Yes, this is a really funny book in which disaster after disaster sends the reader hurtling towards a very satisfying wrap-up. The characters and the situations they find themselves in are often hysterical and the author creates a real sense of life through the dialogue. But this book also captures an incredibly important message about inclusion - how different we all are and how labelling and judging can get in the way of living. I found parts of this book incredibly sad as the experiences of someone “different” struggled to get along within the rails of “normal” expectations. So, yes, people can read it for a genuine laugh but I also hope people will take a moment to reflect on inclusion, difference and judgement,

Love Painted in Lies: A Maida Vale Tale by Holly Denham is a fun, light, and witty tale about an art Forger named Minty who's quirky style and unconventional answers will have you grinning and shaking your head simultaneously.
Follow a cast of crazy but loveable characters through the events resulting from one of Minty's biggest heists years earlier as they race to find a missing painting and save Minty from prison.
The book does start a bit slow as the storyline builds, but once the scene is set, the humor begins, and the book is pretty enjoyable.
