Hilarious and full of relatable moments. Really enjoyed it and read through it quickly. Looking forward to the next outing from this author

Firstly thank you to the publishers for my copy on netgalley. I felt very lucky as Lindsey is a incredible author.I whizzed through this
Funny,warm and romantic.

A tale of taking the reigns back on your life and your identity.
To not settle and ask and expect more for yourself.

Friendships and family are central in Ros life . They are there to give her guidance and encouragement , but what happens when a ex reappears. Her parents were hilarious and having her living in a shed was the icing on the cake. And of course the right amount of eye candy . But surely Ros wont be looking anywhere other than at her ex /boyfriend now hes back ..which is what shes dreamt of…right?

A great summer read with fantastic charactars and Lindseys signature humour running through .

First time I have read anything written by Lindsey Kelk and wasn't disappointed. What have I been missing for all these years! Looking forward to reading more of her books.

I found this book to be enjoyable with interesting characters; it is one of those books that you can’t put down.

Lindsey Kelk writes a light, bright, frothy, breezy and fun rom-com with many of the familiar tropes from the genre, but she wraps them up in a decidedly stylish, moreish and hilarious package. After a three year stint in Washington DC as a radio producer, an unemployed 32 year old Rosalind 'Ros' Reynolds returns home, only to cringe on seeing that her parents are in the throes of a midlife sexual renaissance, and have adapted the shed at the bottom of the garden for her to live in. In dire financial straits and desperate to get a job, the first thing she wants is to get back with her friends that mean almost everything to her, high powered lesbian lawyer, Sumi, the married to creepy Dave and now heavily pregnant, Lucy, and her longest best friend, the financially well off Adrian Anderson.

After putting out a universal I'm back email that in error reaches her ex-boyfriend, travel writer Patrick Parker, he gets in touch. For Ros, he is all she has ever wanted, okay her friends cannot stand him, but she is over the moon, rejoicing at the prospect of being back together with him. Life is beginning to look good and becomes even better when she finds a job almost immediately as a producer at PodPad. Her client at the company is a teen e-sport megastar, the mask wearing Snazzlechuff with a huge international following. It is made clear should she fail with him, she will be fired. A nostalgic Ros tries to resurrect the fun and joy of her twenties, organising skating outings, and more, but her friends are now in different places in their lives, and is she flogging a dead horse, trying to breathe life into her relationship with Patrick? Is it time for her to move on, particularly with the entry of barowner, John, into her life?

Kelk writes an uplifting, warm and comic rom-com that hits the mark with it's central protagonist, Ros, surrounded by a stellar supporting cast of characters, from her parents who want to renew their wedding vows, and a fabulous bunch of supportive friends who are there for her when things go wrong, or her world falls apart, whilst celebrating her successes with her. This is a engaging and entertaining read, full of mayhem and misadventures, of a Ros who comes to realise she has to learn to move on from the past and confront the challenges of life's realities, and get more in touch with who she is and what it is that she wants. A great read to escape the troubled realities of our contemporary world. Many thanks to HarperCollins for an ARC.

Oh I love a Lindsey Kelk book. You just know...you truly know...that it's going to be good. And this was no exception and certainly not a disappointment. I absolutely loved every page! I've been reading Lindsey's books for years and she's one of my favourite authors. She writes books perfect for Summer Sunshine and Winter Chills - regardless they will transport you to another world, sometimes another climate, and often someone else's drama so you can forget your own!

I adore Lindsey Kelk and lap up pretty much everything she writes. Her humour comes through in an easy way and makes reading her books so enjoyable.

In Case You Missed It is probably my favourite Lindsey Kelk book to date.

Ros is a brilliant lead character. So normal and regular, so flawed (in her own mind) and fond of looking backwards to so-called happier times. After leaving Washington DC, Ros returns home expecting to pick up where she left off, only to find that life hasn’t paused. Her friends and family have all progressed with their own lives. It takes Ros some time to readjust, realising there’s more fun in the future than in looking backwards.

