Blog Tour Stop - Catch Me If You Cannes by Lisa Dickenson

 
Welcome to my stop on the Catch Me If You Cannes blog tour! I'm so excited for the world to read this little gem!
 
 


Published 4th May 2017
Paperback Original | £8.99


What They Say:


Romantic, funny and full of Cannes film festival magic, Catch Me If You Cannes is the story of two friends, a few white lies and one very sticky situation . . . Perfect for fans of Giovanna Fletcher, Paige Toon and Mhairi McFarlane.


Jess has decided it's time to get out of her comfort zone and live a little. So when her best friend Bryony, a journalist on a gossip magazine, is sent to cover the Cannes Film Festival, Jess decides to seize the day and go along for the ride. Two weeks of sun, glamour and exclusive entry into celeb-filled parties is just the kind of adventure Jess needs.
Reality soon bites though when Jess and Bryony find they're staying in a dingy hotel far away from all the action and Bryony's expenses budget barely covers a glass of local wine. Undeterred, the two women are determined to live like the elite and enjoy one fancy night out to begin their holiday. So what if they have to tell a few white lies along the way? It's just this once. No harm done . . . right?

What I Say:

Catch Me If You Cannes is just genius! An absolute joy to read, as are all of Lisa Dickenson's novels!! Jess and Bryony are such a pleasure to befriend along this journey and I really didn't want to finish reading this book! Glorious setting, loads of laughs and lots of fun, what more could a reader ask for in a book??

What I would recommend is that you read this in the sunshine, with a gold (alcoholic) beverage and pretend you are in Cannes with them (unless you really ARE in Cannes, in which case, I hate you!).

Just sit back and relax and let Lisa take you on an adventure that will have you crying with laughter and feeling totally blissed out.  10/10


 

About the author:


Lisa Dickenson is the pseudonym for Beyoncé. OK, FINE, THAT'S NOT TRUE. 
Lisa lives by the Devon seaside, stuffing cream teas in the gobs of anyone who comes to visit, and writing stuff down that she hopes is funny.  Her first novel was the copyright-infringing Sweet Valley Twins: The Twins Holiday Horror, which she wrote in primary school and gave up on after five pages. Twenty-ish years later Lisa went on to be a *real author* and wrote the Novelicious Debut of the Year, The Twelve Dates of Christmas. 

 

Other titles by Lisa Dickenson:

You Had Me at Merlot
Mistletoe on 34th Street
 
Thanks to Clara Diaz at Little Brown and Lisa Dickenson for sending me an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Why I'm Shaving My Head for Lancashire Women

Hi there! I know it's been ages since I've done a personal blog post.      Things have been... weird. I know the whole world has struggled getting used to this new normal and the new measures we have to follow. So many people have lost so much to COVID and my heart breaks for them. And while the virus itself hasn't changed my life very much, this time of lockdowns and self-isolating has been really hard for me too.      When it all first started to change, Steve was taken into hospital with a bunch of different symptoms. COVID wasn't really a thing then, so he wasn't tested for it, but looking back, we're pretty sure that's what it was. While he was in hospital in March, an inspector from the RSPCA came to check on the welfare of our dogs as they'd had a report that Sky, our GSD, was too skinny. She is petite, a slim girl who didn't have a good start in life but is spoilt rotten now, along with our other 2, Bella and Minnie. They had no concerns and

Blog Tour Stop with Review of A Truth For A Truth by Carol Wyer

  First off, I must apologise to Zoe and Carol. My blog tour stop was yesterday, and somehow my post got lost in the ether. I didn't notice until today, as thr hubby hasn't been well, and my time has been taken up with my dogs and caring for hubs. So, a day late and pared down from my original post due to lack of time, here is my review of A.Truth For A Truth by the wonderful Carol Wyer. Review: What can I say?? Any book by Carol Wyer is going to be a hit in my opinion, and this is no exception. DI Kate Young is a flawed character who is full of heart and humility. I think she's been dealt a shit hand in life, and struggles to figure out her path. Traumas and dramas, untrustworthy men, and unstable mental health make her slightly difficult to bond with sometimes. But still, I care a lot about her wellbeing. This installment of her series is really compelling, and an interesting take on a "who dunnit". More of a "who will they THINK dunnit"! I loved that!
