Love Your Life: The joyful and romantic new novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author

Product Information

From the number one New York Times best-selling author of I Owe You One , an utterly delightful novel about a woman who ditches her dating app for a writer's retreat in Italy - only to find that real love comes with its own filters. Well, OK, I have, but the point is, I’m deleting them from my mind. All gone. Seth who? Date? What?

Nell’s hair color has changed about 106 times over the years that I’ve known her, whereas mine hasn’t changed once. It’s still the same dark auburn, straight down to my shoulders, easy to swish into a ponytail. Today, Kinsella is still on top (somewhat because I'm nostalgic, but also because her writing style is simply amazing), even though I don't think Love Your Life was a masterpiece I hoped it would be. I received this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. ❃ That's when Ava suggests the brilliant concept of discovering 'Ava-land' and 'Matt-land' as a way for them to get to know more about each other. So the plan of getting to know each other's friends, Eva getting to know Matt's family, Matt getting to know more about Eva's dog, Harold, begins. But will it go wonderfully right or horribly wrong? I give this book 4-plus stars. It’s a great, heartwarming escape when you need a little runaway time to another place where you can feel good about life, love and the world (like say in the middle of a pandemic or a contentious presidential election).

I have always loved Sophie Kinsella’s books! Can You Keep A Secret and I’ve Got Your Number are two of my favorite books. However, I had felt it hard to connect with her last couple books and was questioning whether she would remain an auto-read author for me. I am happy to see Love Your Life redeemed her for me and I really enjoyed the book. It features romantic and whimsical Ava who is an aspiring writer that attends a writing retreat in Italy where you have to call everyone by an alias. Ava who is now “Aria” meets “Dutch” at the retreat and the two instantly connect and fall into a whirlwind romance. By the end of the retreat their feelings have evolved and they both believe they are in love and want to try their hand at a real relationship in the real world. An utterly delightful novel about a woman who ditches her dating app for a writer's retreat in Italy--only to find that real love comes with its own filters

I eye-roll very deliberately toward the phone. Although I know he can’t see me, I have this very slight theory that you can somehow convey emotions through your phone.

Ever since I started reading for pleasure, I consider Sophie Kinsella one of my favourite authors. After all, her book (Shopaholic) is the one that showed me how fun reading can be. I am a big Sophie Kinsella fan and have read the majority of her books. I actually prefer her standalone novels over the Shopaholic series. So of course I was excited to get my hands on a copy of this book. Unfortunately I wouldn't place this one among my favorites but everything came together quite nicely by the end so at least I finished it on a positive note. Special thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review
