A good read.
I would highly recommend to family and friends.

Many thanks to the publisher and NeyGalley for my ARC, in exchange for an honest review.

i could see the potential in this book however i thought it was a bit unrealistic, I found this difficult however i could see the good aspects of it.

A Girl Called Love is not the funny chick lit mystery that I thought it would be. It is a whole lot more than that.

Florence Love is a private investigator specialising in entrapment. She is paid by suspicious spouses to find proof (or not) of their partner’s unfaithfulness.

Florence is an interesting protagonist. She is smart, attractive, and devious. I didn’t initially warm to Florence, however she slowly got under my skin and by the half way point I found that I actually rather liked her as a character. I was particularly intrigued about her level of self-awareness regarding her own strengths and weaknesses. As a protagonist, she’s certainly unique!

Florence’s colleague is her younger brother Michael. The dynamic between Florence and Michael is interesting. She helped to raise him after their mother Bambi left when they were young. He is somewhere on the autistic spectrum. Florence spends a lot of time looking after Michael, yet she needs him just as much as he needs her. The book is almost as much about the characters as it is about the story and, as a reader, you get a vivid sense of who they are.

When it comes to the plot, there are twists and turns galore. Lee certainly has a creative brain! Why did their mother go missing? Is she still alive? Who was the mystery man in the car? Is Scott ‘Scat’ Delaney being unfaithful to his fiancée? Will he fall in love with Florence? Will she fall for him? There are just so many questions to be answered as the tale progresses. I would love to say that I guessed how things would turn out, but I really didn’t. I do love a story where the ending isn’t totally obvious!

Lee has a unique style of writing. I love her use of vocabulary and I enjoyed her irreverent sense of humour. Whilst I must admit that I wasn’t quite sure about the book initially, a couple of chapters in and it quickly becomes a page-turner. A Girl Called Love is funny, feisty and, above all, it’s great fun!

Great read and easy to follow story line. Look forward to reading more from this author.
