This was such a feel good, lighthearted, summer read. Right from the beginning I was hooked, and didn’t want to put the book down. This book is filled with it all, humor, love, chemistry, tension, and great characters! This book will have you laughing the whole time. The author does a great job at creating relatable characters and showing growth with them. This was my first book by this author, but it certainly won’t be my last. I highly recommend checking this book out!

I found this one a little slow to start, but the characters were great and the tension/chemistry were very well done. The Cyrano-type story was an interesting setup and not one I've ready many times before. I also liked the angle of a British character experiencing the U.S. for the first time.

Honestly, this book was not it for me. I really wanted to love it, but I just didn’t.

I was very bored, nothing really happened until the end and even then it was just very predictable. I also didn’t love the characters or feel any kind of connection to them. :(

Two stars because It has the potential to be a really cute read, it just needs MORE.

Kelk’s romances are pretty fun and even though they can cover some more serious topics, the overall tone stays light. This book was cute, filled with unlikely friendships, holiday fiascos, and a swoony romance. I didn’t expect it to have a Cyrano-esque plot, but still enjoyed it.

This one was a cute summer love story. Rated as four stars GR, but it fits more like 3.5 instead. Rom Coms are becoming increasingly harder for me to enjoy, but if you love Rom Coms, definitely give this one a shot. The love letters were a fun take with this, neighbors, friendship and love all hit marks with this one.

Wonderful story to read - I recommend that you add to your list. Happy reading!

I was not sure what to expect from this book but I was not disappointed. This was such a fun and easygoing read that had all the California summer vibes. At the beginning of the story, I was not really invested in the characters but after getting about 50% of the way into the book I was really liking the development of Phoebe. Over all this was a really enjoyable read.

Love Me Do is laugh out loud funny! Phoebe Chapman arrives in LA looking to spend time with her sister while on Holiday. When her sister abruptly leaves on a work trip upon Phoebe’s arrival, Phoebe finds herself playing matchmaker with her sisters trainer, Bel and neighbor, Ren, and becoming friends with an 82 year old former actress.

I absolutely loved the banter in this book. It was perfectly placed and had me giggling throughout. I loved the storyline set in LA and the characters were so lovable. Phoebe was hilarious, you couldn’t help but root for fun loving Bel, and Myrna was EVERYTHING. Ren felt a little mundane to me, nothing to love but didn’t dislike. This book had all the makings for the perfect rom com however, slightly missed the mark for me. I found myself lost in multiple storylines and throughout the middle it fell a little flat, finding myself losing excitement. All though the conclusion felt complete to me, I was hoping for a little bit more. Overall, I enjoyed this book but wanted to love it more.

Review: Very fun and charming quick read! I loved *almost* every second of this story. I enjoyed all the characters and how they interacted and I really connected with Phoebe and found myself having manny things in common with her. I did feel that there was an odd chapter or two in the middle where a few things that didn’t add up and the timeline was confusing and I would’ve loved an epilogue as I felt things wrapped up too quickly at the end.

✨there’s only two kinds of people in the world - Disney people and people who don’t know that they’re Disney people ✨

4.5 stars. This was so cute!! Loved the cast of characters and the way the author described LA made me want to book a flight ASAP. I'd love to see more books where Bel and Suzanne fine love! Maybe even Myrna haha

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this eARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was a cute funny story, although I didn't appreciate the dishonesty that plays a major role in the plot. I wonder if that could have been done differently. It definitely resolves too easily as well.

Otherwise I enjoyed uptight British Phoebe getting a taste of life in Los Angeles. There was great humor throughout the book and vivid descriptions. I loved that one character is an avid birdwatcher and how that shows up in the scenes.

Highly recommend for romance readers.

Phoebe Chapman leaves the UK to visit her sister in Los Angeles for a much-needed two-week vacation. What she doesn’t know is that her sister has a work emergency that sends her to Seattle for nearly all of Phoebe’s vacation. Phoebe thinks she will spend her time relaxing at her sister’s lavish LA home but instead meets her sister’s personal trainer and plays matchmaker setting up the trainer and her sister’s neighbor.

