Me, You and Tiramisu- Charlotte Butterfield- Romcom

Jayne and Rachel are twins of the non identical variety. When they meet up with a childhood friend inadvertently Jayne is more than happy as she had a crush on Billy as he then was. Now Will he runs an Italian deli and "cooks a bit"- an understatement. One thing leads to another and suddenly Will is the new internet sensation with all and sundry after him. From wondering how they will manage to red carpet overnight. But where does this leave Jayne? At best she is posted as "a Friend", at worst Will is posted as single as it improves his media standing. Is this all too good to be true. Chapters do jump a little in time so that it is not all the media glare and the couple do enjoy some normality- not every day is a media circus. This is a feelgood book. One that takes you to a happy place- albeit a realistic one- not everything is sparkles. The balance between stardom and reality and how it effects normal life comes across well.  With friendships and cooking you can't really go wrong. I really did want some of the recipes. Who doesn't love pancakes and a treacle butter with honeycomb? A mother who is a nightmare and a little humour, this book has it all in the right proportions. I loved the ending. I won;t spoil it other than to say I had a tear in my eye, A truly wonderful read.
