Emily is trying to get over a bad break-up. Her ex-boyfriend had been cheating on her for the last six months of their five year relationship. Only she can't stop torturing herself by looking at her ex on social media where he just posed about his engagement to the very same girl!
An introvert, Emily is more comfortable hiding behind a screen than to go out and meet someone. However, she's not having any luck with online dating so her best friend, Chloe, suggests that she unplug and instead, attend events geared towards singles. The very thought of actually doing this is giving Emily some anxiety.
But then she meets Josh. He is funny, handsome, and above all, kind. He almost seems to good to be true. Emily's hunch may be right when she suspects that he is hiding something. Should she give him a chance and fall in love the old fashioned way, or go back online and protect her heart?
If you are a fan of Sophie Kinsella and Lindsey Kelk, then this book is for you! Love Offline is a rom-com for the modern woman.
Those of you who are regular readers know how much I adore British authors and Olivia Spring is definitely one that I never pass on. She injects humour and heat throughout her books (warning: some may be offended at the language and sex scenes) and I love her phrasing. Her writing is clever, fresh and a contemporary take on a love story.
I adored Chloe and Emily—their friendship was so endearing. Chloe also brings cake in a crisis. Doesn't every woman need a Chloe in their life? Spring pens some strong female characters and although Emily doesn't appear to be strong because she is an introvert, she is forced outside her comfort zone in order to get out and actually meet people versus just swiping, and as a result experiences growth in more than just in the romantic/relationship sense. What I also liked was the comment on social media and online dating, and how things work, or...don't.
Olivia, congratulations on another smart, sexy, and fabulous book!
OLIVIA SPRING is a PR professional from London. She loves cake and has always wanted to be a writer. Because she still works in public relations, she adopted a pen name to spare the embarrassment of any clients that may read anything racy.
