Summary

A breakup. A mix-up. Will there be a makeup?

Jess Sharp's life hasn't exactly gone according to plan. She's 32, unemployed, and single after a devastating breakup. She's also left Australia for London to live in her parents' spare room. Her chaotic life seems to be spiraling until she meets someone who could be a game-changer.

She's optimistic after a wildly successful first date, but far too much tequila and the ghosts of girlfriends past may drag her far below her lowest point. Can she win the race for romance without tripping?

London Calling is the first book in a series of lesbian romance novels. If you like punchy drama, wicked humor, and charming British characters, then you'll love Clare Lydon's hilarious debut novel.

Buy London Calling today to see if Jess stands a chance!

Angst heavy

Overall I enjoyed the book but there were a couple of points when I did have the ‘enough with all the angst’ internal dialogue.

Very entertaining

I read London Calling when it first came out and really enjoyed it. I did wonder how it would fare as an audio book and I wasn't disappointed. It was great to hear Jess and Lucy brought to life. I would certainly recommend it.

Loved it so much !

‘London Calling’ is a funny, romantic, sexy book and is perfect as an audio book. The London setting is so vividly written and the characters feel like people I know. Jess is one of those women for whom things are destined to go exactly the way she doesn’t want them to. Humour and mishaps are the order of the day for her as she tries to get on with her life after a painful break up. When she is blown away by gorgeous optician Lucy she tries so hard to make it work. Exes coming out of the woodwork threaten to scupper all that. I love the whole cast of characters as they add to the feeling of family - be they blood relations or great friends. The narration by Emily Bennett works really well. I can’t imagine anyone else capturing the tone of the book with such skill. Clare Lydon excels here and I’m desperate to listen to the next in the London series.

Loved London Calling

My first book by Clare Lydon and I loved it. It’s a slow burn which is exactly what I wanted and I cared about the characters, rooting for Jess as navigates a breakup, new relationship turbulence and a mother who really is trying to wrap her head around lesbianism. Funny, warm, touching and I definitely recommend this. Pick up London Calling.
