I love Miranda Dickinson and she did not disappoint with this novel. The two main characters, Archie and Esther, were the sweetest people who deserved so much happiness. A slow burning love story that will warm your heart. So enjoyable.

This is a cute read with two main characters and a will they wont they plot. This is another great book from Miranda Dickinson, she never fails to give a good story and very well written. Giving this 4 stars.

Thanks to Netgalley and publisher for this ARC

A pleasant engaging read. The two main characters were very likeable and therefore made the story more entertaining. It was a definite will they won't they storyline which made me quite frustrated with some of their choices particularly in the second half of the book but overall an agreeable read.

“All My Love” is a heartwarming tale of love, friendships and family. It has a perfect meet cute, encouraging intergenerational friendships, music, cake, a gruff but caring brother in law, scary but loving sister, lazy boss and a confidante in the shape of a cleaning cart called Fred!

Each chapter is told from the point of view of Esther or Archie. Both have been unlucky in love loving from afar and not having the courage to speak up. Archie is a wordsmith but only on paper. When Esther accidentally reads the beginning of a love letter Archie has tossed aside with no clue how to continue, her heart is warmed by the sentiments & raw emotion she can feel just reading a couple of lines. When she meets Archie and connects him with the letter she offers to help him complete it and send it. From that moment a firm friendship begins. As they research the perfect love story by asking friends, relatives and even strangers for their stories both their hearts and mine as a reader were filled with joy.

Initially, I have to admit, I found the love lorn twosome a bit immature, reminiscent of early teenage years of daydreaming & yearning for love. It felt as though they were teenagers who just needed a good chat with a sensible adult mentor. However, it didn’t take long for me to warm to their dilemmas, enjoy reading about their gorgeous friendship realise they were just heartbroken & confused adults who did have sensible friends to talk to, each other! As I read on I found myself very invested in the love story, the will they won’t they, should they, shouldn’t they situations.

It really is a joyful book to read. Love fills the pages.

A charming and engaging romantic comedy about a young journalist with a crush on a colleague and the night-time cleaner who attempts to play Cupid only to fall in love with him herself. The storyline knows where it want to take the reader and does so expertly, with self-awareness and humour. Written with a sense of fun and plenty of warmth and as heart-lifting as any romantic comedy is entitled to be.

With thanks to NetGalley, the author and publisher for an opportunity to read and review.

This is the second book I have read by Miranda Dickinson and I think I enjoyed this one even more. The main characters are both likeable (quite rare!) and the predicaments they find themselves in have a ring of truth to them. I enjoyed the different settings that made up the important pieces of the novel and the side characters (in the restaurant and the band in particular) were great supporting characters. An enjoyable, fun read.

A fantastic read. Two people with issues . Met through sticky notes while office cleaning. Both loved people who were unavailable . It was told through the two main characters Archie and Esther., One chapter hers and one his. There was also Archie’s career and Esther careers that were also a main part of the story. It was well written and I loved it.

It's a sweet and heartwarming story. Two people who met, their dream and how they seem to be unable to realize that their special one is in front of them.
Lovely characters, good storytelling.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this arc, all opinions are mine

Very interesting read, I loved the characters and the plot, It had me guessing what would happen next. A great read.

Such a lovely read, this book really grabbed me. Starting over and hitting the bottom but finding something to hold on to and give you confidence and support and ultimately love was beautifully told. An up and down ride with some excellent poetic moments as well as cringey and sad ones, I loved this book.

What a glorious book from Miranda Dickinson. Full of warmth and cheerfulness, just what is needed at this time of year.

Another lovely read from Miranda Dickinson. ‘All My Love’ is how you sometimes end a letter to a loved one, don’t you think? That’s what Archie and Esther are trying to do. Just write the perfect love letter. Both are family-orientated, however irritating they might sometimes be. They both know that their families will always be there for them, no matter what.

I couldn’t put this book down. I just wanted to keep turning the pages to find out what was in store for our main characters. They are so lovely, each with their own quirks and each equally intent on trying to do the right thing. I particularly wanted to listen to the Old Guys play their ‘rescued’ musical instruments, no matter how bad it sounded!

Very much a ‘will they/won’t they’ romance. It’ll warm the very cockles of your heart as you experience the ups and downs of love and heartache with both Archie and Esther.

Thank you to NetGalley and HQ for the opportunity to read and review an ARC of All My Love by Miranda Dickinson.

This was another brilliant book by Miranda Dickinson.
I love how her last 3 books (including this one) have centered around writing and all 3 have approached it in a different way which I have found really interesting.

One thing that has amused me with this book is that it very briefly mentions the summer football transfer window and this book is being published 2 days after the January football transfer window closes. Thankfully my team wasn't mentioned, I'm not sure I could handle the stress of reading about my team being involved in a transfer, all be it a fictional one and watching my team deal with a transfer in the real world.

