The Secret to Falling in Love 

by

Victoria Cooke

Today I am on the book birthday blitz for this fantastic read from Victoria Cooke. Thank you to Rachel's Random Resources for my copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. 

Book Description

Lifestyle journalist and thirty-something singleton Melissa hashtags, insta's and snapchats her supposedly fabulous life on every social media platform there is.

That is until she wakes up on her birthday, another year older and still alone, wondering if for all her internet dates, love really can be found online? The challenge: go technology free for a whole month!

Forced to confront the reality of her life without its perfect filters, Melissa knows she needs to make some changes. But when she bumps into not one, but two gorgeous men, without the use of an app, she believes there could be hope for love offline.

If only there was a way to choose the right guy for her...

My Review
Melissa is a lifestyle journalist who enjoys  living her life through social media. Her life is put up on social media for all to see and she never forgets to add a hashtag. Melissa even does her dating online, although the is not proving to be very successful for her. Melissa is set a challenge by her boss, Dee to see if she is able to go a whole month with no internet and no technology. Melissa is sceptic at first and isn't sure how  she will survive without her beloved phone. However it isn't long before she starts to notice the world around her, more aware of the people around her and her need to make more conversations with those around her too. There is one flaw with this however as she meets not one but two Gorgeous men who both seem keen to date her. With no phone and no social media she doesn't want to miss out on this opportunity to keep in contact with them so she goes back to basics and starts writing notes. 
With the notes a success it sees Melissa going on dates with both Joseph, and Scott. Both of them seem like nice guys and she feels a connection to both, but she soon finds out one date wasn't all it seemed to be. This does give her confidence a knock however she is soon back to her old self again and she knows what she wants, and who she wants to share her life with. 
 I liked the character of Melissa and you got a great insight into her life. She has a great group of people around her to support and encourage her. They are also there to make sure that Melissa keeps smiling. I really enjoyed reading this book.   It flowed really well and kept you guessing all the way through. With Melissa having a technology ban you get to see what life could be like without it. It did open my eyes to just how much I myself use technology and made me more conscious of when I use it.
This was the first book I have read by Victoria cooke and I'm looking forward to reading more.
