I Heart New York || Lindsey Kelk


Last year I reviewed 'I Heart Christmas' by Lindsey Kelk and because I enjoyed it so much I bought 'I Heart New York' also written by her. All the I Heart books are written about the same character Angela Clark who runs away to New York to escape after a bad break up with her boyfriend.

This book is all about why Angela leaves London, her adventures in New York, her blogging job that she lands and her decision to stay in New York/go back home to London. Shortly after arriving to New York Angela meets a friend who takes her under her wing, helps her to try recover from her breakup and gives her a guide to New York living. The books main themes are break ups, friendship, dating and New York. 

I've never been to New York but this book almost makes me feel like I have because of it's stunning descriptions and all the names of different places and streets. Like Lindsey's last book it had parts that  had me laughing out loud and parts that had me feeling upset for the characters. It has also left me with even more of a burning desire to visit New York and at the back this book also has a whole section of tips on best hotels in NYC and restaurants to go to. It also has clubs that are good and shops that are a must visit and all the addresses and numbers of these places.

It's a good chick flick read and I can imagine it would be an amazing read for anybody going through a break up since thats what the book is about, it will make yours seem not as bad whilst cheering you up! I'm actually really sad that this book has finished now but I do already have another one of Kelks 'I Heart Las Vegas' on my bookshelf ready to read which going by the last two books I've read I'm sure it will be amazing.

Lindsey Kelk actually tweeted me after I posted a picture of her and Tanya's book together saying that they looked like a good pairing to her, I had a bit of a 'fan girl' moment.

Have you read any of the I Heart series?

Lots of Love,

My To Read List


One of my New Years Resolutions was to read more because it's something that I love doing but just never make the time to do. I don't think there is much more relaxing than sinking into a bubble bath (maybe with a glass of bubbly/wine in hand) and reading a good book. 

I've tried to read more before and failed but this year I really want to make the time for it and include more book reviews on my blog. I thought I'd give you a sneak peek of some of the books from my bookshelf that are on the 'to read' list. Let me know if there is any in particular you'd like to see a review on.

I have a few chick flick ones like Sophie Kinsella and Lindsey Kelk books, The Husbands Secret which looks more like its on the darker side of chick flick and I also can't wait to read the much loved Little Coffee Shop in Kabul. The last book that I'm looking forward to reading is Silent Night which is a book about the first world war when the soldiers stopped fighting to play football on Christmas night.


Have you tried any of these books? Are there any particular books you would like to see a review on/recommend me to read?

Lots of Love,
