How not to keep your job! Daisy can't live without her phone and social media groups, and everything she does is immediately logged on facebook, twitter or Tinder or all three. Then she tweets a message about work which should have been private and loses her job. Her sister books her on a 'digital detox', taking her away for a week. This actually means her sister puts Daisy's phone down a well, whilst hoping Daisy will help her do up an old building. There is no phone signal at the building, but there is up on the hill. A really good read, very true to life. Shows how Daisy starts to adapt to life without social media at her fingertips, and how it affects her when she goes back home, and how it starts a new career for her, running 'digital detox' classes. Very true to life, might make a lot of people think about how much they use social media instead of partaking in real life. Made me laugh, cry and laugh again.

It's nothing groundbreaking but it's a fun easy cliched read. I would be open to reading more by the author if in the mood for something similar.

Thanks to NetGalley, Bonnier Zaffre and Anna Bell for my ARC in exchange for a review.

Fantastic lighthearted and laugh out loud book. I really loved it.

If your looking for a light hearted read that makes you laugh from the offset then look no further.
A fantastically written book about Daisy and how her life is turned upside down by an innocent tweet!
This is guaranteed to make you laugh whilst at the back of your mind you acknowledge how genius the storyline of this book is. I really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it to others :)

I absolutely loved this witty book full of laugh out loud moments. Daisy sends a sexy tweet about her tinder date from her work's account and is instantly fired. Her sister Rosie takes her on a digital detox to a rundown farmhouse in Cumbria. Initially she's lost without her phone but throws herself into helping Rosie do up the farmhouse with the help of gorgeous French Exchange student Alexis. The neighbour next door, Jack is her knight in shining armour who keeps on rescuing her. Their friendship evolves around writing letters to each other and dropping them in the neighbouring mailbox. Can she really head back to London and her life there after finding herself in the countryside? A brilliant, brilliant read.

It Started With A Tweet was simply adorable! Daisy is addicted to social media and it ends up landing her in some trouble with her job so her sister comes to whisk her away on a "digital detox". Which isn't exactly as it seems, but what follows is a delight. I loved the characters, the beautiful descriptions of scenery, and pretty much everything about the story. It Started With A Tweet is chick-lit at its best and I look forward to reading more from this author.

This book is hilariously funny, a modern take on love, romance and the trouble you can get into using social media. I loved this book and laughed from start to finish I couldn't put it down. Daisy is a character most of us can relate to she wants a successful job and someone to spend her life with but with the added bonus of today's biggest problem, an addiction to social media. How do you meet someone when your eyes are glued to a screen? A digital detox of course! Something I think most of us could do with. I loved Daisy's detox out in the country especially the little notes passed between her and Jack. I found myself belly laughing throughout this book with all the shenanigans Daisy got up to and I really hope Ann Bell writes a second book to it started with a tweet. If you are a fan of Bridget Jones's Diary and The secret dreamworld of a shopaholic then you will love this book.

This was a fun story. I liked the main character and her relationship with her sister. I think the start is very funny and I liked the 'digital detox' storyline. I did get a bit confused about the timeframe as the letters between Jack and Daisy sometimes pass between them intimating at a greater length of period without seeing each other but then the story tells you that only a week has passed since she came to Upper Gables. Otherwise, a very readable novel!

brilliant read thoroughly enjoyed it. got chicklit, comedy,love,romance , everyday upsets & problems

Every now and then you come across a book that you just cannot stop reading. It Started With a Tweet is one of those.

The book jumps right into Daisy's life and at first it might be a bit hard to adore her, because she's so caught up in the online world. She tries too hard to stay up-to-date and it costs her dearly. The moment she arrives at the digital detox with her sister, she's starting to change.

I laughed and I chuckled while reading this book. Anna Bell has a fantastic way of writing and her writing voice is just really captivating. What more would you want? I'd categorize this book as a chick lit/romantic comedy novel and would recommend it to anyone looking for an interesting, funny read filled with surprising plot twists and love. Now I'm off to go check out the author's other novels, because with a writing voice like that, there's no doubt they'll be just as good as this one.

Big thanks to the publisher for letting me read an ARC (this gesture didn't influence my opinion whatsoever, should you be wonderingà.

There by the grace of god go I! We've all had that moment when we think we have sent an email to the wrong person but sending a tweet from the wrong account is on a whole new level.

The book follows Daisy as she deals with the fall out of the wrong key press. It helps her reconnect with her family and makes her realise that no-one has the life it seems they have but you have to look a bit deeper than social media to see this.

One for the digital generation!