Ros’ friends are great. Really well written and each with their own distinct personality. Patrick is vile, which is testament to how well the author has written him. Ros’ parents are cringey and perfect at the same time, and John...well, he’s awesome :)

The writing flowed well, chapters engaging and I devoured the book very quickly.

I loved the shed scenes and genuinely laughed out loud through many scenarios in the book. Lindsey Kelk is such a talented writer.

Thank you NetGalley for my advanced copy of this book 📚

Ros has moved back from overseas and when she gets a new phone accidentally messages her ex. The one that got away. When they get back together, she starts to wonder if maybe she was wrong to think he was the love of her life.
A true chick lit book. Funny and romantic in all the right places.

I love Lindsey Kelk books and this was no exception. It's funny, engaging, has great characters and a fun close friendship group and even a dastardly villain. What more could you want?
Ros was a great character - your typical slightly kooky woman who seems to be attracted to misadventure. I loved her interactions at work (including the way she handles the WEIC situation) and I also loved the idea of a thirty-something woman being sent to live in the shed to avoid disrupting her parent's sex lives. However, there is also more to Ros and her desperation to reclaim the past was a little sad. Her friendship group was very diverse, slightly bonkers but the kind of friendship group that we all want. Then there were the love interests: two handsome, successful men but very different in their personality and what they want from Ros. Will she realise which is the one that will make her happy?
I think a really big strength of this novel was the range of slightly mad supporting characters: chain smoking Veronica, the recapturing-their-romance parents and the mask clad Snazzlechuff all brought some great depth and humour to this already great novel.
A brilliant read for summer.

I've read only a few novels by Lindsey Kelk but I have really enjoyed them so I was looking forward to getting stuck into this one. The cover is simple and doesn't give anything away but the bright colours really make it stand out and it looks so pretty! Also, wasn't sure on the title of the novel but again as I mentioned before I couldn't wait to read it!

This one was absolutely brilliant. I love Lindsey's easy humour, her novels are so easy and enjoyable to read and I felt like I flew through the pages. Laughing at Ros' attempts at romance and the adventures she has with her friends. There are some real laugh-out-loud moments in this book, such as a certain sushi situation that took place between Ros' parents. I also loved Ros' mum, she seemed like such a fun character! All of the characters I liked really. I kind of knew what was going to happen throughout, but there were other moments that I had no clue what was going to happen and the end result made me laugh!

This novel is set in London, with main character Ros who has just moved back from Washington where she has just lost her job. Since she has moved back in with her parents, everything doesn't seem the same as before. She feels her friends have moved on with their lives, her mum and dad have even got a romantic spark that wasn't there before. So, when Patrick comes back into her life, it seemed like all her dreams had come true - as Patrick was the one who got away and Ros believes she's still madly in love with him. But, everything isn't the same as before and Ros learns the hard way that everything happens for a reason and the past is the past for a reason.

It's a great, lighthearted novel. I loved all of Ros' friends, her parents, the easy humour. It was just a really lovely read. Thank you to the publisher for a chance to read an advance copy of this novel via Netgalley, which I have reviewed honestly.

When Ros returns home after 3 years abroad she finds her life very quickly turned upside down starting with the fact that her new bedroom is actually a shed! Her first job is to get a new phone but when she mistakenly sends her new number to all she starts to receive texts from people she hasn't spoken to in years, including her ex and she soon finds herself living the life she had left behind.

Slowly Ros starts to realise that whilst she is living the same life as three years ago, her friends have all started to grow up and move on to the next phase in their life, now she has to decide to stay living in the past or move on with new guy John.

I really loved the relationship between John and Ros, I liked the banter between them and found them relatable.

This book was a fun read, and one I didn't want to put down. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants an enjoyable read

I've read quite a few Lindsey Kelk books but I think this one is my new favourite! I loved the character of Ros and really enjoyed reading about her struggle to try and pick up where she left off after returning from working abroad. Ros returns to the UK hoping life will be the same as it was when she left, but soon realises that life, and her friends, have all moved on without her.

Ros is such a relatable character and her humour is hilarious! Parts of this book literally had me laughing out loud, particulary at Ros' parents and their rekindled romance! I loved that they moved her old room into the shed and all the 90s references had me pining for my old Groovy Chick bedding (clearly the best bedding ever!). There's also an incident with a lions head that's particularly memorable!

