Rachel Ryan's Resolutions: A heartwarming, laugh out loud romantic comedy for 2021 by Laura StarkeyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Rachel Ryan works in advertising. She might be thirty and single, but she has her best friend Anna, Anna's boyfriend, and his flatmate - together they spend evenings and weekends together as a group.
Then Rachel's world is turned topsy-turvey, her agency is bought by a large Manchester firm and her college ex Jack Harper (who cheated on her and broker her heart) is part of the Manchester team, not only that, he's also joining the London office and Rachel has got a big promotion, but it means that she has to work with Jack on a series of difficult not-for-profit accounts.
Rachel thinks she's immune to Jack's good looks and charm, but soon she starts to fall for his smiles and awe-shucks eye-rolls. Can she keep his past behaviour in mind or has he really turned over a new leaf?
I thought Laura Starkey did this very well, too often the reader sees or guesses something that is resolutely kept secret (if that makes sense) which can become frustrating, in this case Laura only keeps the reader in suspense for a short time before revealing the love interest's feelings - now we just need Rachel to catch a clue LOL.
Funny, charming, with a bit of a tear-jerker in the middle, this was a great fun read.