To be honest the beginning of this book made me wonder if I should stick with it at all. Daisy is very unlikable in the first few chapters but I'm glad I stuck this one out.

This book is very Bridget Jones with updated technology. Imagine if Bridget had twitter in book 1! Good lord. I can't say I was able to relate to Daisy's addiction to technology and the way she and her friends behaved with their phones was horrendous.

After making a huge mistake at work and getting herself fired Daisy finds herself on a digital detox feeling like a limb has been removed as her phone is locked away by older sister Rosie. What follows is a nice story of Daisy finding herself and her place in the world without the help of Google or Twitter or any social media to share it on. Daisy is forced to meet people in person and not be able to look them up on Facebook or LinkedIn and she learns to trust her own instincts in the process.

In the end I really ended up liking this book quite a bit and found it a very enjoyable read.

The story is a modern one involving Daisy's obsession with arranging not only her work but her whole life on her phone via tweets, Instagrams and even arranging her dates on Tinder. Her life goes badly wrong when one of her messages gets into the wrong hands. Her sister Rosie's solution is to involve Daisy in helping her renovate a remote cottage but she makes her give up her phone so that she can't constantly check what people are saying. Put the French help Alexis and the bad tempered neighbour Jack into the mix and there follows some very funny laugh out loud moments, especially when Daisy has to be rescued on several occasions.

The modern storyline was excellent and I did enjoy the book especially the funny situations Daisy found herself in. However I did find parts a bit boring, which is why i have only given four stars.

I loved this book. Not only was it a great story, but it also highlights one of the issues with modern life - an over reliance on technology and FOMO! It made me think about how much time I spend online and on my phone.
The story is about Daisy, who accidently tweets something from her company twitter account instead of her personal one and gets sacked in the process. She is then whisked away by her sister to deppest Cumbria for a digital detox. The story is not just about how she copes without moden communication technology but also rebuilds her relationship with her sister and learns how to interact with her friends without her phone.

Oh Gosh!
So at first I was slightly annoyed with how much Dasiy tweeted and updated her social media account.
But, I could understand it because it's the norm.

This book pulled me in and I could not put it down.

I loved how you did not always know what was going to happen next. I liked how you had to keep reading to find out what happens next. A lot of books you know the ending right of the bat, but with this one. There was always such a openness that you never really know who would win her heart in the end or if she would figure it all out. I really liked how it was just not only about Daisy, but how the booked showed her sister, her friends and all the developments with the people around her.

It was a very enjoyable book and I can not wait to read more from this author!

Daisy Robson lives her life online - she can't eat a meal, drink a cocktail or go on a date without documenting it somewhere. Basically, if it isn't plastered all over Twitter, Instagram or Facebook, it hasn't happened. But Daisy comes a cropper when she accidentally sends a highly inappropriate tweet from her company's account. Daisy and her company are suddenly famous for all the wrong reasons, and retribution is swift. Unexpectedly jobless, Daisy takes up her sister's suggestion of a "digital detox" in the countryside, but it's not quite what she expected... her phone being thrown down a well is only the start...

I've never read anything by Anna Bell before - she's been compared to Sophie Kinsella, and based on this novel I can definitely see why, as the tone is quite similar. There are even some initial similarities here with Kinsella's recent My Not-So-Perfect Life, but I soon forgot about that as I got drawn into the story of Daisy's adventures in rural Cumbria.

I'll admit I wasn't sure at the outset. The book opens on a hen night which sounds like my idea of hell, and I'm not sure I could have taken a whole book like that. However things look up with the move to the country and while there are no big surprises it is a very fun read. I particularly enjoyed the letters (newly phoneless Daisy has to resort to old-fashioned methods of communication!). There's a fairly important point being made too about how our social media obsession impinges on the ability to fully experience life.

All in all I really enjoyed this as a light escapist read, and would definitely consider reading more from Anna Bell.

It Started With a Tweet follows Daisy, a marketing manager who spends most of her time on social media. From tweeting to instagram to tinder, Daisy is obsessed with social media until she posts an inappropriate tweet from her work account instead of her personal account and loses her job.

Daisy’s sister Rosie decides she needs a digital detox. Daisy thinks they are going to a luxurious spa but when they end up on a rundown farm in Cumbria that her sister plans on renovating she's not too pleased. Furthermore, when Rosie purposely drops both their phones down a well, Daisy is far from impressed.

This is an interesting premise especially in today’s world where everything is posted online. As Daisy is going to have to live without social media for a while. she begins to help Rosie with the renovation of the farm. Rosie also meets Alexis, a sexy French guy who has come to help with the renovation and hunky Jack who lives next door and has to keep rescuing Daisy when she gets herself into trouble.

