I really do adore the way in which Lindsey Kelk writes。 It's incredibly relatable, packed full of up to date pop culture references, funny and wise。This was the perfect escapist read, taking me from being stuck at home to the glamor of a luxury yacht to a little Italian port (I really liked Fran and Evan's meet-cute in the shop) to an extravagant ball。I loved Fran as a character。 She was easy to relate to and incredibly likeable。 And because of that I could easily put myself in her shoes。I actua I really do adore the way in which Lindsey Kelk writes。 It's incredibly relatable, packed full of up to date pop culture references, funny and wise。This was the perfect escapist read, taking me from being stuck at home to the glamor of a luxury yacht to a little Italian port (I really liked Fran and Evan's meet-cute in the shop) to an extravagant ball。I loved Fran as a character。 She was easy to relate to and incredibly likeable。 And because of that I could easily put myself in her shoes。I actually felt like I saw a lot of myself in her, which made me even more excited to see how her story would turn out。If I had to compare On A Night Like This to another book or movie it would be a mash up of The Devil Wears Prada (when she's working as an assistant) and Cinderella (for obvious reasons once she begins to entertain attending the Crystal Ball)。I enjoyed the romantic elements and Evan as a character for us to root for her being with。 But I also liked that it wasn't all about going from one relationship into another or having her being in a relationship, albeit an unhappy one and then having a torrid affair one night whilst pretending to be someone else。Evan's jigsaw analogy is also a stand out and something I won't forget anytime soon。This was a brilliant book and whether you're a fan of Lindsey's back catalogue or not, I cannot recommend On A Night Like This highly enough!Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

I kindly received an eARC advance copy of this book to read and review though NetGalley。 Fran has been with her fiancé Stewart for ages。 They moved to Sheffield from London when his grandmother died and left him her house。 He gave up his photography career in London and she gave up travelling for work。 But when Fran is offered a temp job sailing on a yacht with a celebrity singer for a few days, she ends up taking the job anyway。 Stewart hardly listens to her anymore and seems to be far more int I kindly received an eARC advance copy of this book to read and review though NetGalley。 Fran has been with her fiancé Stewart for ages。 They moved to Sheffield from London when his grandmother died and left him her house。 He gave up his photography career in London and she gave up travelling for work。 But when Fran is offered a temp job sailing on a yacht with a celebrity singer for a few days, she ends up taking the job anyway。 Stewart hardly listens to her anymore and seems to be far more interested in his ex than he is in her。 The trip changes things for Fran。 Her boss gets her honest feelings out of her and nudges Fran into realising the life she is leading is not for her。 When Fran is left to attend the annual super swanky Crystal Ball by herself, things turn into a modern day Cinderella story。 This is a sparkly and enjoyable read。 Fran is a loveable and genuine character who realises that if she doesn’t place her first, then others won’t do that for her。 It’s a super read! 。。。more

I love Lindsey Kelk's I Heart。。。 series but haven't always had the best luck with her stand-alones; I think the only one I've enjoyed is One in a Million。 Therefore, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked On A Night Like This, a fun, frothy, escapist read。 Fran is surprised to suddenly be appointed as temporary assistant to the incredibly famous singer, Juliette, and asked to accompany her via private yacht to the Crystal Ball, a super-exclusive party on a tiny Mediterranean island。 This I love Lindsey Kelk's I Heart。。。 series but haven't always had the best luck with her stand-alones; I think the only one I've enjoyed is One in a Million。 Therefore, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked On A Night Like This, a fun, frothy, escapist read。 Fran is surprised to suddenly be appointed as temporary assistant to the incredibly famous singer, Juliette, and asked to accompany her via private yacht to the Crystal Ball, a super-exclusive party on a tiny Mediterranean island。 This also offers Fran the chance to get away from her long-term boyfriend, Stew, for a few days and work out what she wants next from their relationship。 This being a Kelk novel, things start to go wrong for Fran almost immediately - but will she find what she's looking for at the Crystal Ball? Unlike most chick lit, Kelk's books tend to have a core of emotional honesty about the difficulties of relationships that makes me really warm to her characters, and although Fran's journey is in many ways unrealistic, it feels emotionally authentic。 Also, I always love a glamorous foreign setting。I received a free proof copy of this novel from the publisher for review。 。。。more

I am a massive Lindsey Kelk fan so was so excited when I saw this on Netgalley and even more excited when I got accepted to read it。This book did not let me down in the slightest, I absolutely loved it! Lindsey has a real knack for hooking you from the very start of the book and this wasn’t any different。 Francesca was such a lovely character and I’d love to be one of her friends IRL ;)When she is offered a job where she’s required to sign a NDA you’re wondering what it would be and when it’s re I am a massive Lindsey Kelk fan so was so excited when I saw this on Netgalley and even more excited when I got accepted to read it。This book did not let me down in the slightest, I absolutely loved it!

It sounds amazing!!! I’ll not say too much and spoil the surprise though。 I loved the way that Francesca stands up for herself and isn’t afraid to tell people what she thinks of them。 And the dynamics between her and Evan are just magical, the night in question sounds truly amazing and it really is a once in a lifetime experience!His jigsaw analogy was spot on and I love this way of looking at life, it’s such a unique approach that I’ve not heard of before but it really made me smile。 Lindsey has smashed it again with On A Night Like This and I can’t wait for more people to read this so that I can chat about it with them!!! 。。。more

Oh my! As a lover of everything Lindsey Kelk writes, I was confident that this wouldn’t let me down, and it really didn’t。 In fact it was actually so much better than I had imagined。 As always Lindsey writes in a way that makes you smile, and the inclusions of minor details that you can relate to make it feel like your hearing it from a friend (like the old bra’s that should have been chucked long ago & the Chris Evans pictures, eek - but come on, who didn’t look?!)As for the storyline, the main Oh my!

Apart from putting a Kylie song in my head every time I thought of the title, Lindsey Kelk’s latest book did a lot of other, equally magical things to me while I read it! It made me laugh (a lot), it gave me feels, it took me to Italy and as always, it thrilled me with its many high-stakes comedy set-ups。 But as always with Lindsey’s books, it served a nuanced balance of adventure and romance, always more intelligently tart than saccharine。 This time around, Kelk tackles fame, friendship and des Apart from putting a Kylie song in my head every time I thought of the title, Lindsey Kelk’s latest book did a lot of other, equally magical things to me while I read it! It made me laugh (a lot), it gave me feels, it took me to Italy and as always, it thrilled me with its many high-stakes comedy set-ups。 But as always with Lindsey’s books, it served a nuanced balance of adventure and romance, always more intelligently tart than saccharine。 This time around, Kelk tackles fame, friendship and destiny to the point of practically sidelining the romance, and that’s a very rewarding thing, because she finds the romance in life and friendship, then spreads that lavishly over this delightful breakneck novel。 Another winner that I just can’t get out of my head。 。。。more
