, I hated how the conflict was handled

Just from the beginning - that kind of reaction to alcohol? Not being able to taste it? Feels like the author intended to put ghb in that plot line, but either she herself changed her mind or the editor vetoed it as too heavy a topic for teenager fluff. And it doesn't get better
Why is the heroine is taken for blood tests in the morning? By then most toxins would have been gone from her blood
The parents' reaction feels like just a plot device, not something realistic/understandable
And on and on
