The book was good but predictable at times! Enjoyed the easy read with lovely characters. Light hearted and good read for all

So it took me a while to get into this book, I would maybe call it a slow burner. However, once I got into it I just couldn’t put it down! I absolutely love Ros! I’m so glad she saw her self worth! It is a book that teaches you about the value of self worth too! I really loved John and was cheering for him from the beginning!

I’m a huge fan of Lindsey kelks writing and this one didn’t disappoint.
Snarky insecure main character -check
Blooming romance that’s never simple -check
Lots of funny over the top moments that are typical Kelk -check
I loved this book! Read in one sitting. Definitely recommend 💕

Lindsey Kelk you smashed it yet again!!! I absolutely adore all your books and this one is no different. Yet again I fell in love with all the characters and if I had a complaint it would only be that the book ended - I want to read more about Ros and her friends.

Ros returns from three years abroad working in America. With no job she is forced to move back in with her parents, who it would appear have rediscovered themselves and their love for one another. As she catches up with her besties, Sumi, Lucy and Adrian she finds out how life has moved on in her absence. They no longer want to hang out in the comfy old pub that was their go to place when they shared a flat but now go to this swanky new bar - a place that Ros doesn’t immediately gel with and gets off on the wrong foot with the owner, John.

A group text sent out to all her contacts with her new number has massive connotations. The main one being that it reconnects her with the man who broke her heart before she moved to America.

This book is hilarious and Lindsey Kelk just tells it how it is - no holds barred. All of which makes for a fantastic read. There are more than a few cringey moments which just make it all the better.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced read copy of this book in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

A humorous, light-hearted, feelgood read which I enjoyed. An enjoyable read for a summers day! I would recommend it,

Returning back to the UK three years after leaving for her dream job in Washington DC. Everyone has moved on and Roz just wants everything to be the same as the day she left. The twists and turns of four friends and family members as Roz comes to the understanding that looking backwards means you miss the here and now and can miss chances for the future. Lindsey Kelk at her best.

Hilarious wonderful read!! Classic Lindsey Kelk at her best.
One of the funniest books I have read for a while! Loved it!
Ros comes home after working in America for 3 years, but life is not how she left it....her friends and family have moved on, she is jobless and living in her parent's garden shed!!
New opportunities open up from her old contacts on her new phone........how will she adapt with......
This book was quite unexpected with where it takes you, it is laugh out loud funny, with great characters and scenarios.
Highly recommended!!

Lindsey Kelk never fails! I feel like I’ve said this about a lot of different authors lately but all my faves seem to be stepping their game up! Lindsey’s books always make me giggle and the characters are always engaging. I absolutely loved the character of John and the supporting cast of Ros’ friends were all absolutely fab. I wish I could read a new book of Lindsey’s every month lol! Keep it up Kelk! Thank you to Netgalley, HarperCollins and the author for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

A lovely easy summer read, I'm on furlough from work and reading like a demon in this funny old world we are living in at the minute, this book is perfect for taking your mind off things, some really lovely charecters and a really great story, loved every minute of it, a perfect garden read

This is the first book I read by Lindsey Kelk and definitely not the last! It's an entertaining and well-written story, perfect to escape real life for a few hours. Ros is such a relatable and lovable character, insecure, starting a new life back home after a few years abroad and trying to hold on to the past while everyone else has moved on.
I loved all the characters, every one of them was well developed and I would love to spend an evening with them all (well, except Patrick obviously). Veronica and Sumi were my absolute favourites :-)

Thank you to the publisher who provided me with an e-copy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was a rare beast; a chick lit with quality, well drawn characters, wit and a little pathos that was just enough to make me think and question what I'd do, if I'd want to go back and recreate that time that I think I loved.

Funnily enough I've read a gazillion second chance romance stories where the couple do get back in touch after being wrenched apart, they work to overcome whatever deeply held hostility/misunderstanding had got in between them and discover they were destined to be together after all so it made a really refreshing change to experience a totally different take on that trope. Just trying to recreate a perfect night out by doing it all again has never gone that well for me so I get it. I have to say this story kind of resonated with me - "memory believes before knowing remembers" as William Faulkener put it.

This wasn't just about Ros's love life though, I absolutely nloved her relationship with her friends and her family too. It was warm and uplifting to read and just genuinely funny, I had such a good time escaping into this book, I struggled to put it down.

I haven't read this author before but I enjoyed this one so much I'm going in search of more by her. A fab , undemanding and warm read. Recommended.I

**Thanks to the publishers via netgalley for my arc.**

A brilliant, fun, lighthearted book that is perfect for lockdown reading! Ros is a really likeable character and I thoroughly enjoyed reading about her life and loves. I’d definitely recommend

I absolutely loved this book. There were heart warming moments and laugh out loud moments too. I have loved all of Lindsey Kelk’s other books I have read and this one did not disappoint me at all. Highly recommended.

