Florence Fairfax has captivated my attention for the day and I was lost in her world completely. Seeing life through her eyes - I laughed, I definitely cried ugly tears at one bit and I felt all warm and fuzzy when I put the book down. 

I had read The Plus One so I already knew that I would enjoy this book as I had the last but Sophia Money-Coutts managed to outdo herself with this one. I throughly enjoyed reading and am now tempted to throw caution to the wind and book a last minute trip to Patagonia!

This was a funny and heartwarming book. It might have been a bit predictable but, with engaging characters and lots of laugh out loud moments it was an enjoyable read particularly in the current climate.

Yet another brilliant read from Sophia Money-Coutts!
Meet Florence Fairfax, a slightly OCD character, with some interesting anxiety-related behaviours, who works in a small book shop in London. Oh, and a non-existent love life.
Until a concerned stepmother suggests a therapist...
Amidst disbelief that anything will come of it, Flo visits said therapist and comes away with a list of her perfect man.
And apparently, the universe delivers! Or does it?
I loved the characters, and I honestly laughed out loud several times,  causing my husband to look at me quizzically. How could I explain that "Cowabunga!" will never sound the same to me ever again? (Confused? Well, you need to read to find out the reason - and it's well worth the read!)
Many thanks to NetGalley and HQ for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book is a well written and easy read that is very light hearted, witty and funny. The characters were great too. The ending was a little predictable but I still really enjoyed it nonetheless. Looking forward to her next book. Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

Florence is happily single, working in a bookshop and  sharing her home with her cat, and two stepsisters. Her stepmother makes her an appointment with a love coach who tells her to make a wish list for what she is looking for in a man. Florence had reluctantly attended  to appease her stepmother only to find that she is expected to attend more than one appointment.
Is it just coincidence then that the perfect man appears in her bookshop a week later? 
I really enjoyed reading The Wish list, and even though the ending was as I expected, I enjoyed the journey to get there.

I loved this book and I love this author, its her best publication yet.

The characters are likeable and relatable, without being too saccharine and run of the mill. The plot moves at a good pace to keep it interesting. You're taken through a wold I suspect most of us would have little idea about, without being made to feel like uncouth plebs... Just read with caution if you have a cat. 

Highly recommend

I was so excited to read this book because I really love Sophia’s writing and The Wish List was no exception! It’s such an enjoyable read and had me wanting to reach for my kindle at any chance I could. A story about a girl that’s a little bit different working in a bookshop and getting in to a relationship which she has no experience with, whilst trying to save the bookshop. Florence is extremely likeable and funny, along with her sisters Mia and Ruby. Florence’s character actually becomes funnier as the book goes on and she comes out of her shell a little more. All in all, another brilliant book from Sophia and I hugely recommend!

Hilarious and heartfelt. Loved every single page and couldn’t wait to find out the ending. You can’t hope but adore Flo and her two sisters as well as the rest of the supporting characters. Moments that are sheer bonkers with the odd tear jerking moment. Couldn’t recommend more. Loved it!

Thank you Netgalley

This book was entertaining, far fetched at times but fun. I loved Flo and the people around her. Occasional, laugh out loud moments but overall an enjoyable read. How I wish my list would come true

Absolutely loved this his book, so much so I even tweeted the author to tell her! I love how the heroine had flaws which were imbedded from a past event.  It was quite obvious who she was going to end up with as soon as he was introduced but this didn’t matter cos the book so very real and very funny.  The sex scenes were realistic (who hasn’t turned their head away to stop our bedmate from getting a want of morning breath?!

I am so pleased I have discovered this fantastic author, I will definitely be reading her other titles.

Many thanks to Netgalley for allowing me to review an advanced copy with an unbiased opinion.

I did really enjoy this book but it wasn't what I'd call a page turner. I love that it centred around a bookshop.
I would have liked more mention of the NOMAD group and to get to know those characters  a bit better, as it was they were just a list of names. 
I thought this was pretty predictable from early on in the book but it was a nice light read in these uncertain times. I would read another book by this author.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an ARC.

I really enjoyed this book! It's addictive, funny, and was a very quick read for me.

Florence was a joy to read and I loved her relationship with her sisters and colleagues. The character development throughout the story was excellent, seeing Florence learn and gain confidence made me so happy.

Such an enjoyable read!

