Love Songs For Sceptics | Christina Pishiris | Review

Blurb

My brother’s getting married in a few weeks and asked for help picking a song for his first dance. I suggested Kiss’s ‘Love’s a Slap in the Face’.

It didn’t go down well.

When she was a teenager, Zoë Frixos fell in love with Simon Baxter, her best friend and the boy next door. But his family moved to America before she could tell him how she felt and, like a scratched record, she’s never quite moved on. Now, almost twenty years later, Simon is heading back to London, newly single and as charming as ever . . .

But as obstacles continue to get in her way – Simon’s perfect ex-girlfriend, her brother’s big(ish) fat(ish) Greek wedding, and an obnoxious publicist determined to ruin her career – Zoë begins to wonder whether, after all these years, she and Simon just aren’t meant to be.

What if, despite what all the songs and movies say, your first love isn't always all it's cracked up to be? What if, instead Zoë and Simon are forever destined to shuffle around their feelings for each other, never quite getting the steps right . . .

Review

Do you know when a book comes along and steals your heart? ...this is that book and I have so so much love for it!

This novel was an absolute delight! Zoe is a believable relatable heroine - quick-witted, no-nonsense taking & a complete love cynic (with the job of dreams!).  Brimming with laugh-out-loud moments and a few tear full ones too.

If that wasn't enough the chapters are all named after song titles which are so utterly brilliant (off I go to make a Love Song For Sceptics inspired playlist!). Keep your eyes peeled for the hidden lyrics and other gems. 

Honestly, if you are looking for some feel-good fiction that will keep you hooked. Look no further, you have found it! Love in all forms, I cannot recommend it more highly. Buy it. Read it. Love it.

Pishiris my only request is can you write the next one quickly, please!

A huge thanks to Anne Cater & Simon and Schuster for gifting me a copy in return for an open & honest review.