I'm not sure I can sum up what the book is about better than Miranda Dickinson herself has at the end of the book so I'll let her words tell you: This book is a story about following your heart, making the most of whatever life throws at you and believing that better things are possible. Hope is a powerful weapon and love is our greatest ally.

The only reason I'm giving this book 4 stars is because in my opinion it isn't as good as her previous book, The Start of Something, don't get me wrong, it's still a fantastic book but I think The Start of Something will always have a special place in my heart.

As soon as I read the synopsis for All My Love I knew I had to read it and the fact that it was written by Miranda Dickinson was an added plus. I have yet to read a book of hers I didn't love. Her writing just draws you in and has you wanting more! ⁣

Esther and Archie are amazing characters who you cannot help but love! I loved how accepting they were of each other and I enjoyed watching their friendship blossom. ⁣

This book had an amazing case of side characters, my favourites being The Old Guys music group! ⁣

All My Love is a heart-warming and light-hearted romance that I recommend picking up!

Archie works as an assistant but has a dream to become a top reporter. Esther is currently living with her sister and takes the job as a cleaner at the newspaper to earn some extra money. But when the two meet and start a friendship, this may just develop into something more.
This is such a cute story, told from the points of view of the two main characters. We as the reader know that the two main characters are meant to be together, and want to scream and shout at them to just get together, but these characters need to get there in their own time and Dickinson gives us characters we can relate to and enjoy seeing their friendship grow.

This was such an uplifting and heartwarming novel, I can’t get enough of this author and look forward to reading them again.

All the hallmarks of a "meet, fall for each other, refuse to discuss it and get with someone else" love story Archie and Ester are both lovely characters that will have you rooting for them from the outset.
What is refreshing is that although the "other" woman and man in contention for relationships are definitely flawed of character they are not portrayed from the outset as bad people who are just there to ruin the blossoming (and unacknowledged) romance. Instead they are real people, scared of their feelings, scared of being alone, prepared to do what it takes to get ahead, prepared to step on or over others to achieve their end goal.
Meanwhile Archie and Ester cultivate a beautiful friendship, with the initial goal of completing a love letter and forgetting an old flame but ultimately bringing each out of their shells and setting them on the path to greater things due to the support and encouragement they give each other.
You will root for them from the get go!

All My Love by Miranda Dickinson is the most charming contemporary novel that I never wanted to end.
The tone is wonderfully light-hearted and fun, with much amusing banter.
The book celebrates life and love and friendship. We all need those people around us who believe in us. Too often the world knocks us down and our voices shrink and dry up – but with love and encouragement from others, our voices will turn the volume up once more. Voices are heard again because “They believed in me.” We all need people who believe in us.
Within the story there are those who tear down and belittle others. And there are those who know the value of people. A character has been broken in the past and believes she has no self-worth but “you are important… Don’t ever think you aren’t.” We all need people who will build us up.
Job satisfaction will never be found in bank notes. Our value is not in the amount of money we earn. Some of the happiest people work hard, doing their dream jobs behind the scenes. Often the most important people doing the most important jobs are actually grafting away behind the scenes, invisible to the world – but if they didn’t do their jobs, we would soon notice.
All the characters were well drawn, warm and welcoming. The Quin and Hughes family welcomed me into the story, making me feel included and loved.
Miranda Dickinson writes the novel from two alternating points of view and in the first person. The result is that the reader feels part of the action.
I absolutely adored All My Love. I never wanted it to end. I will leave you with my favourite words:
“Always and forever. No matter what.”
I received a free copy from the publishers. A favourable review was not required. All opinions are my own.

I’m a huge fan of Miranda Dickinson’s writing. With a beautiful slow build romance, great characters and an imaginative setting, All My Love has all the components needed for a brilliant story.
Archie and Esther were two characters easy to fall for, and I was willing them to find the right moment and person for their future happiness.
Their friendship was real, warm and supportive after only a short time and I loved their opening communications.

A cute story. It's not the most memorable, quite predictable and a little bit repetitive at times but Archie and Esther's likeability do make it a nice read. There were times I wanted to scream in frustration at the two however but Esther's sense of humour made up for it (a cleaning trolley called Fred, brilliant). Overall, I'm glad I read it but wouldn't pick it up again.

What a fantastic read!!!
Miranda Dickinson never fails to deliver with her unusual yet uplifting cosy reads.
Absolutely loved this wonderful story as it drew me in from the start & I just couldn’t put it down.
Her stories are always that little bit different with engaging characters & an interesting heartwarming fun plot.
Esther is having a hard time in her life right now & is temporarily living with her sister & family. She is helping with chores & child care for free board, but decides to take a job as an office cleaner at a newspaper to earn money to get her life on track again.
Archie works for the newspaper & is currently general dogs body for the editor.
His ambition is to become a top reporter, but aside from that, he is totally besotted with a girl who works there & can’t find the courage to tell her how he feels.
Many twists & turns to this interesting story with some fun laugh out moments to make you chuckle.
This engaging story will have you hooked to the very last page.
Absolutely loved this cosy well written book.