It Started With a Tweet is hugely enjoyable, both Daisy and Rosie are realistic characters who have not spent much time together but the detox changes what they thought their relationship was. It also reminds Daisy that there are other ways that people communicate, like speaking to each other and writing letters. A thoroughly entertaining fast paced book which will leave you wanting more from this author.

Going into this book, my expectations were fairly high and it is safe to say I was not disappointed.

As a fan of Anna Bell's previous novel 'The Bucket List to Mend a Broken Heart' simply seeing her name had me immediately interested in this book. I find Anna Bell's style of writing enthralling and, well, just down right relatable.

Once again, Anna Bell demonstrates her skill of engaging with her audience - with social media being a hot topic for today's society, it was immediately easy to connect with the protagonist Daisy and her insatiable appetite for her phone.

After a disastrous date and an unfortunate mishap that sees a NSFW (but totally hilarious) tweet being posted from her company's twitter account rather than her personal, Daisy finds herself alone, without a home, without a job and even worse, going viral - AKA, up the creek without a paddle. Fortunately Daisy's sister comes to her rescue with the idea of a 'digital detox' and though not entirely sold on the idea, Daisy throws caution to the wind and our journey begins.

I found myself connecting with Daisy's obsession, her need to stay up to date with social media outlets, such as facebook, twitter, instagram - and whilst at first I thought that maybe Daisy was coming across as rather dramatic and the constant references to her lack of phone were slightly irritating, I quickly realised just how relatable Daisy's plight was as I became unduly self aware of how often I was picking up my own phone - this of course made me fall in love with Daisy that bit more as I felt truly connected to her.

Of course, in typical (and fabulous) chick-lit style, we meet Jack. Daisy's knight in shining armour (sort of). It is immediately obvious that Jack is going to be playing a pivotal role in this story and despite his tough exterior and grumpy appearance, he instantly becomes a fan favourite. The growing relationship between Jack and Daisy is simply charming and the exchange of letters (in replacement of texts, which of course I found utterly adorable) between the two completely warms your heart and within no time you find yourself routing for the pair and looking forward to their exchanges.

Naturally, romance is never that straightforward and there are a few bumps in the uneven and muddy road - including the surprising and difficult task of renovating a crumbling old farm, a sexy Frenchman that may not be all that he seems, a sister who needs her more than Daisy ever realised and zero access to the internet to scratch that uncontrollable itch. Whilst contending with project management, dodging flirtatious remarks from Alexis and trying to help put her sisters marriage back together, it seems that Daisy has her work cut out for her.

I devoured this book over the course of 2 evenings, I was completely enamoured and found the book was - as I like to say - 'unputdownable'. Easily relatable characters and a charming and laugh-out-loud story line that sees you routing for all of the characters involved.

Once again I have been left with a delightful taste in my mouth for Anna Bell and would highly recommend her work to anybody who has a soft spot for belly laughter and romance. It definitely hits the spot and leaves you grinning from ear to ear.

I thought the premise of this book - about a woman obsessed with social media - was very relevant in today's society. On the whole I liked it, although when I first started reading it, I wasn't so keen and I thought about giving up. I didn't feel I could though as I was sent this e-book for free in exchange for an honest review. I'm glad I didn't give up, because once I got past the hen do, the office bit, and the 'date', the story really picked up. I found Daisy annoying at the beginning to be honest - tweeting about everything - but when she went on her digital detox I warmed to her. I thought the journey of self-discovery she went on was well-written and believable. I liked the romantic elements to the story. Daisy's sister, Rosie, was also a good character. I liked the way the author included old-fashioned letter writing as part of the digital detox - a nice touch. I don't think the book is as hilarious as the blurb describes, but it is humorous in parts, although I think some of the things Daisy does are too silly. Would you really go hill walking in pink suede footwear for example? It is a good read all in all. If you are at all put off by the beginning, keep going, it will be worth it.

Thoroughly enjoyed this fast paced and breezy, romantic comedy. This is the first time I've read anything by this author and it outclasses many I've read in this genre purely because it is intelligently written and the writing style is so accessible.
As with many books in this genre the ending is predictable but if you are a fan of this genre then that's not going to be a problem.
The characters were well thought out and very well rounded. Even the supporting cast jumped off the page. Great use of dialogue and descriptive language. For the most part I was with the writer as she described scenery and it was very easy to follow the feelings and motives of our leading lady. Leading man - didn't like him very much. Personally I felt he lacked backbone but I don't have to date him!
I will certainly seek out more titles by this author. I found her entertaining and I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a light yet thoughtful book.
