This was a lovely surprise of a read! It's the story of Jayne who is a harrassed teacher with a love of books, and who is in search of her true love and happy ending!

When her first love reappears on the scene she is beyond ecstatic to reconnect and can barely believe her luck that he even gives her the time of day as she's always too hard on herself and thinks she isn't good enough! she's not outgoing like her twin sister but it finally seems she has the perfect life that we all dream of.

But that all changes when chef Will becomes an internet sensation thanks to his cookery videos and both their lives change but is it for better or for worse?!

Really loved the characters in this story and enjoyed the way the story explored the good, and bad, sides of success on the internet and all that brings with it. It makes you aware of success changing people or changing peoples' perceptions of others because of what they see online and in the media and I found that to be very enlightening in the media obsessed world that we now live in.

Lots of fun moments too made for a very enjoyable read!

There was an immediate warmth to the authors voice right from the beginning and I settled into the story right away.

When Jayne Brady bumps into her teen crush, all of the feelings she had back then coming flooding back. Only now, Will has transformed into a hunk and Jayne still feels like her old awkward self. When Jayne and her twin, Rachel, move in with Will and their relationship blossoms, Jayne couldn't be happier. But then comes along an unexpected twist in their lives.

It all seems too good to be true and for Jayne, that becomes the case. Will's career is flourishing and the attention is drawn towards Jayne - and not in a good way. Will, an internet sensation, is now hot property and no longer her hot property. Everyone wants a piece of him. Suddenly everyone seems to think they have the right to point out her insecurities. Not only that but their not so perfect childhoods are thrown into the spotlight. This isn't the life Jayne wants. Can she still have Will and live happily ever after?

I'll confess to being drawn to this because of the title. Food and books are the perfect combination, right? This book proved that to be true. It's warm and funny and thoroughly entertaining. You can easily relate to the characters. Their lives seemed so wonderful and rosy, I wasn't entirely sure where the plot was going. Where was the conflict? And then it comes. In one of those you never know where life will take you ways. So all the smiles from the sister's banter and teen reminiscence fade away and it all gets serious. Which makes the ending even sweeter!

Me, You and Tiramisu starts out as your typical chick-lit book. Jayne meets, and falls in love with, an old childhood friend. However, this standard chick-lit plot is only the first 10% or so of the book. After this story is where the book really shines. Jayne and Will's relationship is going along wonderfully will Will gains overnight stardom after an online video went viral. What follows is endearing, heartbreaking and hilarious all at once. Also, it remains surprisingly realistic considering the plot. A must read for anyone who enjoys a good romantic comedy.

I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.
