A lovely little romance, easy to listen to.
A classic meet cute, full of humour and fun.
Comforting and warm.

I loved this book, which was no surprise really! Mhairi is a go-to author for me, and had been for a few years now! The characters were loveable and the storyline was just so lovely! The audiobook added that special touch to the story and really immersed me into the book!

This is a great book but would benefit from being marketed as women’s fiction with a romance subplot. The book focuses on heavy topics and might mislead readers with the romcom tag.

Flatshare vibes! For lovers of Beth O’Leary, Abby Jimenez and Emily Henry

Listened to this one on audio. Might re read it on my kindle as I think I sort of lost my way with it and got a little confused. I listen to audio books when I am doing other things so my concentration isn't always on point. I think this book needs more concentration so will be reading it again on my kindle to do it justice.Some very feisty female characters and the wedding scene at the end was quite powerful.

I really enjoyed this audiobook. The story line was well written with an interesting story. The characters were strong and had a good storyline between them. Recommend
The audio aspect was well read and clear and easy to listen to.

Great audiobook, really enjoyed it.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for letting me access this book in exchange for my honest feedback.

Hooked in seconds!!
Loveable, funny, brave, newly single Harriet, the wedding photographer, starts a new chapter of her life and moves into a house share. T aeems fate! Until she unexpectedly discovers he was the awful 'jilter' of a recent wedding she was hired for.
Interestingly all is not quite as we assume! That's life right! Don't we all make too many assumptions!
Very cleverly written by Mhari as always. A fab listen on audiobook brings lots of twist and unpredictable turns. laughter too in abundance and obviously the romance we all want, but this book also explores real, genuine relationship issues and the trials and tribulations I'm sure we can all relate!
Warrning- does contain sensitive subjects that may cause upset.
Very funny though, lots of laugh out loud moments! Really enjoyed and could not stop listening.
Thoroughly recommend !
Fantastic narration by Chloe Massay. Will be looking for more from her. She captured the characters and the story beautifully.
Thanks to Netgally, Harper Collins and Mhari McPharlan for allowing me the privilege to read this great book in exchange for my honest review.

I enjoyed this book. I really loved Harriet as a character, I felt that you could help but to root for her.
I listened to the book on audio and I loved the narrator.
There were a couple of sensitive topics in this book, such as emotional abuse, which I have been through myself and thought was handled really well but also very accurately. I found it quite hard to listen to that part, but it also really moved me.

Another great book from Mhairi McFarlane, particularly enjoyable on audio. Easy to get straight into, I was immediately rooting for Harriet and invested in the storyline. Highly recommend, 5 stars

An easy listen. obvious storyline but still good nonetheless - Narrator was right for the story. I would recommend for a beach listen.

Absolutely loved this book. Adored the characters & brilliant story…I would actually love a sequel to this book.

I listened to this as an audiobook and really enjoyed the overall plotline. We begin with a wedding photographer who does not believe in marriage. We do not know that when we first encounter her, but we get more information on what she is facing with a particularly awkward wedding scenario.
From that point, we move ahead to Harriet and her personal conundrums. She makes her thoughts on anything quite clear, and the narrator does a fantastic job of ensuring we 'feel' the same things as she does at that moment. It is absurd to see the kind of people she faces, but I know from experience that some people behave with impunity solely based on the fact that some behaviour is so over the top that people are caught off guard and can do nothing about it!
The best part of this book was facing the concept of people judging others without the complete facts. Sometimes I feel watching too many movies or even reading books makes us want to do a Miss Marple and identify people with others that we have encountered before. I'm definitely guilty of that more times than I can count. This seemingly light story focuses a lot on that and slips in such serious twists in ways that we see coming but still feel embarrassed at having taken the easy way out to like/dislike a character purely based on the scenes we have seen before us.
The narrative takes turns, moving on to more serious things and giving us a lighter moment or two in between. The final dramatic scenes seemed a little too much so for the tone of the book, but I am sorry to say that I almost thought it would go worse than it actually did.
I think this story would interest people who have had relationships (romantic or otherwise) that seemed toxic on reflection but not during. It is the kind of romantic plotline that can be discussed at various levels. I was so caught up in listening to it that I made up more chores and even went on long walks to finish it. The romance is slow but works well with the whole picture.
I received an ARC thanks to NetGalley and the publishers, but the review is entirely based on my own listening experience.

This is my favourite book of the year so far. I was instantly drawn in and couldn't stop listening.

