Lovestruck in London by Rachel Schurig
4.0

Really enjoyed

I really liked this book, so much so that I’m going to straight away buy the second one and start reading it.
It was a fast-paced love story with no annoying (in my opinion) love triangles or complications, just a simple boy meets girl and they fall in love. Whilst I loved that the story got straight in to it without too much h of a slow burn, I did feel there were certain aspects of the book that were rushed and could have been explored more. However this meant that the book was a nice length, pretty short and no filler chapters.
I love London as the setting, and felt as if I had been transported to all the places visited as well with such wonderful descriptions in place.
I would have preferred a bit more character depth, I think we only touched on the surface with them however I know that may be addressed in the next book.
However even the supporting characters I feel we could have got a bit more time with. Understandably this is a romance centred on Lizzie and Thomas but sometimes it was too much then. For example Lizzie moves to London with Callie and then once Thomas is introduced we completely loose Callie. I would have liked to have seen more interaction between the two girls in this life changing journey together instead of just Thomas and Lizzie.
Lastly, a personal irk is the fact that we don’t know if the couple end up sleeping together. This book is zero steam - but it’s a good thing because it’s a cute romance - but I would have liked to know if it had happened because it actually is a bit of a plot point. Instead we’re just left with a maybe and never w confirmation
