Alex is a disaster, juggling multiple writing jobs and living paycheque to paycheque in one of the world’s most expensive cities: London. Desperate, she applies to write an online advice column for a men’s magazine, landing the role against all odds.
After offering some ill-fated relationship advice to Ryan, she tries to fix her mistake while hiding her identity as his ‘agony uncle’. The two fall for each other, and Alex believes she has finally met the love of her life — but Ryan is in love with a lie.
At the same time, Alex is ghost-writing the biography of Sir John Fenton, a retired Member of Parliament with secrets of his own. As her world unravels, can she help put Sir John’s back together?
Here's what readers have to say about this book....
Thank you for the ARC. The premise of the book hooked me immediately, and the constant hilarity kept me going. There are so many great one-liners that are just so funny and creative. I highlighted at least one line per page that made me laugh out loud. “Dear Alex” doesn’t read like a debut, and with two authors especially! I couldn’t distinguish between the two voices at all. The pacing was great, the story unfolded very smoothly and I found the dialogue very similar to that which I would have with my friends. I loved Alex and Adam’s banter, and his wit (both acting as comic relief and also offering some surprisingly sage advice) Ryan’s sweet and genuine nature, Bea’s gentle-but-firm guidance, and Sir John’s sorta-crotchety-but-cute grandpa vibes - I genuinely loved every character. Even Chris, so Alex could just tell him to shove it! Alex was relatable as hell, like yes, she made mistakes but owned them and it all worked out. Ryan’s was very realistic too - all very feasible reactions to things! These characters felt very realistic and I would not be surprised to see them running around London. It was a succinct and sweet ending, and it very much reminded me of one of my all time favourite movies (Pride and Prejudice, the 2005 version) and wrapped it all up in a very pretty bow. It was the perfect amount of words. I had a very hard time putting it down and will be recommending this book to absolutely everyone.
Alex Taylor is fresh off of a breakup, her writing career hasn’t taken off in the way she was hoping, & she currently lives with her immature (but lovable) cousin, Adam. Her life is certainly not what she was hoping it would be as she enters her thirties. However, when a new writing opportunity opens up for an online advice column, she feels like things may be looking up after all. When she ends up meeting an amazing guy, Ryan, through said advice column, things really do start to improve drastically in Alex’s life-but there’s a small problem…she hasn’t been entirely truthful with Ryan about who she is. This story is SO funny & witty-I truly laughed out loud at certain parts of this book 😂 I loved Alex as a character & all of the situations she keeps getting herself into. Adam & Sir John served as more comic relief, while also adding more depth to the plot. At first I thought that the Sir John plot came out of nowhere & wasn’t sure about it, but it ended up being one of my favorite storylines! The authors did such a wonderful job with this book. Looking forward to reading more of their writing in the future!
Throughly enjoyed ‘Dear Alex’. Laugh out loud funny, charming and moving in equal measure. Great page turner - would recommend in a heart beat!
Absolutely loved this book, the perfect holiday read. Great pace, funny, endearing characters...even made me shed a tear. Just brilliant.
A really enjoyable read. Incredibly funny throughout with characters who are all very engaging and entertaining. I loved the interactions between the characters and the hilarious situations they found themselves in. The storyline was also developed in a unique and surprising way which made it a fresh, original read. Definitely a read that will brighten your day and keep you engaged and entertained!.
