Thank you to Harper Collins for my copy of this book via netgalley. I have been a fan of Lindsey's writing for many many years so it's always exciting when it's time for a new Lindsey book.

This book has a very nostalgic feel. Ros spent too much time being blinded by the past. When we look back on the past we often do so with rose-tinted glasses. Especially if we aren't where we expected to be. Ros has returned to the UK and is living in a shed in her parent's garden. It's really not where she expected to be at 32 years old. Life never turns out as planned so this is a theme that most people can understand. Ros was easy to relate to. She's fun and realistic. She makes mistakes and sometimes makes a right prat of herself.

I loathed Patrick. I am a firm believer that ex's are ex for a reason. I am not one to return to a previous relationship. I'm pretty cutthroat about that. Ros' friend Sumi is a bit like that. I really related to Sumi in that respect.

This book had all the typical elements I have come to love and expect from Lindsey. I love her humour. It helps us all to feel better about our 'idiot' moments.

This book has the beginnings of a great series. I would love to come back to this group of friends and see how they are all getting on. I can really see this being like the I Heart Series.

Well what a light-hearted journey I've just been on with Lindsey Kelk. It had a bit of all I enjoy in there - romance (but not too much), comedy and empowering women and London. I love visiting that wonderful city and Lindsey's descriptions were spot on. Reading a story of a woman finding herself back home again after three years away in another country, having to pick up where she left off....... But should she really?

Loved it! Thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to finish.

My first read by this author – and cannot believe I’d not heard of her before. If you enjoy books by Jojo Moyes or Sophie Kinsella, then you are in for a treat with this one – and I can’t wait to read more by this author.

The story follows Ros, who has returned home after 3 years working away in Washington DC – she thinks she wants life just how it used to be with her ex Patrick – but does she really? Ros meets up with her forever friends and they are such likeable characters.

The story just flows with hilarious funny laugh out loud episodes, including a shed to call home and a tiger mask!
Read it – an enjoy. I miss the characters already!

I received a free copy of this book via NetGalley, in return for an unbiased review.

Thank you NetGalley

Loved this book and is the first time I have read
anything by this author and will not be the last. Thank you for giving me a copy of this to review

I think this is a perfect summer read with strong interesting characters.

Absolutely loved this book. Light hearted, easy to read funny book with characters that were so easy to like and relate to.

Ros, having lost her job in America has come home. Temporarily she needs to stay with her parents. However they have enjoyed the freedom of space and moved Ros s belongings to a garden shed, converted into a very small bedroom, with its very own comfortable loo!!

Ros rekindled her relationship with her old boyfriend, as well as landing a job to do a podcast involving a 14vyr old teenager who only ever wears a face mask and appears to have a crush on her

Ros wants to carry on her life as it was before she left but time hasn't stood still and is made to realise the future is forward not backwards.
A lively, heart warming, feel good read. Highly recommend.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
I read this one as part of a readalong and I really enjoyed it! I thought the book was really realistic which made for an enjoyable read.
I thought the story and the characters had some great humour and it really kept me wanting to read the book.
I’m glad I took part in this readalong and I’m looking forward to reading more of this authors books in the future. I really liked all the characters and the story. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good romance or wants to give a romance a go!

Unfortunately I couldn't get into this one and had to DNF. I found the beginning of the book slow and did not warm to the protagonist at all. It just didn't work for me.

** Thanks to Netgalley and HarperCollins for my advanced copy of this book in exchange for my review.

From my other recently read books you can tell I'm a fan of a rom-com; a frothy, breezy coming-of-age style story with a fun meet cute moment between the female lead, and her potential partner.

This is my first foray into Lindsey Kelk's writing and I wasn't disappointed - it has a more charming and sophisticated approach than most, and with a cast of thirty-somethings in the story it tackles more age relevant aspects like having a baby, being too late to play the field and living with your parents being frowned upon.