Ros has a great, diverse group of friends that all had different perspectives to add to the story and worked well with her slightly crazy family dynamics! The ex-boyfriend/new love interest plot was entertaining, and it's very hard not to route for the lovely hot barman to win!

I absolutely loved this book and was sad when it came to an end. It's the perfect read for anyone feeling nostalgic for their early twenties (or for their my little ponys!). Definitely a feel good read.

Lindsey Kelk really does deliver on all those descriptions applied to romantic comedy. Hilarious, laugh out loud, devastatingly witty – she hits them all. I have not yet read a book of hers I haven’t loved and In Case You Missed It is another example of her delivering the perfect romcom. It has a truly relatable heroine in Ros, a hero you quite want to bring home yourself, the coterie of well-defined and always amusing friends, the hideous boyfriend from her past, and beautifully described well-meaning but slightly cringy parents.
There is not a page that does not make me giggle and she manages to write comic scene after comic scene whilst developing a fabulous plot and proper romance along the way. Absolutely faultless.

I love Lindsey Kelk books.
They never disappoint and ‘in case you missed it’ didn’t either.
A funny light hearted easy read, with great fun characters.
Brilliant to escape in.
Loved it

Ros returns home after 3 years away. Her parents have built her a shed in the garden to live in, and have disturbingly, rekindled their sexual relationship. Her friends are all still there but life has moved on for them all. A group text results in Ros meeting the love of her life, Patrick, once more. Will their romance be rekindled? Funny, with laugh out loud moments, well written and thoroughly enjoyable.

I was abit late to the party with Lindsey's 'I Heart' series, but as soon as I finally got stuck in to them, I was hooked, so when In Case You Missed It was announced, I knew I couldn't miss out on it! Lindsey really does know how to write the wittiest and most humorous of conversations, you'd be crazy not to laugh out loud.

The character's were so unique and wonderful, I adored absolutely everybody in their own individual ways. I also loved how relatable our main character, Ros was. The way her and her friends spoke to one another, it's the type of friendship I have/want with my friends. I really loved the dynamics between Ros and John as well - it had me smiling continuously throughout.

A fantastic read and a great distraction from the crazy world we find ourselves in - if you're in need of a good smile and laugh, this is the book!

This is one of my favourite books that I have read this year. I love the friendship between Ros and Sumi. The characters felt real and truthful. The setting of John's bar makes for a perfect place for Ros to meet her friends and work out what direction she wants her life to take. Lots of lovely moments in the book: dark disco, Ros's shed, Patrick Parker and her mum and dad's renewal vows. A perfect read with plenty of laugh out loud moments. I would highly recommend this book. Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for letting me review this book.

I loved all the 'I ❤️' books and was sad to see them finish, so wondered how I would like this new book. I need not have worried! An enjoyable laugh out loud read, mixed with a few tears along the way. A strong story of Ros coming home to the UK after 3 years in America, to find her parents not relishing her living at home again, so putting her in a refurbished leaky she'd at the bottom of their garden. She lands a job quickly, although not really what she wants. The group of close friends she left behind are thrilled to see her, but have all moved on to a certain extend, and have a new addition to the group, a local bar owner called John. When she gets a new phone, she sends her number to All her contacts, including her unpopular ex Patrick, who broke her heart and is hated by her friends. Can a leopard change their spots? A really great book, loved it from start to finish........

In Case You Missed It, is a sweet, funny romance with plenty of laugh out loud moments! I struggled to put this story down, which meant lots of walking around the house glued to my kindle.

I loved Ros's friendship with Sumi, Lucy and Adrian. They were a special group and their bond was so supportive and joyful. They were all different, but blended together perfectly because of their great mix of personalities. Their's is a gang I would love to be part of.

The novel has a slow-burn, satisfying romance. There is brilliant early tension between Ros and John., and they also have what is possibly the funniest meet cute ever. Their story has an inevitability to it which compels you to read on so you can reach its conclusion.

