The blurb:
‘One of the funniest
books I've ever read. It made me cry with laughter. I highly, highly recommend
it to anyone looking for a complete gigglefest of a read!’ Kirsty Greenwood
Izzy Harris should have it all – but her
boyfriend has been ignoring her for months, she’s been overlooked for a
promotion, and the owner of her local coffee shop pervs on her every time she
has a craving for a salted caramel muffin.
Then her life is unexpectedly turned upside
down.
Izzy dumps her oblivious boyfriend, and leaps on
the chance to win a big pitch at work. Needing to work closely with gorgeous
colleague Alex is an added perk…
But then her best friend has her heart broken,
the pitch is way more complicated than expected, and Alex is keeping secrets.
Does Izzy have what it takes to help her friend, save her career and get the
guy?
A funny, feel-good read about finding yourself –
and love – when you least expect it, for fans of Joanna Bolouri, Cate Woods,
and Lindsey Kelk.

If You Could See Me
Now is Keris Stainton's first adult novel and I fell in love with her
style of writing immediately.
The story follows Izzy
Harris, who wakes up one morning and is invisible. Yes, you heard right! To be honest,
it was really confusing form e at the beginning and I didn’t really know what to
think. I went with the flow however and really started enjoying the book.
She dumps her
boyfriend, works on a big work project at home, starts liking her work
colleague Alex and her best friend’s relationship status changes as well. Her
best friend Tash is in an open relationship at first and really really likes
going out with different men.
Izzy has always felt a
bit invisible at times and now she is really experiencing it. She now has to learn
to deal with it and find a way to still come up with a plan for work, go out
with Tash and see Alex. More and more people find out that she is invisible and
more problems come up. I liked the idea behind it all, because Izzy really
learned a lot about herself and life, but the invisibility thing made the „chick-lit“
effect form e a bit weird.
Keris Stainton has a
fab writing style, her words are engaging, there are lots of funny moments and
she somehow made the invisibility work. My fave scenes were to ones with Izzy
and Alex.
The ending was a bit
rushed form e and left some things open, which I don’t like, but I still enjoyed
every second of this book. It’s gripping, funny and full of great moments!