I love stories where the author puts time and effort into developing the supporting characters. I like Phoebe, but the supporting cast made me enjoy the story so much. Bel is a bit over the top but fits her role well. Ren, the handsome neighbor, is the ideal love interest, and I honestly wish I could become friends with Myrna Moore instead of Phoebe.

Most of the novel is fun and quirky, but there are also areas of sincerity and depth. Phoebe and Suzanne’s relationship is true sisterly love, but they were raised to keep everything inside, build up walls around their emotions, and definitely, do not ask for help. I love that Lindsey Kelk adds this into the story and challenges the less tolerant ways many people have been raised, particularly in precious generations. But she does so in a respectful manner, not blaming those who came before us, instead acknowledging that we know more and can do better.

There’s so much to love in Love Me Do. A main character from the UK, handsome MMC, L.A. and Hollywood vibes, LGBTQ rep, multiple generations, reminiscing happy memories, and much more.

Thank you NetGalley and Harper Collins 360 for the advanced digital copy in exchange for my honest review.

I loved this book so much! I thought the characters were all so fun and quirky, I really loved their banter. This book took me through all the feels and I was honestly sad when I realized how fast I read it. This is my first book by this author and I can’t wait to read more!

A sweet fun romance with lovable characters this is the perfect summer romance book ! I really am just obsessed with this cover !

Lindsey Kelk is a favorite of mine, mainly because I love British banter. This one didn’t disappoint. From the pop culture references, to the blossoming relationships, to Myrna making me laugh out loud, I really enjoyed this book. Kelk has an amazing way of creating friendships and friendship groups in her stories, and I loved that about this one too.

Thank you to NetGalley and the author for an eARC of this book!

My first book by Lindsey Kelk, and I’d definitely like to read more by her. A cute read, perfect summer read.

Enter the sizzling hot neighbor, Ren, and the sister's personal trainer, Bel. Phoebe morphs into Cyrano de Bergerac, penning love letters as "Bel" and going undercover on dates. 🔥💘
Now, let me tell you, this book is your ultimate poolside companion. 🏊‍♀️🌞 It's a whirlwind of humor, emotions, and summer vibes. 🌴😂 You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll definitely swoon.
But here's the kicker: it's not just about romance; it's about friendships blossoming like the California sunshine 🌞🤗. Watching Phoebe grow is like witnessing a desert flower bloom after a rainstorm. 🌼💧
So, if you're looking for a quick, hilarious, and heartwarming read, grab this book ASAP! 🏃‍♀️💨 Phoebe's adventures will leave you smiling from ear to ear. 😁📚

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this ARC publication for an honest review.

This was a super cute read that satisfied my romantic heart! Phoebe is our female lead who after leaving an abusive ex goes to California to spend the summer with her sister (who gets called away for work as soon as she arrives.) There is a fun meet-cute with the neighbor Ren who Phoebe develops a crush...but then she befriends Bel who she finds out thinks Ren is the love of her life (even though she has never spent any time with him and doesn't really know him!) Phoebe puts aside her feelings for Ren and agrees to be "Cyrano DeBergerac" for Bel to win him over with love letters written by her. I adored the interactions and situations between Phoebe and Ren, but honestly was not a big fan of Bel. The storyline is kind of predictable, but still fun to get to the happily ever after we get through the needed angst. An absolute bonus was the elderly starlet, Myrna. What a hoot!

4 stars

This was such a great light-hearted love story. The British banter was soo good. Phoebe is such a good friend by trying to push her feelings away for her newly found friend.
I really wish there was an epilogue because I crave more and more of Phoebe and Ren's story!!

Such an easy read!
4/5 stars

I don't know if I really enjoyed this one. I really liked the writing and I adored the characters that I met throughout the story. I don't think the story really pulled me in. I want to try more of this author to see if I do enjoy her stories. This was light and easy.