The book is mainly about Harriet who is a wedding photographer and her relationships, not just romantic but also with her friends. It is very well written and covers some difficult subjects. I don't want to give anything away but Scott seems an unredeemable bad guy.

It is also amusing and realistic. I loved that it was set in Leeds as I am local and could picture the places mentioned.

I liked the narrator, although I thought that the accent was more Lancashire than Yorkshire but maybe the Huddersfield accent sounds like that.

This is not the first book I have listened to by this author and definitely won't be the last.

Thank you to Netgalley and Harper Collins Audio for my copy. I can confirm that this is an honest review.

Wow what a journey this book takes you on , I've never read any of Mhairi books before so I'm very glad I got to read this .


The story starts out with are main character Harriet who is a wedding photographer ,yet she never wants to get married herself I say do what you want with your life , but her boyfriend Jon has other ideas he asks her to marry him at his parents 40th wedding anniversary romantic not !! Jon has known from the beginning that she never wanted to get marred yet mad this very public and well Harriet said yes out of embarrassment , it was short lived thankgod cause he was a bit of a wet blanket in my eyes ,so Harriet has to find somewhere to live ,that when we meet Cal Clarke he has a one bedroom with ensuite to rent and well Harriet life has to start over .


I totally loved Harriet character development she smart , very witty , she has he floors but who doesn't you see her iron out a lot of them , she a woman who all women I think would relate one time or another .


the book its self is brilliant its not your normal romance story I liked that it has its dark side to if you can deal with that , there grief , cheating , control , toxic past relationships , but there also the very funny moments which made me belly laugh . its all very much real life and I think Mhairi hit the nail on the head , its the journey not the happy ending .we are all human after all and she really hits home with that in this book .

if you enjoy a bit of girl power , one sided romance, a few belly chuckles then this is for you .

Romance isn’t my go-to genre but I must tell you that I honestly enjoyed every line of this!

The story is very nice to begin with. It’s basically about relationship treatment and power games.

The characters are so real and relatable and seriously raising a lot of relationship concerns.

The writing is very real and genuine. The pace of the book is so nice and the story feels to flow keeping you constantly hooked in the plot.

If you’re into romance, definitely give this a chance!

I listened to this book while I was doing my gardening, and I loved it! It was a breath of fresh air for me, and I found it uplifting, funny and heartwarming.

The main character is Harriet, who is a wedding photographer. After splitting up with her long term boyfriend, she moves into a new house with some new people, one of them being a man called Cal. Over time, they become very good friends. I really liked both of these characters, especially Harriet, who I grew quite fond of.

The audiobook narrator was great, with a nice voice, and she was perfect for the job.

This is a really lovely book, which I highly recommend.

Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Firstly, I would like to thank the publisher and Netgalley for allowing me to read and review this book as an eARC.

Mad for you is a brilliant women fiction book with a sprinkle of romance. The female lead although sometimes ditsy felt relatable and understood all her actions with her character, I loved the friendship between the females in this book. I think this book gives such great insight into women groups and how they can support you though everything from a very emotionally abusive ex and a relationship that is emotionally unattached. I liked cal in this book and his friends he was very calm and collected and I loved when he came to her rescue but not really because he just held her back which is what I loved in his character. The pacing in this book was beautiful and felt realistic although there was some very funny scenes and comedic in this book.

This is my first audio book i've listen to and one by this author and I absolutely loved it!
I won't lie, it was a bit of a slow burner, but I think that was just because I was getting used to the narrative. Once i had got into the storyline, i couldn’t wait for each new chapter to start.
I really didn't know what I was expecting when I started listening to this book, but I definitely was not prepared for the amount of girl power it had!
I found myself laughing out loud so many times and on verge of tears the next second.
This book had some difficult topics written into the story, i was so proud how they were dealt with,well done Mhairi McFarlane !

I absolutely loved this audio book. The story is moving, emotional, down to earth, funny - just every emotion!! I couldn't stop listening. An amazing read from start to finish.

I went into this book thinking it was going to be another romance with a twist, but let me tell you it was so much more. This book is beautiful story of women coming together and supporting one another, of building yourself back up after an emotionally abusive relationship and a really candid exploration into blame culture. This book really hit home with me and think I McFarlene did a stunning job of narrating Hannah through her past relationship and really highlighted how difficult it is to speak up, or whether or not you should, after living through this kind of abuse. I honestly didn’t want or need anything else.

The audio narration was perfect, the accent was perfectly captured and I loved the whole experience.
