I was trying to ignore the awful puns, the cultural stereotypes and the vapid characters…. But when it came to mocking of sexual assault cases, I had to put this down.
What garbage.

I was really surprised just how much I enjoyed A View to a Kilt; I knew it would be humorous but it really made me smile, with some parts making me laugh out loud far more than I expected. I've read other novels by Wendy Holden before but not any from this series, and I particularly enjoyed this novel as the character Laura lives in Shoreditch, which is close to where I live, and the references to the extremely hipster neighbourhood and businesses around her ring so true, as well as plenty of other entertaining references which many people can probably relate to.
A View to a Kilt is also completely mad, taking the reader on a crazy journey from London to Scotland and back again which, although being a bit odd at times, I really liked.
It's an easy, fun read which would be perfect for a holiday or just an evening in relaxing, and I'd definitely read more from this series.
Many thanks to Head of Zeus for providing a copy of this book on which I chose to write an honest and unbiased review.

I really didn’t enjoy this book - it was full of cliches and I never felt invested in the main character which makes it difficult to like it

I read another book by this writer and I really liked it so my expectations were quite high.
I can say that all my expectations were met as this is a funny, entertaining and engaging book.
I appreciated the cast of characters, laughed out loud more than once, was hooked since the beginning.
The style of writing is as good as always.
A very good book for a relaxing afternoon.
Highly recommended!
