Lovelorn Brit Phoebe Chapman has barely set foot in her sister’s house in the Hollywood Hills when she’s swept up by lovable Bel, her sister’s personal trainer, and handsome Ren, the sweet and sensitive carpenter next door.
Bel has a head-over-heels crush on Ren but Ren has no idea Bel even exists. Certain that the two of them are meant to be together, Phoebe offers to play matchmaker.
Caught up with writing love letters and an unexpected friendship with a reclusive 82-year-old film star, Phoebe finds herself falling for the real Los Angeles – but is that all she’s falling for?
A feelgood, sunshine-filled, friends-to-lovers romcom, Love Me Do is a dreamy summer love story, perfect for fans of Christina Lauren and Emily Henry.

My Review: A rather unimaginative romance novel. The meet cute was lackluster, the visual descriptions unappealing and the dialogue makes you want to toss the whole book. The author never found the balance of making a dizzy character both flippant and lovable. Really, she forgot to make anyone in this story lovable. While there is evidence of a solid outline and character worksheets only hints of such prep make it onto the pages of the book. Take a hint from the title, it’s just as coherent as the plot.