Was so eagerly anticipating Sophia’s newest novel after the roaring success of her first last year. Florence is a witty, dry character who provides humour and mishaps throughout. The surrounding cast were really well written and felt realistic yet very individual and quite eccentric. I loved the pace of the story, I was completely immersed and enjoyed it thoroughly. The romantic storyline was slightly predictable but I didn’t mind as I loved being in Florence’s world. Fleabag meets Sophie Kinsella meets Notting Hill, cannot wait for the next one already!

An OK chick lit, well written but a bit run of the mill for me. Too many aspirational venues, experiences and products which I hope don’t reflect the twenty/thirty somethings. I decided to read this as I felt it might give me an idea of the way of life for the age range of my children, probably not the one they tell me, however it does feel miles away. The goals seem to be of partying and finding a husband and I really had hoped that these values from the seventies were long gone for today’s young people, but I suppose recycling, the daily commute and long working hours do not a fun read make! 
However, as I said at the start, it is written well, is a little funny at times and has several kind hearted people in the mix. So as a quick, light hearted read for a summer’s day ( although I did skip the sex bits...too ‘shades of grey’ and submissive for me ) it is OK. Thank you Netgalley for the ARC.

Thank so much Netgalley and HQ books for an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

I had never heard anything about this author nor this book before but I liked its synopsis and I thought it would be a cute read!

I liked that there were some very fun moments throughout the whole book. The main character, Florence´s personality was perfect for this book as she didn´t take life too seriously and always found something positive in everything she did. I also liked her humour, her way of facing the situation she was living, the way she talked about herself and how much she loved her job, which is the same as mine!

This book was very light and quick to read. It was romantic without being too cheesy, it had the perfect amount of humour, drama and real life problems.

I also liked the writing style. There were a lot of dialogues that made the book quicker and easier to read, there were a lot of Flo´s thoughts that made me smile and laughed, and there were a lot of situtations with her step-mother and her sisters that entertained me and made me flew by the book.

With that being said, there were also a few things that I didn´t enjoy that much. There were a couple of scenes that made me uncomfortable, and weren´t nice to read regarding to Rory (Flo´s friend) and his family, who was very unlovable in my opinion.

I knew from the very beginning were the love story was heading to and, although I enjoyed the ride and how events developped, I was kind of: Okay! But we know how this is going to end, right?

Another thing that stopped me from giving this book a higher rating was that, at some point, I felt like everyone around Flo´s live knew best than her what she needed, how she had to look like, how she had to behave, etc.

Like I said, the end was predictable and although I quite enjoyed the wedding scene, I can't give this book more than 2/5⭐

A wish list is made in this Cinderella take on romance. Enter Tory Rory and  in he walks into the book shop. Perfect, at last, she has the boyfriend she's always dreamed of. Or does she? Zach, the owner's nephew arrives and together they plan events and Zach shows a different side, showing first impressions can be deceptive. The sex scenes with Rory were very tongue in cheek and took the mick out of the genre. An amusing modern day twist on the Cinderella story. I enjoyed the book.

I loved reading this book, a love story with elements of hilarity.  Once I started reading I couldn't put the book down.

Florence is single and her family are desperate for her to find a partner. Her mother pays for her to see Gwendoline a love coach, who advises she writes a wish list of all the requirements she is looking for in a man. Surprisingly soon after along comes Rory to her bookshop with his eccentric clothes and rather snobby attitude. Is Rory Mr right or just Mr right now!! Slowly she begins to see his true self and maybe true love is closer to her than what she thinks.

This is such a witty book, it had me laughing and crying. Let’s just say “Cowabunga” and I cannot stop laughing!!!

This is the first book I’ve read from this author but will definitely not be my last.

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy in exchange for a review.

Oh how I loved this book, amazing characters- I loved Florence and her quirks. The wishlist had a heartwarming plot. Florence is 32 and has never had a boyfriend much to the disappointment of her stepmother who books her a block of sessions with a love guru. Before long Florence does meet someone and he ticks all of the boxes. I have to admit I was not a fan of Rory the Tory and did not warm to him from the off perhaps because of our current coronavirus predicament. An excellent read!

Absolutely loved this book. This is the second book I have read from this author and I can't wait to read the next one. 
The main character Florence (who is very quirky) works in a quaint book shop. She reluctantly seeks help from an eccentric love guru and makes a wish list of traits she would like a potential boyfriend to have. She then meets Rory who seems to tick everything on her list.
Florence has 2 sisters, one who is due to marry. The wedding was hilarious!
This is a perfect feel good summer read. Yes, it was totally predictable, but then aren't all rom coms? Great characters, great story, just the right amount of humour, what's not to like!
Thank you so much to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this advanced copy. Just what I needed during the Coronavirus lockdown.