Through Ros, Kelk also explores lots of common insecurities. Nostalgia for the past prevents Ros from moving forward and Kelk perfectly captures the unease that life is moving too fast, and everyone else is taking steps forward that you're not ready for.

In Case You Missed It is the first story I've read by Lindsey Kelk and I'm looking forward to reading all of her previous work off the strength of this.

I love a Kelk creation just as much as the next person if not more! I was super thrilled to be given the opportunity to read ‘In Case You Missed It’ early and I just knew it had to jump straight to the top of my list.

‘In Case You Missed It’ centres around Rosiland who has returned back home from Washington DC where she produced podcasts. The life she expects to come back to isn’t at all what she expected. She is living in a shed at the bottom of her parent’s garden (yes it’s an actual shed!) and she has to look for a new job. Even though her life is chaotic at best I would absolutely love to be great friends with Ros. She brings back a lot of complicated feelings and I just wanted what was best for her.

Now it wouldn’t be a Kelk book without a great leading man to go along with the leading lady, and this book doesn’t disappoint on that. We meet Patrick and John. I had my opinions on both men and knew who I was going to back.

Lindsey certainly has a gift that just makes you want to hop inside of the pages of her stories and become part of life long friendships she creates. I’ve never been disappointed by her writing and I knew reading her latest wasn’t going to be any different! ‘In Case You Missed It’ is about finding yourself again and taking opportunities as they come along. It’s also about life, love and friendship ❤️ I give this charming story 5*/5* though it deserves a million 😊

Thank you to HarperCollins for an advanced copy of this book via Netgalley.

Oof this book hits close to home and because of that of course it is amazing. Lindsey Kelk has been making me laugh for over 10 years now and she continued to do so with this latest novel (believe me that is a big accomplishment in the climate we’re living in right now) I loved this book from start to finish and I think everyone should read it.



Ros is fab and is so easy to relate to. She finds herself moving back in with her parents after starting off a new life in Washington. I really felt for her having to do this and going back knowing there would be questions, I can literally still feel her pain now but thankfully she has an amazing group of friends who are there to cushion the blow.


I loved Ros’s friendship group and they represent a fairly typical friendship group for me, I really felt like they could have been my friends. Lucy is about to have a baby and brings all the fun and games involved with that. Adrian is single and really doesn’t have a clue about how real people live since he seems to be stinking rich and then there is Sumi, I love her and she and Jenny Lopez could totally take over the world. Sumi almost has it all and the things she doesn’t have yet, she is on her way to conquering-just fab.


Of course we have some love interest options in this book and I absolutely fell head over heels in love with bar wonder John. He is so generous and understanding and funny and helpful and we all need him in our lives. Then there is the love interest we love to hate and oh my goodness I hated him so much. Bravo to Lindsey Kelk for writing an amazing villain.


Ros is lucky enough to land a new job for a podcast production company and this is where we get to another thing that this author does so well, her books are always up to date and relevant and real with interesting and exciting corners of the internet and the job market in general. We cover Esports and a YouTube gamer child-star with the best character name ever! I do feel like this name was inspired by the movie Cats I have to say. But all of this is the reality of the market we live in, podcasts are massive and child YouTube billionaires are a real thing and so I loved reading about them in this novel.


The cast of characters in this novel is also wonderfully relevant and diverse and I love that Lindsey Kelk is doing what is often missing in modern romcom. We have characters who are non-white and non-straight, older characters enjoying a full sex life the representation in this novel is just on point and this is what elevates it from being a good novel to be a great novel and one you should definitely all read!

When Ros returns back to the UK under a shadow after living in America for three years she is put out to discover that her fabulous posse of carefree friends are now busy having babies, getting married and cutting nights out short to go to bed – even her middle aged parents have found a new lease of life and have turned the family home into a steamy love nest, forcing her to move into the garden shed. Still pining for her uncaring ex-boyfriend and out of touch with an entirely new job market, can Ros finally move on and find real happiness again?
.

‘In Case You Missed It’ is effortlessly hilarious from start to finish and I thoroughly enjoyed it – great characters, amazing dialogue and a fast moving and highly relatable plot. Lindsey Kelk is a modern comic writer at the top of her game and the novel is Contemporary Lit at its very best. Five well earned stars.


