I really enjoyed the book, it has everything I love in a novel from start to finish. I can’t wait to read what the author has planned next!

Cloudy With a Chance of Love is an incredibly sweet, wonderfully witty tale from Fiona Collins, aithor of A Year of Being Single, in which a fortune forecast reveals Daryl has a 99% chance of falling in love. This was a heartwarming, funny read that I found hard to put down.

Daryl’s husband left her and he didn’t just leave her, but he left with her best friend. Daryl lost two important people at once, but now it’s time to move on. After a night out, she throws her wedding ring in a fountain and her friend Sam suggest that they could take a fortune forecast. They both got good news, especially Daryl, who was predicted to fall in love by Friday and the chance is as high as 99 %. To help the fate a little bit, Sam invites Daryl along to speed dating. The speed dating offers several opportunities, but the best man seems to live much closer-Daryl’s neighbor Will. Daryl and Will are both hesitant in the dating game, will the fortune forecast come true?

It was the first book by the author, but I truly liked the writing style and the characters were realistic and easy to relate to. There was so much humor in it and I especially loved the speed dating moments. It’s a great book filled with humor, romance and importance of friends. I am definitely looking forward to read more by the author.

This is the second book by Fiona Collins that I have read and I have to say her books are so much fun to read.

So what did I think about Cloudy with a Chance of Love...

One of the best things about this story is Daryl, I love the way she looks at life. This really drew me to her and made her such a likeable person. Daryl is upbeat about things even when life and people have treated her badly.

Daryl's next door neighbour Will is pretty perfect and I have to admit I had a bit of a crush on him myself! I loved the easy interactions Daryl and Will share but is he the one?

The story was so easy to get into and I was interested to see what had actually happened when Daryl's marriage broke down. It was intriguing to see if the fortune forecast would work especially with a timescale of a week. However the story moved along at a brisk pace but with enough detail to get a feel for the story. Throughout the week Daryl experiences lots of things and they were so much fun to read. The speed dating was especially entertaining with lots of shall we say interesting people taking part.

I enjoyed every chapter of this book, I read the last half of it in one go as I couldn't put it down. I'm so glad I picked this as my first book of 2017 it was such a great way to start the year!

Witty and entertaining with an uplifting story!

Five stars from me!