The book starts with Ros Reynolds, aged 32 having moved back to London after a three-year stint in Washington DC as a podcast producer. Armed with a new phone, a shed in her parents garden as her new room, and no job yet, she sends out a mass text to her contacts announcing her return, the only trouble is her ex Patrick is one of them. For Ros, he is the man who got away so she's thrilled at the opportunity of a second chance at love with a confident and sexy travel writer (even though her friends hate him). As she's feeling nostalgic, she tries to invoke the same fun and experiences she had in her twenties, so dating Patrick, rolling skate dates and friends gatherings - only things aren't quite the same as they used to be, which is a difficult adjustment for her to make.

There's misadventures, hilarious and well-written supporting characters, and even a questionable 14-year-old wearing giant animal head masks to make this a light-hearted comical page turner. There's unflinching honesty to the character of Ros - her doubts, struggles and idealisms are ones I found myself resonating with so easily. Her parents rekindling their romance is a great additional thread of narrative, and the sushi scene is FUNNY.

However whilst I did feel like the book was trundling along at a believable pace, it was very predictable how it was going to end. The romantic element also takes a back-seat so friendship and self-respect take the reins over Ros' feeling for Patrick, who is hilarious dubbed Twat-faced Wank Chops, and brooding bar-owner John. This really runs with the idea of the mundane moments being the most significant sometimes, so whilst it's not my favourite book of the year, it's a perfect Saturday afternoon flick-through.

Lindsey Kelk is fast becoming one of my go to authors. Her books are relatable, funny and just what a girl who loves rom coms and chick lit needs in her life. An easy to read, laugh out loud novel, I highly recommend it and would love to read a sequel - there are a few sub stories happening that would make great standalone stories where Ros and co could easily be mentioned / featured. Fans of Bridget Jones and the Spinster Series would love this.

This was not my first Lindsay Kelk book and I enjoyed this like all the others. In fact, I cant put them down until I'm finished. Her heroines are relatable, real and funny. Her leading men are charming, warm and enviable. It was refreshing to read about some different professions. Ros has returned from the US where she was a radio producer. She is broke, relegated to the shed at the bottom of her parents garden and desperate. Her friends are thrilled to have her home but their lives have moved which is a shame. All Ros wants is to relive their past adventures and her past loves. An easy, entertaining, feel good book that will have you chuckling and routing for Ros!

This was just a nice read.
Unfortunately the story was fairly predictable, with quite a few unexplained components to the story.
If you fancy an undemanding read this may be for you.

After three years working as a radio producer in Washington, 32 – year – old Ros returns home to the UK. With no job and no place to live, she has to stay with her parents again – that is, at her parents’ garden shed. They’ve just discovered home for themselves again and are not so desperate to share it with their older daughter. Beggars can’t be choosers, right, so shed it is, looking exactly like Ros’ teenage bedroom…
Ros is desperate to get her life back on track. However, all her friends seem to have moved on and don’t have time for her. So she gets herself a new phone and sends a group text from everyone on her list that she’s back in the UK. What she doesn’t know is that one of her contacts is her ex – boyfriend Patrick. He has hurt her badly before she moved to Washington but now he wants to get in touch with her! Could it be Ros’s second chance romance?

It was such a typical Lindsey Kelk book, light and breezy and fun and full of feel – good factor but it’s not too fluffy and too meh – there is depth to it. It’s uplifting and there are clever and sharp one – liners, my favourite kind of humour where you must be able to read between the lines.

The characters in this story are absolutely brilliant – they’re like living and breathing people who make mistakes and who not only made me laugh but also annoyed me incredibly. Especially Ros. Really. She was great. Ros was a girl after my own heart – her feelings about a new mobile phone and all the other things are exactly mine. Please, I beg you, don’t make me change my phone, it’s a few years old already and I still don’t know how it works and I hope I will never have to buy a new one, with thousand other functions that I have no idea what to do with. She’s relatable, realistic and authentic with all her struggles and uncertainties, trying to find out what it really is that will make her happy. But – she has also made me feel desperate. I mean, it was so obvious that the relationship with Patrick was doomed to fail, right? And she didn’t see it. Moreover, she believed in everything he did and said, and I was like, aaargh, Ros! But maybe it has made me feel so frustrated because I’ve seen the ways Ros is trying to adjust, to change into another Ros that she felt would be much more worthy Patrick’s love, and I could do nothing about it?
Our Ros is surrounded by a bunch of great and colourful background characters, and especially her parents stood out there. Some of the best scenes in this novel include her parents and be warned, folks, there are things that you won’t be able to unseen once you’ve seen them. Also Ros’s friends were brilliant, adding so much to this story with their own background and antics. Lindsey Kelk makes them all so easy to like and to connect.