Many thanks to the Harper Collins, to Ms Kelk and to NetGalley for letting me read and review this brilliant book.

I love Lindsay Kelk books. Ros comes back to her home in England from America where she was a producer of a radio programme but she's been sacked. She expects everything to be exactly the same but soon discovers it's not

Another winner from Lindsey Kelk. I think I have read all of her books now and she rarely disappoints. I thoroughly enjoyed this story about Ros who returns home from working in the USA and wants everything to go back to how it was before she left. There's lots of fun to be had, and some life lessons to learn until she comes to realise that the present is what's important. There is a predictable "will they, won't they?" but it kept me wanting to read on to make sure the happy ending happened. A fun read.

Ros returns from America to live in her parents shed. Yes, it had been converted into a bedroom and bathroom but at 32 and unemployed it’s not really where you want to be. This book takes you on a journey that I’m sure many can relate to. Ros thinks her life pre America was amazing apart from the love of her life dumping her. She is reminiscent of the fun she had with her friends and is keen to recreate it. As is often the case her friends have moved on in their lives and Ros needs to move on too. Que new job and ex partner returns. This book has a good storyline and a splattering of humour. A nice easy read to escape into.
Many thanks to Netgalley, Lindsey Kelk and Harper Collins for the e book copy.

I’m a huge fan of Lindsey kelks writing and this one didn’t disappoint.
Snarky insecure main character -check
Blooming romance that’s never simple -check
Lots of funny over the top moments that are typical Kelk -check
I loved this book! Read in one sitting. Definitely recommend 💕

Lindsey Kelk you smashed it yet again!!! I absolutely adore all your books and this one is no different. Yet again I fell in love with all the characters and if I had a complaint it would only be that the book ended - I want to read more about Ros and her friends.

Ros returns from three years abroad working in America. With no job she is forced to move back in with her parents, who it would appear have rediscovered themselves and their love for one another. As she catches up with her besties, Sumi, Lucy and Adrian she finds out how life has moved on in her absence. They no longer want to hang out in the comfy old pub that was their go to place when they shared a flat but now go to this swanky new bar - a place that Ros doesn’t immediately gel with and gets off on the wrong foot with the owner, John.

A group text sent out to all her contacts with her new number has massive connotations. The main one being that it reconnects her with the man who broke her heart before she moved to America.

This book is hilarious and Lindsey Kelk just tells it how it is - no holds barred. All of which makes for a fantastic read. There are more than a few cringey moments which just make it all the better.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced read copy of this book in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

Returning back to the UK three years after leaving for her dream job in Washington DC. Everyone has moved on and Roz just wants everything to be the same as the day she left. The twists and turns of four friends and family members as Roz comes to the understanding that looking backwards means you miss the here and now and can miss chances for the future. Lindsey Kelk at her best.

Hilarious wonderful read!! Classic Lindsey Kelk at her best.
One of the funniest books I have read for a while! Loved it!
Ros comes home after working in America for 3 years, but life is not how she left it....her friends and family have moved on, she is jobless and living in her parent's garden shed!!
New opportunities open up from her old contacts on her new phone........how will she adapt with......
This book was quite unexpected with where it takes you, it is laugh out loud funny, with great characters and scenarios.
Highly recommended!!

Lindsey Kelk never fails! I feel like I’ve said this about a lot of different authors lately but all my faves seem to be stepping their game up! Lindsey’s books always make me giggle and the characters are always engaging. I absolutely loved the character of John and the supporting cast of Ros’ friends were all absolutely fab. I wish I could read a new book of Lindsey’s every month lol! Keep it up Kelk! Thank you to Netgalley, HarperCollins and the author for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

This was a rare beast; a chick lit with quality, well drawn characters, wit and a little pathos that was just enough to make me think and question what I'd do, if I'd want to go back and recreate that time that I think I loved.

