I disliked the main character Nell. Her personality was written as weak and intimidated by men. It was annoying. There was cheating and the romance wasn't good

I loved Nell’s character, she was refreshing, real and funny. The writing was so thorough but I found that the first half of the book was a little information over load and I know Guss was meant to be a boring character but I just found any scene with him in was a yawn fest. He was so pretentious and rude which for me to come away thinking that shows how well written the book was. The sex scenes had me in stitches and I even had to go back and reread them to make sure I’d read them correctly.
It was a good story, with brilliant morals and a sense of humanity and realness that is often missing from romcoms. I am however a big fan of dialogue and this book was a very big monologue, but that only added to the story considering there was a big lack of communication with all of the characters.

Eleanor Mason is fine. Better than fine actually.
She's got the perfect job as a lawyer, supportive parents and a wonderful flat in London. And then there's Gus, her very sweet, very long term boyfriend who she has sex with at least once a week.
She's completely fine - until she heads back to her parents town for a few days and sees Arthur. Lord Arthur Drummond, to be precise. Rich, successful, gorgeous and married to a stunning Heiress. But underneath all that, he's just Art - the one who got away, her former childhood friend and the one person who's ever broken her heart.
And the longer she's in her old town, the more her life slowly feels less and less perfect. Is this just a case of the grass always looking greener on the other side? Or is Nell just settling for fine because she's scared to reach out for something amazing?
Did You Miss Me? managed to completely capture that nostalgic pang-in-your-stomach feeling when you think about going home. It was a beautiful story about roots and growing up and that desperate longing for everything to be exactly as we saw it when we were young.
I saw so much of myself in Nell - trapped in almost painful boredom and suffocating from being stuck in a rut but not knowing how to break the endless cycle she'd created for herself. This was a love story, yes, and while I adored fawning over Art and trying to figure out who Nell should really be with, that was just a small part of the story. Every single person we met had their own story to tell, their own vibrant personality that stood out and each story interwove into one in a spectacular way.
RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you to Sophia Money-Coutts, HQ and NetGalley for this ARC in return for an honest review.