I really liked how dynamic the novel was. As it was following Ros’s journey, full of misadventures and antics, let me mention, but also challenges and confrontations, journey to discover what it is she wants and who she really is, it was quick and fast – paced. It was up – to – date and easy to read and full of things that the readers can relate to. It is a story about moving on, perfectly mixing humour and deeper moments, authentic and wonderfully entertaining. Another winner from Ms Kelk – truly recommended.

Another enjoyable read by Lindsey Kelk, She always manages to add a little magic to her stories and In Case You Missed It was filled with all of her usual humour, heart and likeable characters!

In case you missed it...
Ros returns from her high flying job as a radio show producer in America to London Town. Having missed home, her friends & her ex boyfriend Patrick she is excited to settle back into her old life. Unfortunately for Ros life appears to have moved on without her. Which is how she finds herself single, unemployed & sleeping in a shed with a forever friends duvet cover.
This is a story about how we always tend to rose tint our view of the past and the human ability to erase the bits we want to. Funny, feel good & very relatable - although mine was a Cinderella duvet cover.
Another brilliant book from Lindsey Kelk.

I really enjoyed this book and loved following the story of Ros coming back to the uk and how things have changed. Would highly recommend.

Now before I start please know that I am a massive Lindsey Kelk fan and have read the majority of her books and enjoyed each of them separately.

In Case You Missed It just wasn't one of those... it just didnt click with me AT ALL and if truth be told I found it rather boring.

The main character was witty and funny at times but most of the time a complete bore and the other characters just felt flat.

I also didn't particularly like the way that all 'youngsters' were portrayed, all like carbon copies of a 'typical' teenager.

I apologise for a negative review, I so wanted to praise this highly like all of the past books but an honest review is asked so that's what I'm giving.

Thanks to netgalley and Harper Collins UK for the ARC.

I’m a huge fan of Lindsey Kelk’s sassy writing style so was delighted to be approved for this book... and it didn’t disappoint.
I loved Ros, the main character, and really Invested in her and wanted the best for her. As the tale unfolded we saw her almost try to turn back time to relive a previous life and see if it turned out as she had hoped at the time but what we really were seeing was Ros growing up and coming to terms with being in control of life, and getting the best out of it because you deserve it. It was all very relatable (as are most of Lindsey’s books) and I often recognised bits of myself in Ros... as anyone who has been in love or had their heart broken will I am sure.

I could envisage this as a movie in the future - one I would definitely go to the cinema to watch! I loved the book and was sad when it ended, though I was pleased with the ending.

Thanks to Harper Collins and NetGalley for an ARC of this book.

Thank you HarperCollins & NetGalley for the advanced copy of this book.

Lindsey Kelk has done it again! I absolutely adore all of Lindsey's books and this was no different. I absolutely could not put it down.

The story follows Ros has just moved back to London after working in the US for 3 years. Although her friends aren't too keen on the idea, she gets in touch with her ex boyfriend and things spiral from there.

Once again, Lindsey has created something that took me on an emotional rollercoaster. I laughed, I cried, and I fell in love with Ros' relatable character.

As soon as I see Lindsey Kelk has a new book it immediately hits the top of my TBR list. I love her writing style and the rich, complex characters she creates.

‘In case you missed it’ is Lindsey Kelk at her best. She introduces you to a cast of characters you fall in love with, and a couple you perhaps feel less than warmly towards, and then she takes you on a journey with them. I loved this story so much and I devoured it from beginning to end. It was maddening (in the very best way) to wait for Ros to see what was under her nose the whole time and I couldn’t have been more invested in the story.

I found it hilarious, warm and uplifting.

Ah Lindsey, thank you, I think this has been your best so far- I loved it. So many laugh out loud moments and a few lumpy throat times too. Read it, you won’t be disappointed.
