Book Synopsis:
Recently dumped by her boyfriend of ten years, Bell is struggling to move on with her life – and surrender the fleecy pyjamas she’s been living in since January. Haunted by #blessed on social media, she can’t help but compare her life to those she follows online, wondering where she is going wrong . . .
In the world of social media, Millie is the successful online influencer @mi_bestlife. But in real life she’s just a regular single mum trying to make ends meet, while fending off the younger competition and tenacious internet trolls. Her Instagram feed is far more #BestLie than #BestLife, and soon Millie begins to wish her life was more like her filters.
It isn’t until Bell and Millie’s paths cross that they begin to realise what they’re both missing. Can Millie prove to Bell that life online isn’t always what it appears to be? And in return, can Millie learn that she needs to start living for the moment and not for the likes?

My Review:
I thought this was a wonderfully uplifting, funny book which was hugely enjoyable.
I really loved the two main characters Bel and Millie who I enjoyed getting to know throughout the book. Their blossoming friendship was great to read about and I found it very heartwarming to see how much the relationship meant to the two women.
The story is given a bit of modern twist with the inclusion of social media and how someone who appears perfect online, might not be in real life. I feel this is quite an important lesson to learn so found it interesting to see this storyline develop. I think this could make a great book club read as it could lead to some important discussions.
Overall I thought this was a fun, heartwarming book that would make a great holiday read. It has all the ingredients I enjoy, with a wonderful female friendship, romance and laugh aloud moments which I tore through in record time. This is the author’s debut novel and I’m very excited to read more from her in the future.
Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Simon and Schuster for my copy of this book.
