Just the Two of Us is the perfect romance with a lot of laugh out loud parts.

Lucy is a character I think a lot of people will relate too shes in her late thirties and her biological clock is ticking and she knows it.

She just seems to have no luck with men even when the perfect man comes along theres something in the way of them being happy.

I really enjoyed this and loved the speed of the book and how much was packed into it.

This is a pleasant enough read about Lucy who, in her mid thirties, is despairing of finding 'the one' as her body clock ticks louder and louder. She has a wonderful family and great friends but longs to settle down and have a baby.
Lucy finds herself fantasising about her boss but as he's married he is strictly off limits, so she happily meets 'a friend of a friend' hoping this will be the relationship she's been waiting for.
Without wishing to give anything away, there is a long and protracted description of donor insemination in this book, which I found to be overly done, with the word 'empowered' appearing repeatedly which was annoying and the end of the novel was too quick and just a bit abrupt.
A good enough novel which would perhaps appeal more to women with fertility problems? That aside, it was well written and had it's lighter moments.

I received an arc via Net Galley in exchange for my honest and unbiased review

A great debut by Georgie Capron. It feels as though this has been written just for me. 'Just the two of us' has had such a profound effect on me and has empowered me to feel able to make some huge decisions.

If you are in a similar situation to the main character, Lucy whereby you are the wrong side of thirty; perpetually single or in and out of rubbish relationships; you feel your life whizzing by where nothing changes from one year to the next whilst your friends are getting married and/or starting their own families and the thought of suddenly being old and the one thing you absolutely know with pure clarity you were put on this earth to be - a Mum - you have never had the chance to be blessed with gives you nightmares then this book will wrench at your heartstrings and fill you with hope.

Thanks to Aria for allowing me to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Just the two of us has a striking cover and it draws you in. The blurb doesn’t give much away but in this story that’s a really good thing as it lets you find it piece by piece what is really going on. We start with a prologue that left me wondering what was going on and then it got me thinking throughout what the outcome would be?

It’s hard to review this book without spoiling it for people. I will say that you will feel warm and cozy at points and then blasted with cold air at other times. I don’t cry at books, but I did well up at a point in this book and had tears roll down my face at another point. I forgot it was a book and got lost in another dimension, of love, and hope. The emotion is real and raw and it feels to me like the author went through something similar as the main character. I look forward to what Georgia has to offer us next

Thanks goes to net galley and the publishers for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Lucy is in her mid thirties and suddenly her life seems to be catching up with her, how much longer has she got before she is unable to have children - all of her friends have settled down and started families is she going to be the perpetual godmother with no children of her own

After another relationship bites the dust she starts to think that maybe she can do it on her own - who needs a man involved - and she is really starting to feel the need to have a child before it is too late!

A lovely story about a topic that is often felt these days - can she make a go of it on her own or is there someone around the corner for her. I will be looking for more books by this author

I really enjoyed this book.
I enjoyed the storyline and liked most of the characters Annie was comical and loved rory.

I really wanted to love this book. I was so ready for a light hearted, cute contemporary... Unfortunately, this wasn't that book. I wasn't expecting it to be an adult book but it feels like one to me. So I had a bit of a hard time adjusting.

The beginning was nice, but about a third of the way through, it began to slide downhill. I thought it was a bit too much of the same in Lucy's life and I couldn't connect to the character. At some parts it was totally predictable... But the last 100 pages were much better and thrilling. I enjoyed the end a lot. It turned out much more emotional and just the perfect ending.

The book is slow-paced, even with all the girl drama, which didn't really help.

I have a love-hate relationship with Lucy. In some ways I do understand her and her situation but I thought it to be overly depressive. I know that she wants a baby and a family desperately, and that shouldn't be much to ask but sometimes life doesn't go as it should. But she was so affected by it that she couldn't see her life as it was.

I really enjoyed seeing her relationship with her family and friends. And I thought she didn't really have much reason to be so depressive. She was terribly insecure and always saw everyone as being better than her. Sure she didn't have her prince charming and a baby... but she tried to rush everything too much and ended up in chaos always.

Other than that...I really enjoyed the writing. I think it was very fluid and simple. And I would recommend this book for more mature readers. I though it was an OK book but not my style at all.

Along with one other book, I couldn't get this book to upload properly, but I appreciate the ARC in exchange for a honest review.

Just the two of us is all about Lucy and her going about life trying to find her other half. It definitely doesn't feel like a debut novel with it's well written story, narration and characters.

The story has a very cosy, comforting feel to it. I thoroughly enjoyed Lucy's journey in life and how she found her happiness in the tall, hunk of Irish handsomeness.

A great book that kept me interested.
Lucy is the wrong side of 30 and has decided she needs to have a baby before it is too late, she is unlucky in love and there's no hope for her to find he man she wants to spend the rest of her life with so she decides to go it alone........
She then meets "the one" he is perfect but would he understand her choice of becoming a mum. But is it too late has one already become two.....
Worth a read.

Curled up with this charming book and devoured in one sitting ..... Singleton Lucy is unlucky in love and although heart broken decides one thing definite in her life is her need/want to have a baby. Single once again after another broken relationship she decides to look at ways of her dream of having a baby becoming a reality ....... Before a she knows it she meets The One falls pregnant and it's then about whose the father !!!! A great read ..... A great story very reminiscent of young woman today .... Highly recommend

In this book you follow along with Lucy as she navigates being single in her thirties. She is watching all of her friends pair off, start families and she is wondering if her turn will ever come along. We watch her fumble through a couple of relationships hoping that they would be successful and she would reach her ultimate goal of becoming a mother. But Lucy continues to find herself single and with her biological clock ticking loudly, she chooses to go through fertility treatments to become pregnant through insemination and do it all alone....but what happens when she then meets the man of her dreams???!!!
This story will make you laugh out loud, feel heartbroken for Lucy and I even found myself a little frustrated with her at times! But hey, nobody's perfect. I enjoyed this story very much and loved going through all the emotions with Lucy!

This is the story of a contemporary young woman that will resonate with many thirty-somethings who believe they deserve to have it all and feel disenfranchised and failing if they don't. Lucy is single at thirty-five, but she has her own home, a job she is good at even if it's not perfect, good friends, and a loving family - but she wants something more which she feels will make her life complete - a baby. Her biological clock is ticking so loudly she's willing to settle for a flawed relationship, but when 'the one' turns out to be committing shy, with Lucy anyway, she decides to go it alone - but life has a better plan for her than that.

In fact there are three plans, or rather men - and it was interesting to see which one would turn out to be Lucy's choice.

The writing is mostly telling, thus inner thoughts and motivations of other characters are described through Lucy's breezy descriptive style tended to gloss over the finer details. For example, I only knew Alex was moody and distant because Lucy said he was, I didn't see this for myself so I was left wondering if there might have been more to it.

Saying that, my desire to see if Lucy got what she wanted in the end - or rather who - kept me swiping the screen.