Funnily enough I've read a gazillion second chance romance stories where the couple do get back in touch after being wrenched apart, they work to overcome whatever deeply held hostility/misunderstanding had got in between them and discover they were destined to be together after all so it made a really refreshing change to experience a totally different take on that trope. Just trying to recreate a perfect night out by doing it all again has never gone that well for me so I get it. I have to say this story kind of resonated with me - "memory believes before knowing remembers" as William Faulkener put it.

This wasn't just about Ros's love life though, I absolutely nloved her relationship with her friends and her family too. It was warm and uplifting to read and just genuinely funny, I had such a good time escaping into this book, I struggled to put it down.

I haven't read this author before but I enjoyed this one so much I'm going in search of more by her. A fab , undemanding and warm read. Recommended.I

**Thanks to the publishers via netgalley for my arc.**

A brilliant, fun, lighthearted book that is perfect for lockdown reading! Ros is a really likeable character and I thoroughly enjoyed reading about her life and loves. I’d definitely recommend

I absolutely loved this book. There were heart warming moments and laugh out loud moments too. I have loved all of Lindsey Kelk’s other books I have read and this one did not disappoint me at all. Highly recommended.

Relatable and nostalgic read, stayed up half the night to finish it!
I would love to have the friends Ros has, always there for one another and ready to party, her sisters a bit annoying though!
We all have that one person who got away, whether a good thing or not!
Would you try to reconnect? Or should the past be left in the past?
I loved the adventure and mishaps Ros gets herself into from falling over, hanging on a fence or failing abysmally in front of an audience, all adds up to a riveting read with a satisfying ending.

Firstly thank you to @harpercollinsuk and @netgalley for the review copy of this book. In Case You Missed It is @LindseyKelk’s next stand-alone novel, out at the end of July.

Where to start! Lindsey is one of my absolute go to authors. I’ve read all of her books and just like those books, I absolutely love, love, LOVED this.

Our main character is Ros. After living and working in Washington DC she finds herself abruptly uprooting her life and ending up living back at her parents (albeit not in the house), back at whatever the square before square one is and staring down the barrels of hiding the truth from everyone. A mis-text gets Ros back in touch with an old flame and nostalgia for how things used to be takes over.

Ros is a great character to read about. She’s real, down to earth and you can completely imagine being with her along the way. Lindsey writes with a great sarcasm and dry wit and I love how this comes out in her characters. Ros restarts her career and although it turns out to be completely different to how she imagined she battles on with a grim determination. I loved the portrayal of our sometimes ridiculous modern world and it’s place in the story.

The cast of secondary characters comprise of Ros’s friends; Suki, Adrian and Lucy; their new friend John and Ros’s ex Patrick. I loved all of the old and new friends but loathed Patrick in the same vein as Suki. I loved the support network that Ros had, especially her budding new relationship with John.

Packed with rollerskating, inappropriately dressed mothers and more than a few mishaps this is definitely the book you should reach for this summer. If you haven’t read any of Lindsey’s books before now is absolutely your chance!

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for an early review copy.

What a book!

Ros is a genuinely likable character, so we’re her friends Sumi, Lucy and even Adrian.

Her parents are I found fabulously bonkers with their antics and not to mention the shed, amongst others.

Fantastic adventures, some hilarious mishaps and lots of drama to keep you intrigued and invested and make up a fabulous book by Lindsey.

Ros has possibly the most hilarious (and embarrassing) parents in the world!
Returning from America after a failed attempt at a new life and career she moves temporarily back in with her parents only to discover that she has been relocated to the all new, singing and dancing, composting toileted garden shed!
Welcome but not quite welcome in the family home she sets out to rebuild her life via a job working with a seemingly obnoxious teen gamer whilst trying to rekindle a lost romance and generally getting into a bit of a mess.
Funny, real and relatable!

I have been reading Lindsey Kelk for years and was gutted when the I heart series ended so jumped at the chance to read this and although predictable it did not disappoint. I love how you always know what you are going to get with a Lindsey Kelk book - an easy, hilarious, addictive read.

This one follows Ros who returns home from the States to find she wants her old life back which has moved on without her. I laughed all the way through this book and finished it feeling happy. Would absolutely recommend.

