I LOVED this book！Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for this e-ARC in exchange for an honest review。 This story tells the story of Emmy Palmer， a successful actress living and working in London who is the star of a popular fantasy TV Show。 When a scandal practically forces her to hide for a few weeks， she decides to visit her hometown， where she will find some people from the past， and meet new ones。 It's amazing how the author writes every character。 I loved Emmy！ She's my favorite chara I LOVED this book！Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for this e-ARC in exchange for an honest review。 This story tells the story of Emmy Palmer， a successful actress living and working in London who is the star of a popular fantasy TV Show。 When a scandal practically forces her to hide for a few weeks， she decides to visit her hometown， where she will find some people from the past， and meet new ones。 It's amazing how the author writes every character。 I loved Emmy！ She's my favorite character from the book。 （I'll probably upload another post talking more about this book！）And talking （writing） about characters， I want to say that some of them annoyed me， like Emmy's biological father and Vee。 It's obvious why Emmy's father is annoying to me， and to anyone that has read the book。 Because those things do happen in real life， and it's very hard for those people who suffer from it。 I won't say what I'm referring to， but the ones who have read the book know exactly what I'm talking about。 I know it's not something everyone wants to read about， or even heard about。 But I'm glad， even grateful， that the author has written very well how's the relationship between Emmy and her biological father and how Emmy feels that way。 I empathised a lot with her and I understood her so so well。 You should read this book！ This book came out today！ #WillTheyWontThey #Netgalley 。。。more

Happy publication day to Portia MacIntosh and Boldwood Books with Will they won’t they？ This is my first opportunity to read a Portia MacIntosh book and was glad that netgalley gave me that chance。 I have read so many amazing reviews on her previous books and jumped at the chance to read Will they won’t they？ I thoroughly enjoyed following the adventures of Emmy Palmer and her misadventures when returning to her home town from London。 I found Emmy highly relatable with a family of misfits， old Happy publication day to Portia MacIntosh and Boldwood Books with Will they won’t they？ This is my first opportunity to read a Portia MacIntosh book and was glad that netgalley gave me that chance。 I have read so many amazing reviews on her previous books and jumped at the chance to read Will they won’t they？ I thoroughly enjoyed following the adventures of Emmy Palmer and her misadventures when returning to her home town from London。 I found Emmy highly relatable with a family of misfits， old friends and obligations what’s not to love。 I found her relationship with her dad， one that lots of us know and understand and how that trust is easily lost as a child and the struggle to rebuild it as an adult。 The bond between siblings full and half was nicely negotiated and explored showing the modern take on family life。Overall I absolutely blooming loved this book and will be on the hunt for more Portia MacIntosh books as her writing is entertaining and characters that feel real and tangible。 I highly recommend Will they Won’t they。 。。。more

I was hoping for more from this book。 The romance is just not as strong as the author's previous works， so it comes off as more of a women's lit book rather than straight romance。Also， I felt that there was a lot of build-up with not a lot of pay-off。 Like， Emmy would be dreading a phone call or conversation and then the next scene would be， "Well， that went better than I'd expected。" or days have gone by。 We just don't get any depth in situations or characters。Still， the writing itself is solid I was hoping for more from this book。 The romance is just not as strong as the author's previous works， so it comes off as more of a women's lit book rather than straight romance。Also， I felt that there was a lot of build-up with not a lot of pay-off。 Like， Emmy would be dreading a phone call or conversation and then the next scene would be， "Well， that went better than I'd expected。" or days have gone by。 We just don't get any depth in situations or characters。Still， the writing itself is solid and enjoyable。 I've enjoyed many of the author's other stories， so hopefully this won't be more than a single anomaly。 Every is allowed to have a bad day， or bad book。 I still look forward to whatever the author comes up with next。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 I always enjoy the comedy in Portia MacIntosh's books， and that was here in abundance almost from the start。 Most of it came in the form of Emmy's family dynamic。 And for me， that was the highlight of this story。 I also loved the parallels with Game of Thrones in her acting career。 As a nerd， these jokes made me giggle。 I LOVED the awkwardness of Emmy and Scott's reunion， while the search for a script and the subsequent filthy panto draft had me howling laughing （please， please give us more of t I always enjoy the comedy in Portia MacIntosh's books， and that was here in abundance almost from the start。 Most of it came in the form of Emmy's family dynamic。 And for me， that was the highlight of this story。 I also loved the parallels with Game of Thrones in her acting career。 As a nerd， these jokes made me giggle。 I LOVED the awkwardness of Emmy and Scott's reunion， while the search for a script and the subsequent filthy panto draft had me howling laughing （please， please give us more of that script though！）That said， I found Emmy's initial career dilemma irrelevant for most of the story。 It was supposed to be her reason for returning home， but we also had the family bereavement， and， considering she'd said she was going to keep her head down for a while， there seemed to be little of that once she was home。 Emmy takes selfies with anyone who asks， rehearses daily at a well publicised pantomime yet doesn't have a single pap or （even local） reporter on her tail （which you can guarantee would happen in this country， given the tabloid press and their voracious appetite for chasing scandals）。 Then we don't even learn more about the scandal until right near the end。Unfortunately， I felt that the romance suffered because there were so many other storylines going on concurrently。 It took over a third of the book to get to Emmy meeting any real potential romantic lead， and even then， it didn't seem clear who that romantic lead was supposed to be。 Neither Emmy's interactions with Scott or Tel screamed love interest。 With Scott， she's mostly talking about the past， and with Tel it's how 'nice' he is， how skillful he is at things。 It all just felt a bit muddled and there was very little chemistry。 Consequently， the eventual romantic hook-up felt rushed and bland。 I also found Emmy a bit judgy at times。 She flip-flops between sweet and bitchy。 But even that knowledge didn't prepare me for the weird resentment being tossed at her at the party。 It all just felt a bit sudden and forced。I think there was the potential for a really good rom-com here， but because there was SO much going on， nothing was focused on long enough for me to become truly invested in the characters。*Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to leave an honest review* 。。。more

I skim read most of this book， pages and pages of thinking and description， it just wasn’t needed， the amount of characters was unbelievable and We didn’t really get to know “some” before more were introduced so for most of the time I didn’t know who the people were， this is just not the boom for me

DNF’d at 41%。The writing was good， and I definitely want to check out more books from this author。 However， even at 41% nothing romantic has happened。 The love interest was only seen about twice and there was hardly any interaction。 I was also expecting a Christmas book and there were no Christmas vibes in this story。There also seemed like there were so many subplots in this story。 I really just wanted a cute Christmas romance， and unfortunately I wasn’t getting that from this。

The blurb for this was interesting but possibly not entirely accurate once you start reading。 It was a bit slow in parts but I did like the focus on Emmy and her reconnecting with family。 I would have liked more time spent on building the romance with her final choice though。 A light， easy read （3 ⭐️）。
