I absolutely loved this book!
It's not the type that I'd normally go for, but I am so glad that I did. It's funny, witty & true to life - I could totally relate to Ros, her life & relationships with work, friends & partner.
I'm looking forward to reading more from Lindsey!

I devoured this in a single day! A story of friendship, love and nostalgia. Of going back to what you thought was perfect and finding yourself along the way. Great characters, warm, wonderful friendship and a great love story to boot. Ros’s parents were a hoot!

I've just spent the most wonderful afternoon, devouring this wonderful new book from Lindsey Kelk. I absolutely adore this author and it is always a treat to be able to delve into her latest book.

And this was no exception, from the moment we see that Ros who has moved back to her parents after a few years in Washington, has had her bedroom relocated, you knew you were in for an amusing read. For they have set her up in a shed in the garden for her (and their) privacy. Not only is it her bedroom but its her bedroom from the 90s, so plenty of nostalgia there!

Actually her parents are hilarious, there is a scene with sushi that let's just say you wouldn't want it to be your own parents but for other people its very funny!!

Ros is determined to live in the past and isn't that keen on change, so when she accidentally gets in contact with her ex, and they get together, she is very happy to pick things up where they left off. I wasn't keen on that man at all!

I loved her friendship group, all really distinct personalities and had their own things going on that were interesting to follow. And her new job, well that's different, I'd never given podcasts much thought but Ros was working on one, and for a child gaming YouTube star which is rather amusing.

This has all of Lindsey Kelks' trademark humour in the book, some romance, loads of great situations. I loved the roller skating, and the walled garden and also the dark disc which are all really great scenes.

It's a story that has it all and that I absolutely adored reading. Another hit from one of my all time favourite authors.

Thank you to Harper Collins and Netgalley for this copy which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

I loved this book! Such an easy read, well-written with plenty of description of the characters which are all really relateable.

Ros just moved back from the US where she had been the last 3 years - initially she doesn’t let on really why she is back but fate delivers her ex right to her on a platter but is it what she wants? The local bar owner her friends have befriended seems like a complete tool in the beginning but as she opens up to him maybe he isn’t all that bad.

Walk through Ros’ trials and tribulations of coming to terms with being back home and trying to re-live the past but realising that the future has more in store.

Loved the writing style and would happily devour more books written by Lindsey Kelk..

Entertaining, funny and heartwarming story that I found a brilliant read.
Friendships that are solid are always a good basis of a "fall from grace" style romcom and the friends in this book were an amazing bunch. I think it tackles that change to friendships that occurs (at any age but especially in 30s) with careers, kids, marriage etc and how we can sometimes elevate the glory days with nostalgia and an impossible ideal that often doesn't reflect reality.
This has all the great things you'd expect from a Lindsey Kelk book and was a joy

Really enjoyed this well written romantic novel. Lots of tears and laughter to help you along the way, with an honest viewpoint of friendships thrown in.

This is a good, fun book about treasuring friendships and learning what makes a good relationship. Ros has come back from 3 years in America. Her parents have rekindled their love for each other, which would be lovely if Ros wasn’t a witness to the intimacy! She hopes to resume her friendships as if she never left, us everything has changed and grown and this leaves Ros feeling sad.
A very enjoyable and heartwarming read..

Ros has arrived back from America after 3 years moving there after accepting a job offer. Her friends lives have moved on however she doesn’t seem to have.

I found this book amusing and did laugh in a few places however it was so predictable. When I got to the end of it I felt disappointed not to have had some sort of surprise.

Thank you so much to HarperCollins UK, HarperFiction and Netgalley for an advance copy of this book in return for my honest review.

Ros has just returned to the UK after a three stint at an American radio show as a producer. She's keeping quiet as to why she is back suddenly and is in for a shock when her parents have built a garden shed for her to move into rather than staying her childhood home. Whilst she might be jobless and living in a shed she has her wonderful friends to catch up with.

With a new phone, her friend Sumi suggests sending a group text to all of Ros's contacts to say hi and that this is her new number. Her previous contacts backed up on the cloud, it sounds like the easy option to let everyone know that she's home. Whilst this leads to a last-minute job offer, it also prompts her ex-boyfriend Patrick to get in touch who she split with before heading to America. Her friends aren't keen on him, but she is longing for a slice of her old, uncomplicated life and suddenly she is meeting up with him and potentially picking up where they left off.

Whilst things have changed with her friends over the years, not least the bar they opt to meet up in. Which leads to a new friendship with John the owner who Ros finds easy to talk to. Opening up to him more than her friends, could it be that it's time to move on from the past and look towards the future?

Ros comes back from America with her tail between her legs. Her dream job didn't quite work out, She sends out a group text tp let everyone know she's back. What she doesn't realise is that it has gone to her ex, Patrick. Will they get beach together again or will the ever so annoying John worm his way into her heart?
A pleasant enough romcom with some quite funny moments but it was pretty predictable and the characters weren't quite winsome enough to win me over. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC,

Such a lovely story. Very nostalgic. The main charcutiers trip down memory lane and her shock that life moves on was so natural. I could really relate to this story, I had flash backs to when I returned home from university. This story is so easy to read. If you want to get lost in a book - if this one a go.

