From Notting Hill with Love…Actually.

I loved this…actually.

From Notting Hill with Love… Actually follows Scarlett and her adventures whilst she house sits in Notting Hill. Scarlett loves movies, which causes her trouble with family and friends. Being a fan of movies myself (i’m a self confessed IMDB obsessive), I could fully understand why Scarlett loves films so much. I rooted for Scarlett all the way though as she tries to find the answers to the questions in her life and work out which path she should take.

What I loved with this book was how quickly I got engrossed with the characters and the story. As a rom- com movie lover too, I found the references to the films fun and I found myself anticipating which film scene would be mentioned next.

The trivia and guide to Notting Hill placed at the end of the book was also a nice touch.

If you love your romantic comedies and know your Mark Darcy from your Daniel Cleaver, or if you love a little romance and escapism, you’ll love this book. I know I did.

I'm Laura. I started Novel Kicks back in 2009 as I wanted a place to discuss books and writing - two loves of my life. As someone who has anxiety, these two things give me, and I am sure countless others, a much needed escape.
There is a monthly book club, writing exercises, prompts, reviews, author interviews, competitions and guest posts. I cover many genres and I hope there is something for everyone.
I grew up by the sea in Dorset and currently live in Poole with my husband, Chris and three cats. I love writing and have a BA (Hons) in Creative Writing from Falmouth University. I am writing my first book. If only I could stop pressing delete. Chris has threatened to stop it from working. Haha.
I have always loved creative writing since I was in first school and would very much like to meet my teacher, Miss Sayers, to say thank you for all the encouragement she gave me then.
When not writing, I love reading, cats, Disney, singing (I can't sing but this doesn't stop me,) and falling into a good TV show or film. If I could step into any fictional world, it would be amongst the characters in ABC's Once Upon a Time.
I love reading many genres and discovering new authors.
