Review - Me, You and Tiramisu by Charlotte Butterfield
Fall in love with the perfect feel-good romance for fans of Katie Fforde, Jill Mansell and Carole Matthews.
It all started with a table for two…
Life for self-confessed bookworm Jayne Brady couldn’t be better – she has a twin sister she adores, a cosy little flat above a deli and now she’s found love with her childhood crush, gorgeous chef Will.
But when Will becomes a Youtube sensation, thanks to his delicious cookery demos (both the food and his smile!), their life of contentment come crashing down around them. Can Jayne have her Tiramisu and eat it?

My Review
There was an immediate warmth to the authors voice right from the beginning and I settled into the story right away.
When Jayne Brady bumps into her teen crush, all of the feelings she had back then coming flooding back. Only now, Will has transformed into a hunk and Jayne still feels like her old awkward self. When Jayne and her twin, Rachel, move in with Will and their relationship blossoms, Jayne couldn't be happier. But then comes along an unexpected twist in their lives.
It all seems too good to be true and for Jayne, that becomes the case. Will's career is flourishing and the attention is drawn towards Jayne - and not in a good way. Will, an internet sensation, is now hot property and no longer her hot property. Everyone wants a piece of him. Suddenly everyone seems to think they have the right to point out her insecurities. Not only that but their not so perfect childhoods are thrown into the spotlight. This isn't the life Jayne wants. Can she still have Will and live happily ever after?
I'll confess to being drawn to this because of the title. Food and books are the perfect combination, right? This book proved that to be true. It's warm and funny and thoroughly entertaining. You can easily relate to the characters. Their lives seemed so wonderful and rosy, I wasn't entirely sure where the plot was going. Where was the conflict? And then it comes. In one of those you never know where life will take you ways. So all the smiles from the sister's banter and teen reminiscence fade away and it all gets serious. Which makes the ending even sweeter!
4.5 butterfly rating!
