I always aim to write an unbiased, truthful review on the books I have read or received as ARC’s from NetGalley however that’s a little tricky when it comes to Lindsey Kelk as I know I will love her books before I’ve even opened the front page (or the first click on my kindle!). Lindsey’s writing is addictive, the story sucks you in until you’re emotionally involved and committed in the characters progress. It wouldn’t be the first time I’ve stayed up late, way past my bedtime, because I can’t bare not to know what happens next whilst silently shouting “just do it!” in my head.
On a Night Like This is like a modern day Cinderella – our heroine Fran learns to put herself first, to say “no” even when she feels like she should say “yes”, to chase her dreams and make the most of every opportunity. I felt like I was Frans biggest cheerleader from the moment she said yes to her interview and left the dull Stew behind, even before I knew what adventures lay ahead, I was begging her not to return to Stew and his Nan’s house!
On a Night Like This is funny, uplifting and romantic. The perfect adult fairy tale that every girl needs. From the moment we are introduced to Evan he seems just dreamy and makes you swoon off the page – it baffles me that Fran could even possibly say ‘no’.
Lindsey Kelk has an amazing ability to make you feel that you are within her story and that her characters are your best friends. I can whole heartedly recommend any of her books, and One a Night Like This is a magical story that all of us need. The only fault I can find is that it’s always over too quickly and I am always left wanting more.
