I truly believe that every women should read this novel. It gives new meaning to the word empowerment. The relationship between the families grabbed me from the start, and I enjoyed following them on their journeys of discovering what actually made them happy. This book showed readers how important it was to believe in yourself no matter what obstacles were put in the way, and to live your life for yourself and be true to yourself.

"Which is why I'm opting out for a year. Celibate. Chaste. Call it what you will. I'm staying single for 365 days to give my sanity a rest."

At least this is what Leila says on her newly started blog about her year of being celibate. After finding her boyfriend in a hotel room with another woman on Christmas, Leila has decided enough of bad relationships. She wants a rest and needs time to find herself.

None of Leila's friends or family thinks she can do it. But she is determined. Her blog that she starts, turns into a much bigger deal than she originally planned. Her sister, Tasha, and her new sister-in-law, Lucy, are there to help navigate Leila through this new "phase" in her life.

Will she stay celibate the whole year? How is Leila's life going to change during this social experiment? These were the questions I had and I was pleased with how the story turned out. Not as predictable as your normal women's literature books, Butterfield does a charming job of telling Leila's story.

Crazy Little Thing Called Love is a middle of the road novel. Nothing really stands out about it, and its quite predictable. But, its also funny enough to keep you involved until the end. This is the perfect book if you are looking for something very light that won't keep you up at night.

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

This book was so fun! I really enjoyed the characters and their relationships. The twist at the end was unexpected but handled well. A really enjoyable read.

It took me a while to finish and I am sorry to say I actually did not like the book at all.

It started really strong and I was sure to have a winner. Leila travels to India to surprise her boyfriend for Christmas and gets a surprise herself. Not original no, but I liked the way it was written in a funny way and her feisty reaction.

I also liked the first part of the story but in the end I was very disappointed with not only Leila but also her family. They lost my sympathy and ruined the story.

The writing itself is quite good but without a heroine to root for ...

I requested and received an ARC from the publisher via Netgalley for which I am grateful. This is my honest review.

The thing that caught my eye and made me want to read this book was the bright bold cover, its so pretty.

There is one huge thing I loved about this book and that is the Characters. They are basically all from two family's and they are all very close and have regular meet ups and have really busy lives.

I liked how the characters where all coupled off and we got to read bits from each of the couples lives, it wasn't all from one characters side of things.

There was a lot of drama for each character and it all just kept me reading even though it was late at night and my eyes were closing I just had to keep reading to find out what happened next as there was quite a few bombshells and things that you don't see coming.

Crazy little thing called love is a light romantic comedy that so easy to read and there are lots of absolutely hilarious moments that will have you laughing till you cry.

This is my first Charlotte Butterfield book and I absolutely adored it and I will definitely be looking forward to reading more from this author in the future!

This was a funny book, that characters made funny jokes and that's about it. I didn't really like any of them except Nick. At the first couple of chapters I thought I was going to have a blast reading this. The characters felt real, I could totally imagine this family, but as it progressed, I found I didn't like the family. I couldn't connect with any of them, Leila, the selfish hypocrite or Tasha, the homewrecker who becomes wrecked or even Marcus , the oblivious husband
