About this deal

Our hero, Roman, the best friend of the groom, is also one of the only single people at the wedding, so naturally Samantha and Roman were drawn to each other. I forced myself to read it because I was sitting on a train for more than 2 hours and had nothing else to entertain myself with. Like I said in one of my updates, the general plot wasn’t really for me because I don’t really love instant love or romances about quick flings but my dislike for this goes deeper than that. Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York has also produced a best-selling romance with her family-inspired historical, Her Heart For A Compass, alongside Marguerite Kaye. It was evidently obvious that it was the first time the author was narrating a book and wasn't coming from much experience which made the experience even more uneventful as I wasn't digging the story or plot at all.

In all honesty I was going to dnf this 5 minutes into chapter 1 but Amber from love island had written a book and I wanted to give a full review after reading the whole thing and loves if your like me and has told yourself you will no longer put yourself through bad books don't read this. As I was coming to the end of Until I Met You again, [this time] speaking it, I was like, “I wonder if there could be a follow-on for any of these characters?This coming year promises to be an equally exciting time with the launch of a new product range and a TV show. Their chemistry is apparent in UNTIL I MET YOU as they banter back and forth and soon develop a friendship. The author herself narrates the audiobook and she CLEARLY has no experience, or talent, in doing so.

When you have a platform you either make a conscious decision to be neutral or stand up for what you believe in,” she says. I’ve always loved romantic fiction since I was young, but I didn’t appreciate then that there was a lack of diversity and ethnic representation among the characters,” she says.Gill, who talked openly about putting on weight during lockdown, says she tries to spread a “body positive” message: “People my age on Insta and TikTok try to present a perfect image 24/7. Besides the beautiful descriptions of Tobago, that feeling of the fleeting nature of those moments on vacation, free from your regular life and with friends, were captured well. I didn't know what to expect as I had no idea who amber Rose Gill was but knowing the book was set in Tobago intrigued me as a Trini. Truthfully I am not the biggest fan of “insta love” scenarios like this but the author did a great job of making it feel realistic.

I loved the diversity and the way I could sense Ambers personality and manner of speaking through the blog drafts.That being said, the story was easy to follow, and the spanner thrown in the works at the end was the slight twist that was needed (even though it could have been written better and has still left me with some questions). Inspirational travel blogger Samantha Roberts is excited about escaping to Tobago with the love of her life to attend her friend Naomi’s destination wedding—and hopefully get a proposal of her own. It’s really hard because people painted me out to be a bad person, like I was trying to split up a relationship, like I was a homewrecker. She has since proven herself to be an influential entrepreneur who has launched her own fitness business AmberFlexx and a premium skincare brand. The storyline had so much potential when I read the blurb, but this just didn’t hit the mark for me.
