Rosalind Reynolds has just returned home and is ready for a fresh start. She's been away, working in America, for the last three years. Ros is not only in need of a new job, but also a new flat because her parents have rekindled their sex life and relegated her to the garden shed. It seems like everyone but her has moved on and it's making Ros nostalgic for the way things were.
After sending out a mass text to let everyone know that she's back in England, Ros' phone is blowing up with messages from her old life three years ago. This includes one from a number that she thought she had erased—there's a text from the man who broke her heart.
Could a missed chance in life be a second chance in love?
Having been a fan of the I Heart series and We Were on a Break, I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book! What I love most about Kelk is that she writes characters that could totally be your best mates. They are realistic, relatable, and a bit cheeky. She also has an impeccable ear for dialogue.
Our heroine is charming, smart, and funny. Because all of her friends have moved on, Ros clings to the past—it is familiar and safe. Unfortunately, this also means reconnecting with her ex, Patrick. She is feeling the constraints of what's expected of her, especially with all of her friends doing more adult things with their lives. I think it's safe to say that most of us have experienced these societal pressures on some level at one point or another in our lives. Again, totally relatable.
The supporting cast is just as strong and that's no small feat. I absolutely adored Sumi. She is the best friend that every girl needs! She's got your best interest at heart at all times, but she's not afraid to tell you the truth.
Lindsey Kelk, can we be friends? Like seriously...I absolutely adore your writing. You are witty, warm, and fabulous. In Case You Missed It is absolutely delightful and I have a massive book hangover.