Quite possibly my favourite Lindsey Kelk book to date! I'm fairly certain that Ros is the most relatable character I have read from her and I know we've all had a Patrick in our lives at some stage!

I loved all of this book, Ros's parents are hilarious and I would love to have her friendship group, especially her new friend John. I just wasn't much of a fan of Jo!

I think this is one of the books where I was left wanting more. It didn't feel finished to me? I want to know more about Johns ex. Does he manage to buy her out in the future. Does she make things awkward for Ros and John in the future. Also does Sumi manage to have her baby? Does Lucy put up with creepy Dave?

Even if this is a standalone I must say I'm quite happy with the ending but I would love to see more from these characters because they all have a story to tell.

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.

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

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.

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.

This is a brilliant read!! Simple as that. I absolutely fell in love with the character of Ros. I think she may be the most memorable of all the characters Lindsey Kelk has ever written! Plus I quickly became so invested in the story that I raced through the book. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

This is the first book I have read by this author, I requested and was granted this ARC copy to read/review, I am really glad I did.

A beautifully told story with great and development and lots of laugh out loud moments, such a sweet funny romance that flows easily. An honest portrayal of falling in love. I absolutely love this author's realistic writing style, with clear and convincing dialogue between the characters, she has the ability draw her readers into the story, making me feel as if you are right there. Real and honest characters that were greatly developed and blended well .

I certainly enjoyed this romance and would highly recommended. Thank you LK 😁

As usual in my reviews, I will not rehash the plot (plenty of reviews doing exactly that if you're looking for that sort of thing).

This is a light and fun read - absolutely perfect for the trying times we find ourselves in at present - and it made me laugh out loud several times.

Parts of the satisfyingly chaotic (to keep it lifelike!) plot could start to seem a teeny bit predictable, but then come a series of twists to keep you on your toes.

I sympathised with Ros's precarious situation on arriving back in Blighty and her determination to improve her lot, and was delighted when she succeeded (in a random alignment of the stars). As the parent of a gaming-mad teenager, her new job sounded entirely believable (as did Ted and the others at PodPad!).

There are some fabulous characters, and I really warmed to some of them (Ros herself, Simi, Adrian, John, Veronica and her protege). Ros's parents are characters (her Mum in particular sounds great) and their "exploits" are hilarious - I will never be able to look at sushi in the same light again!!!

Is there a happy ending? Well you'll have to read it for yourself and find out!

I haven't read any other novels by Lindsey Kelk, but after this she's certainly on my "happy to read" list and I'll definitely seek out her other works.

My thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for an ARC. All opinions my own.

Have I loved Lindsey Kelk books from the very start? Yes
Is there any of her books I’ve not loved? No
Did I love ‘In Case You Missed It?’ You bet.

I was completely involved in this story from the start, Ros is a great character even if a little reluctant to ‘let go’ of the past.

In Case You Missed It is about Ros who has come back from working in America, having to live with her parents in a shed and finds herself reconnecting with the love she left behind - Patrick. He is not the most likeable character you will ever come across; he is selfish, arrogant and only wants Ros when it suits him. Ros is determined this her second chance at getting the relationship right, she is determined the future can be perfect now they are back in each other’s lives, they love each other and that’s all that matters.

Her friendship group – Sumi, Lucy and Adrian are just the absolute best (they do not like Patrick at all). I wish I could be part of that group, they sounded so much fun. They are caring, compassionate and understanding but not afraid to deliver some serious home truths to Ros – which she does need on occasion.

Ros’ parents are an absolute hoot, they provide some wonderful comedic moments that had me laughing out loud. I’ll never picture sushi in the same way anymore.

Lindsey’s writing style is what sets her books apart from others. It’s fun and humorous, modern, and the books are always relatable to so many. This book is a great celebration of reconnecting with the people who push us forward, support us and purely have our best interests at heart. It is a tale of second chances and realising there is nothing wrong with leaving the past where it belongs.

In Case You Missed It is a wonderful mis of drama, emotion, romance, and humour. It is a gorgeous read that you will want to devour all in one go!

Thank you to NetGalley for gifting me this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
