WILL THEY, WON'T THEY?

 



SYNOPSIS

When life goes off track sometimes the only thing you can do is go back to where it all began...

Emmy Palmer is the star of Bragadon Forest, the biggest fantasy series on TV; adored by the public, living the life of glamour and luxury in London.

But when scandal breaks, Emmy must escape the city and return to her seaside hometown to lie low and wait for the storm to pass. And as tragedy strikes for her family, it is good timing to go back to her roots.

Emmy's agent decides it would be a good look to star in the community Christmas pantomime, but who else could be playing her leading man but her ex-boyfriend who she may or may not have ditched to move to London a decade ago...

As the show approaches, love and friendships blossom and the real question is - Will they? Won't they?

REVIEW


RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


I’ve now read seven Portia MacIntosh books in the last couple of years and I can say without fear of being wrong that she’s one of the best in the rom-com genre. I’ve yet to find one of her books I don’t like. Her stories always bring a smile to my face and I’ve come to a point where I just pick them without even reading the synopsis first.


Meet Emmy (lia Clarke) Palmer, an actress on a huge fantasy tv show who’ve just been killed (her character, I mean!) Jobless and with her name across the tabloids after a scandal, she flees to her hometown to lie low. There she reunites with some old friends who ask for her help in the Christmas pantomime where she will star alongside her ex-crush. Will the old flame ignite again?


I loved Emmy’s character. I liked that she was down to earth despite being a big star and how she helped everyone, even those she didn’t have a great relationship with.


Her family included some hilarious characters like her auntie Vee, and I liked the different dynamics she had with each of them.


The group of actors in the panto was also a diverse one and I wouldn’t have minded seeing a bit more about some of them. As usual, the love interest was quite dreamy. Just two words: THE WINDOW! Marry me right now!


There were a couple of incidents that could have been a bit more developed, the talk with her dad about their history and the one with the cast party (it felt a bit out of left field with several characters showing a completely different face all of a sudden).


I loved going back to Marram Bay. It’s such a gorgeous setting and I adore the sense of community that is always breathed there.


A super enjoyable read with lots of funny, hilarious and also, heartfelt moments. With Will They, Won’t They? Portia MacIntosh confirmed herself as one of my favorite authors.


Thanks to NetGalley and Boldwood Books for providing an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

HELLO, IT’S ME!

  I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to read... MY BRAND NEW BLOG! (Look at me plagiarazing   drawing inspiration from Adele for my very first entry).                                                               She approves! So, if you're here reading this...THANK YOU for tuning in! For those who don't know me my name is Javier and after more than a year writing reviews on sites as Goodreads and NetGalley I decided to create my own blog to share my love of books with the world. When I first started writing reviews I was not able to put two sentences together, but as I kept writing I realized I had lots to say about the books I read. Rest assured my reviews will always be honest (no problems here telling when I don't like something) and spoiler free (I hate spoilers!). My personal preferences are:...
