It’ll be fun and I’ll be signing copies of my book too – it’s the perfect Christmas present for your girlfriends.

A funny and heartfelt novel for any woman who wonders how the hell she got here and why life isn't quite how she imagined it was going to be. From the same pen of the popular Sex in the Glasgow City blog, the book, telling the dating woes of 29-year-old Glaswegian nurse Zara Smith, became a sensation in 2021. When I was younger, I felt pressured about being single with two kids, but I’ve learned how to embrace it. The healthcare worker turned novelist after blogging about her often bizarre dating experiences for 18 months. Are you really telling me that a grown woman in her thirties doesn't know what to do with a pad and gets suprised by her period every fucking time?DNF - I read over 100 pages and Zara constantly speaks negatively of herself and gets obsessed over toxic relationships that leave you uncomfortable. Karly Winters has waited ten long years to have the man of her dreams, the handsome but duplicitous Jacob Cruthers. A Glasgow Kiss follows the life of single Zara and her experiences in the weird and wonderful world of online dating. These adverts enable local businesses to get in front of their target audience – the local community. In fact, EVERYONE says “good job on that break up and being so depressed you don’t take care of yourself for a week, not even to eat, because you look GREAT skinny!

Was buzzing to read this given I could identify with the location and I wanted to support local talent.It was also really important for Zara to realise the significance of self-acceptance in the dating game.

I feel bad giving this such a low rating, I did find this book a really easy read and I enjoyed reading a romance set in Glasgow and featuring places I know.

I was keen for the first story from my blog to be the beginning of my first book, ‘A Glasgow Kiss’, to merge the two. It is important that we continue to promote these adverts as our local businesses need as much support as possible during these challenging times. I have killed several people (some brutally, others calmly) and yet I currently languish in jail for a murder I did not commit.
