Blurb: Hannah Upton’s life has been flipped upside down following a devastating breakup. Despite her heartache, she’s determined to focus on herself – that is until she meets Jeremy, the new I.T. guy.
Suddenly, Hannah is being forced out of her comfort zone and instead of dealing with her feelings, she dives into the latest workplace scandal. She is known as the Gossip Queen of BHI, after all, and she won’t rest until she solves this mystery.
But as she digs deeper, she begins to realize that the stakes are higher than she ever imagined – and she must face her feelings if she hopes to succeed.
Review: Love Bytes and Gossip is a fun novella that I stormed through in a couple of sittings. I really liked both Hannah and Jeremy, and the ridiculous situation at work was funny (there’s a chance that I might be a little immature, heh.)
However, the story felt very rushed. It could easily have been a longer novella or even a novel had Ms Willis not condensed so often. There was an awful lot of tell that made reading less immersive.
I’d also have liked to see more from Jeremy’s POV. He’s clearly in love with Hannah, but we don’t really see why. I did like how protective he was, and that he was nice to her without expectation.
I think these things are why I’ve given Love Bytes And Gossip three stars – I just wanted more!