Well this was just what the doctor ordered, a lovely, light, fast-paced story about Ros a producer who returns home to London after several years working in the USA.she quickly slips back into life with her charismatic group of friends and settles into life back at her parents... in a shed at the bottom of the garden lovingly created so that their renewed sex life isn't hindered, hilarious. A great read, many thanks to netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I adore Lindsey Kelk’s writing. I am a big fan. And (whisper it), I’ve always thought her stand alone novels are better than her I heart series. So, I had big expectations going into this new stand alone. I am delighted to say it did not disappoint one bit. It had characters you instantly warm to, laugh out loud scenes, and is littered with little references to things that every 30 something will love (Groovy chick, the sims, the Care Bears, the Spice Girls and so on). Ohhh and it has a scene in the rain near the end that is worthy of any Rom Com movie!! What can I say? I loved it. A big 4.5 stars from me. If you like this genre, you need to read this (along with Lindsey’s entire back catalogue).

Light Hearted Read.. To Looking Forward and Leaving The Past in the Past 🥂

Ros returns after working three years away, expecting life to continue as it was before she left, but lots has changed, life moves on. Her parents have found a new lease of life, since both daughters have flown the nest. Their relationship like young lovers, embarrassingly so at times for Ros.
A new person has joined her closest friends, things have gone back with her ex, but is that what she wants. For a long time reminiscing and missing how things were...

I've not read any books by this author before, but definitely would do again. Lighthearted, full of humour, overall great read 👍

When Ros steps off a plane after four years away she’s in need of a job, a flat and a phone that actually works. And, possibly, her old life back. Because everyone at home has moved on, her parents have reignited their sex life, she’s sleeping in a converted shed and she’s got a bad case of nostalgia for the way things were. Then her new phone begins to ping with messages from people she thought were deleted for good. Including one number she knows off by heart: her ex’s. Sometimes we’d all like the chance to see what we’ve been missing.

Oh what an entertaining read this proved to be! Kelk provides the perfect mix of laugh out loud humour and a more serious plot. Honestly this read was so very enjoyable and I highly recommend it.

This starts with Ros returning home, quite literally to a shed, although we do not know the reasons why initially, we follow her as she settles back into her old life and even with her old boyfriend. Along the way Ros might just learn a thing or two. Now, a book such as this does not have shocking twist after twist but it does provide pure escapism and I adored losing myself in this read. Throughout the book I felt every emotion Ros was experiencing, I laughed a lot but there are more emotional moments as well and it all made the book feel very touching.

Ros happens to be one of my favourite characters ever, she is so realistic and so likeable. It was like reading a book about a friend and I adored following her as she navigates her life. I have to give a special mention to her parents, I will not detail their antics but oh wow are you in for a treat! Then we have her friends, I want them to be my friends! All of them are so funny, very individual and bring something to the book and to Ros' life.

'In Case You Missed It' is pure entertainment from beginning to end. I loved getting to know Kelk's wonderful characters and the plot is so entertaining and had me beaming. This is such an enjoyable read and you cannot say better than that.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Collins UK for an advance copy.

This was a light and fun read with which I happily passed the time. It was really well written and I loved the characters and humour.

An entertaining book with slightly predictable conclusion. Some quite funny parts with fun, outlandish at times, characters. I found the main character, Ros, to be a mix of naive, chaotic, needy, irritating but somehow quite engaging in parts. A quick light read to escape with.

Such a brilliant book about starting again and friendship. I loved the dynamic of the group of friends in this book. The book also included another book boyfriend for me to swoon over.

I'd heard lots of good things about Lindsey Kelk and I was excited to read In Case You Missed It. I enjoyed it but it felt a little too predictable. I know that romance books usually are predictable to some extent but this just fell a little flat for me.

It is well written and I did laugh out loud a few times but for some reason I struggled to connect with it overall. Right book wrong time? Maybe.

Read this in less than 24 hours....

The thing with a Lindsey Kelk book is that it's like catching up with an old mate, on your sofa in your fave Pjs, with a nice glass of vino and 'In Case You Missed It' is the prefect tonic to this crazy world right now.

In usual chaotic but hilarious still, Ros is a heroine you root for the minute she ends up in the men's loos in a pub (not as seedy as that sounds). She has a group of mates who you'd happily hang out with in the pub (especially as the landlord is one of their besties and is happy to give drinks on the house).

Ros has just returned for 3 years living in America and wants her life to return to Ros 3 years ago, including getting back in touch with her ex boyfriend...Patrick - I'll say this for Patrick, he clearly went to the Daniel Cleaver school of being a cad.

I have complete faith in Lindsey that she wouldn't let her heroine settle for anything less, especially when there is a landlord giving away free drinks on he horizon!

Chuck in a baby shower, vow renewal a leaky shed and a genius sister and you have all the making of a classic Kelk book.

Thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to review this book, this is my honest opinion.
