REVIEW: Sunkissed - Jenny McLachlan

Sunkissed (Ladybirds, #3)Title: Sunkissed
Author: Jenny McLachlan
Series: Ladybirds #3
Publisher: Bloomsbury
Publication Date: 13th August, 2015


Kat can't believe her family are sending her to Sweden for the summer. But without her friends, or even a phone signal, can Kat make it on her own? In a land of saunas, nudity and summer sun, Kat soon realises she has nowhere to hide. It's time to embrace who she really is, underneath what she's been thinking people want her to be. Especially if she's going to win the heart of mega fit Swede Leo! Can Kat find her inner strength and prove she's got what it takes? Kat soon finds that when you're surrounded by phosphorescence and wonder it's easy to sparkle. Or maybe that's what happens when you fall in love . Or maybe you only shine when you're true to yourself.

BLOG TOUR: Jenny McLachlan talks all things Betty

Today the lovely Jenny McLachlan, author of Flirty Dancing and Love Bomb is here today to talk about her latest narrator, Betty.

Betty and Bettye

I always listen to music when I write. Rather than distracting me, it acts as a shortcut into a scene and my narrator’s voice. I had six months to write Love Bomb and I was also working full time as a head of English at a secondary school and I had two little girls. I had to write whenever I had a moment and I carried my tiny laptop everywhere. Listening to music was a quick way of jumping into back into Betty’s world and cutting off from the real world.