Thanks to @harpercollinsuk and @netgalley for this ARC!!

Ros returns to London after spending three years in the US producing a radio show. She is slapped back to reality having to live in her parents shed in the garden, because they're 'rediscovering love' in retirement,cringe!😅 Coupled with this, she accidentally texted her ex boyfriend back into her life, and all of her friends are now 'proper' adults, Ros is feeling a little disconcerted. How will she start to reintegrate and, most importantly, why is she spilling her life out to John, the lovely owner of her friend's favourite bar? Life is complicated..... or is it🤨

4⭐- Frilly, flirty and fun, this book is a great summer read! There's laugh out loud moments, cringy moments and fuzzy moments that meld together to create a funny read. If you like Marian Keyes type books, then get this when it's out!

I love the I Heart series so was really excited to read something else by this author. And, I was pleased to find that this was actually very similar – a fun, light-hearted comedy with an overarching romantic theme.

Main character Ros was another slightly chaotic but incredibly likeable, smart and funny lead – typical of this author. Whilst she frustrated me at times for letting boyfriend Patrick treat her so badly, I could totally relate to her feelings of self-doubt regarding her professional talent and career, blaming herself for life’s inevitabilities such as redundancy.

Ros was ably supported by a wonderful cast of secondary characters – in the form of friends Adrian, Lucy and Sumi as well as adorable love interest John and straight-talking colleague Veronica. The dynamics between the four friends was so true to life and best summed up by Lucy who when asked by Ros if she should hook up with Patrick again said “We both know you would have called Sumi if you wanted someone to tell you not.”

There were lots of laughs from Ros’ parents moving her into the garden shed to surprising her boyfriend (and his important colleague) dressed as tiger. But, my particular favourite was her fourteen-year-old celebrity client Snazzlechuff refusing to go on stage unless she agreed to a date, only to then announce her as his girlfriend to the packed out crowd and world’s gaming press.

Being of a similar age to Ros, I also loved the moments of childhood nostalgia such as roller discos and Judy Bloom reference.

I’ve given this a solid 4 stars because whilst I really enjoyed it, it didn’t quite live up the I Heart series for me – which is probably unfair on this but I can’t help comparing the two.

In Case You Missed It is sure to brighten any reader's day. This was an hilarious & heart-warming tale with relatable characters. I loved Ros and I'm sure countless other readers will too!

In Case you Missed it by Lindsey Kelk has a thoroughly enjoyable, if a bit frustrating and predictable storyline. That doesn’t diminish its appeal. I loved getting to know Ros and her friends. Obviously her blind fixation on Patrick is the frustrating part but he does seem to be genuine in wanting to get back together .....doesn’t he? Let’s add a new brooding man to the mix and take it from there..... light hearted romance which is very enjoyable

Relatable and nostalgic read, stayed up half the night to finish it!
I would love to have the friends Ros has, always there for one another and ready to party, her sisters a bit annoying though!
We all have that one person who got away, whether a good thing or not!
Would you try to reconnect? Or should the past be left in the past?
I loved the adventure and mishaps Ros gets herself into from falling over, hanging on a fence or failing abysmally in front of an audience, all adds up to a riveting read with a satisfying ending.

Firstly thank you to @harpercollinsuk and @netgalley for the review copy of this book. In Case You Missed It is @LindseyKelk’s next stand-alone novel, out at the end of July.

Where to start! Lindsey is one of my absolute go to authors. I’ve read all of her books and just like those books, I absolutely love, love, LOVED this.

Our main character is Ros. After living and working in Washington DC she finds herself abruptly uprooting her life and ending up living back at her parents (albeit not in the house), back at whatever the square before square one is and staring down the barrels of hiding the truth from everyone. A mis-text gets Ros back in touch with an old flame and nostalgia for how things used to be takes over.

Ros is a great character to read about. She’s real, down to earth and you can completely imagine being with her along the way. Lindsey writes with a great sarcasm and dry wit and I love how this comes out in her characters. Ros restarts her career and although it turns out to be completely different to how she imagined she battles on with a grim determination. I loved the portrayal of our sometimes ridiculous modern world and it’s place in the story.

The cast of secondary characters comprise of Ros’s friends; Suki, Adrian and Lucy; their new friend John and Ros’s ex Patrick. I loved all of the old and new friends but loathed Patrick in the same vein as Suki. I loved the support network that Ros had, especially her budding new relationship with John.

Packed with rollerskating, inappropriately dressed mothers and more than a few mishaps this is definitely the book you should reach for this summer. If you haven’t read any of Lindsey’s books before now is absolutely your chance!

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for an early review copy.

What a book!

Ros is a genuinely likable character, so we’re her friends Sumi, Lucy and even Adrian.

Her parents are I found fabulously bonkers with their antics and not to mention the shed, amongst others.

Fantastic adventures, some hilarious mishaps and lots of drama to keep you intrigued and invested and make up a fabulous book by Lindsey.
