‘Perfect sunlounger escapism. Emily Kerr has a real knack of telling properly swoony love stories whilst taking the reader on a gorgeous holiday’ PERNILLE HUGHES
The brand new laugh-out-loud summer romcom for 2022! Perfect for fans of Cressida McLaughlin, Mandy Baggot and Heidi Swain

When Lydia wakes up after a wild night out in Kefalonia with a tattoo saying ‘Awesome Andreas’, she’s mortified. She doesn’t remember meeting anyone called Andreas. And after all, she’s an accountant with a five-year plan. She’s definitely not a party girl.

The sensible thing to do would be to research how to get the tattoo removed and move on with her safe and steady life. But she’s had enough of being predictable.

Instead, Lydia decides to track down the mysterious Andreas, but the path to true love is never simple. As she goes from one disastrous date to another, she starts to lose hope in ever finding him. Perhaps Lydia is looking in the wrong places, and the right man for her is just next door, if only she’d take a chance on him . . .

Take A Chance on Greece by Emily Kerr is a delightful and humorous story about Lydia, a woman who wakes up with a tattoo of a man's name and has no recollection of how she got it. The story takes her on a journey of self-discovery as she tries to uncover the origins of the tattoo, and it changes her life entirely.

This is an enchanting and heartening read that left me thoroughly entertained. While the story does involve the search for love, the main character Lydia also goes through a significant personal transformation. Her friends provide unwavering support throughout her journey, offering helpful dating advice and constant companionship. The charming local bookshop owner, Alexis, also plays a crucial role in Lydia's quest to find her ideal partner, leading her on a humorous and occasionally frustrating search for the elusive "Awesome Andreas."

Unfortunately, Lydia's attempts to locate her dream man lead her down some unexpected paths, including encounters with an arrogant and a married Andreas. However, just when she believes she has found her match, a surprising twist alters the course of her journey, keeping the reader on the edge of their seat until the very end.

Overall, the author has written a captivating narrative with friendly characters that will leave a lasting impression. If you're looking for a light-hearted summer read, I highly recommend "Take a Chance on Greece" by Emily Kerr.

Publication Day Review: Duvet Day by Emily Kerr

Young lawyer Alexa Humphries’s one true love is her precious duvet, yet she is torn from its comforting embrace every morning while the foxes are still scavenging the bins outside and doesn’t get back until long after most normal people are already asleep. Worn down by the endless demands of her suspicious boss and her competitive, high-flying housemate and fellow lawyer, Zara, Alexa barely recognises herself anymore. This wasn’t how life was supposed to be.

But today is different. Today, Alexa just cannot get out of bed to face the world. Everyone deserves a duvet day, don’t they?

But what starts as a mini-rebellion against the tyranny of her job soon sees her locked out of the flat wearing nothing but a unicorn onesie and what’s left of her dignity. Desperate to track down a spare set of keys before her back-stabbing housemate finds out she’s pulled a sickie, Alexa sets off on a wild goose chase across London. Before long, she’s being blackmailed by an annoyingly handsome photo-journalist, forcing her to trail after him while the hours before she has to get home tick down.

As Alexa’s dreams of Netflix and self-care turn into the duvet day from hell, what’s starting to feel a lot like the beginning of a breakdown might actually be the making of her. Will she get home in time to keep her job … and does she even want to?

Throwing a sickie to stay and snuggle up in bed and binge-watch a series or two… well, that's the plan…

Stressed Alexa Humphries decides to have a cosy day in bed with her beloved duvet; overworked, exhausted and unappreciated she wants a day free from her corporate job as a young lawyer. However, her plans quickly turn on its head as she embarks on an unexpected day to remember.

With a short timeline, the author packs much into the storyline yet it's not overwhelming. Alexa is both likeable and relatable as she muddles her way around London. There's hardly a dull moment with this plot twisty novel...and after diving into this blind, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. So, as the narrative unfolds, I enjoyed each surprise and development as Alexa's day progresses. Professional rivalry, romance and deceit are present during the day-long drama but, along with plenty of laughs, it all ends with a happy and satisfying ending.

To sum up; this novel is so much fun and a perfect distraction on a rainy day!
