Sophie Timney is a Beauty Vlogger. She loves Vlogging and being an influencer but her follower numbers have stuck and she is worried that her videos are becoming boring. Without her numbers increasing she can’t get companies to sponsor her and grow her business. She is also fed up with having to use artificial light for her Vlog as her garden is a total mess, so she has to keep the curtains closed.

She lives in a shared house with her mysterious but rich friend Mya. To make her videos more fun her friend Polly has an idea, why not let gardener Marcus have some air time on her Vlog as he is trying to build up his business, in exchange he can landscape the garden, with a little of Mya’s cash too.

But how on earth are a beauty vlogger and a gardener, albeit a sexy gardener, going to work together?

Make It Up To You is a fun, even hilarious at times book about a beauty vlogger and a gardener trying to work together on their videos.

The book is a quick, light-hearted read that I read in one sitting. The writing was fast-paced and the characters were mainly a delight to spend my time with, sometimes Sophie felt a little OTT and self-centred, at others, she was a sweetheart. They were all perfectly realistic and I just adored Mya, I wanted to know what this mysterious woman did for a job too.

The book is about friendship and romance and Sophie had no shortage of lovely friends. Marcus was your typical book boyfriend, good looking, sweet, rough around the edges. There are also a few kittens for cuteness overload too.

If you are after a truly modern-day book that will give you a ‘pick-me-up’ then Make It Up To You is the book to read. It is a fantastic read that hooked me in and had me not wanting to put it down. It’s a little cheesy in parts and there were no big twists or turns, but it was pure enjoyment the whole way through.
