My Thoughts
The Start of something wonderful is the author’s debut novel and what a delightful uplifting story it is. It is so bloody funny you will be crying with laughter. This is definitely what a romantic comedy is all about.
Having listening to this on audio has well has reading it I have to say that the narrator has done a brilliant job of portraying the characters. Where she actually made me feel like she was Emily and I was listening to her story.
The start of something knew Wonderful a story about grabbing life by the horns and it’s not too late to follow your dreams In this story we meet Forty-year-old air stewardess, Emily Forsyth and what a character she is. I could certainly see me have an epic night out with her.
After Emily’s boyfriend breaks up with her she decides to turn her life upside-down, quitting her job and instead beginning to chase her long-held dreams of becoming an actress! Where we follow Emily’s Upbeat and comical adventure in the London’s west end.
The story is told from Emily’s POV which I am not always a fan of BUT the author has wrote it in a way that I felt like Emily was actually telling me face to face her story. Which made me feel part of the story.
Very addictive story telling in fact I devoured this, in one day I couldn’t wait to find out what was going to happen to Emily next. This is a highly entertaining and uplifting read which is perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella and Colleen Coleman, which I highly recommend.
Thank you to Rachel Gilby for having me on board.

Was the author the narrator? I heard her read from this a while back at an Edinburgh Fringe festival event and she was brilliant!
