I'm an ordinary woman from a tiny town where nothing EVER happens. Gary Montgomery is America's hottest new movie star. I've got absolutely ZERO chance with him.
Wait...Unless...

After seeing him on the big screen, shy Nora Tucker believes that movie star Gary Montgomery is her soulmate, her one true love, the man she's supposed to grow old and wrinkly with. She knows it sounds bonkers, she knows it’s completely crazy, but sometimes love is crazy, right?

All this nerdy plain jane of a woman has to do is get to Los Angeles, infiltrate Gary’s inner circle AND convince him that they’re meant for each other.

How hard can it be?

Gahhhh!! I couldn’t possibly love this book more! I swear Kirsty must be my long lost soul sister because not only does she write with the same sarcasm and cheesy one liners that I use in every day life (the butter knife one liner...I mean, come on! Too funny!), she even paid homage to several of my favorite things: grilled cheese, Mariah Carey, Hanson, music and writing. Kirsty, I officially want to be your friend. 🤣

Okay, now for my review...I laughed out loud several times while enjoying this silly rom-com and boy, did I need it in my life! I’m so impressed by Kirsty’s ability to engage her readers through cheesy what if’s and fate based scenarios. I absolutely loved “watching” Nora and Kennedy’s friendship develop and her relationship with her sister, Im, who cared for her so deeply.

This was such a great read and I highly recommend it to rom-com l lovers who need a laugh and a true feel good story!

Couldn’t put it down. Was hesitant at first to start it because it felt a little corny but I trust Kirsty and she absolutely effing nailed it. I love this book, whole heartedly. I read Crichton, Dan Brown, Thomas Harris, the classics, all the nail biters that get turned into big budget films - all of them. I love this writer more. She’s so damn funny. And HUMAN! I legitimately couldn’t put it down. It was wildly suspenseful and I
laughed out loud so many times! Even more than other KG books and I wasn’t expecting that. How do I sign up to be best friends with Kirsty because clearly she is brilliant and funny and amazing?!?! Read this now. It’s her best one yet.

Watch out for tiny spoilers!!! This is the kind of book that you cannot wait to finish but are sad when it ends!! I have been anxious to read the latest book from Kristy Greenwood. I am not usually a "romance" reader, but I fell in love with Kristy's writing when my book club read "Big Sexy Love". Kristy makes romance fresh, funny, and modern. I was so happy to see the return of a previous character and a certain bum bag! Nora, the lead character, is super goofy, but in a funny and relatable way. Aren't we all a bit of a hot mess sometimes? In the end, the characters remind us to keep going and keep reaching for our dreams. Joy Ahoy indeed!

Do yourself a favor and read her earlier books, you will get some great laughs and get inspired to keep being you.

This book put me in such a great mood I couldn't put it down. If you want something to make you smile and feel positive about love this is the book. The characters are just so fun and quirky I can't wait to read more.

This book was adorable! Hilarious, heartfelt, and both realistic and outlandish. I loved Nora’s character—so relatable! She is an extreme introvert that is socially awkward and a bit of a loner, which gave me Bridget Jones vibes. This story made me laugh out loud often. Seriously though, Kirsty Greenwood’s books have some of the best and most ridiculous humor and I seriously love it! Definitely pick this one up for a fun romcom and then read this author’s other books while you’re at it!

This was so different from any I’ve read before. It kept me guessing for a long time and I loved the characters. They were all real people, each with their own issues to deal with and were things we all have at least one of. Can’t wait to start the next one. (Loved the surprise.)

Absolutely Loved It

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 10, 2020

As a long time fan of Kirsty Greenwood the wait for a new book by her has been almost unbearably long but He Will Be Mine was definitely worth waiting for. It's laugh out loud funny, a whole lot crazy and pretty much the perfect bit of escapism for these difficult times. I read the whole thing more or less in one sitting as I just couldn't put it down.

The premise of this book is pretty unusual, 20 something woman working as a virtual admin assistant in a small village in England decides a famous Hollywood actor is her soul mate and heads off to LA to convince him of that fact. It sounds completely unbelievable and a bit nuts, but somehow Greenwood makes it work. Yes there are some ridiculous scenes and possibly a few too many convenient coincidences but they're so funny it's easy to just go with it and enjoy the ride.

Main character Nora Tucker is surprisingly relatable for a crazy stalker and there's something very likeable about her. Her somewhat hermit lifestyle, working from home, staying in reading romance novels and eating junk at the start of the story is probably very relatable to many of us living in lockdown right now and I could definitely see myself in her. There are tragic reasons why Nora lives the way she does and I really felt for her. I will admit to struggling a little with the "famous actor is my soulmate" thing but other than that she seems like a normal, nice and down to earth person. And while her trip to LA is for a slightly crazy reason I loved the way it opened her up, gave her new experiences and led to some self discovery.

Her adventures in LA are absolutely wonderful and often had me laughing out loud or cringing with embarrassment for her. I loved the way the city is portrayed in the story. I've never been but the author really brought it to life and made me want to book tickets to go immediately. I also loved the different characters Nora meets along the way. Some have bigger parts than others and some are on the quirky side but all of them are memorable. It was also fantastic to catch up with a couple of characters from one of Greenwood's previous books and there's a cameo from an actual famous Hollywood actor in there too that made me giggle.

I loved that as well as the chapters from Nora's pov we also got to hear Gary's side of the story. I loved the similarities between them, the near misses and how his chapters often mirrored hers. It kept me wondering if maybe, just maybe they were in fact meant to be and it wasn't all in Nora's imagination. It's definitely a story that keeps you guessing and there are more than a few unexpected twists along the way.

As always Greenwood's writing is wonderful, the story is pacy and full of humour and heart. If you can't tell by now I absolutely adored it and am seriously considering reading it again. I just hope we don't have to wait so long for her next book.

I am a massive fan of Kirsty Greenwood, having read all of her books she certainly knows how to make you smile. He Will Be Mine is without a doubt my favourite. Wow just wow….What a story!

With everything that is going on in the world at the moment. I needed that pick me up and take me to another place kinda read. This is definitely that book.

We are transported to LA where we follow Nora in a delightful, feel good, laugh out loud story. Which takes you on a whirl wind of emotions. You can always rely on Kirsty to make you laugh. Nothing is ever easy for Nora with some hilarious scenes which made me laugh until I cried.

But not only that I found myself totally absorbed with the characters. Who jumped out of the pages, making me love everything about them.

Kirsty has an incredible talent for capturing the scene and making you feel right there in the story. This book would make an awesome movie staring Nicolas Cage…..OMG so bloody funny!

Not only did this story make me laugh but it also make me cry. You might need a tissue or two that’s for sure.

I read this story in one day it is truly brilliant and utterly addictive. There is nothing not to like. He will be mine is an upbeat, mesmerising read with some twists and turns along the way. I cannot recommend this book enough giving it all the stars.

Funny, warm, and a cameo from Nicholas Cage

I read this book in one wonderful sitting - talk about your pick-me-up. I still randomly laugh out loud when I think back to the scene with the cheese and the basket and the chicken and Nicholas Cage. The setting was gorgeous, the characters are excellent (the tribute act cab driver particularly LOL)and the whole book was just a total pleasure to read. Kirsty Greenwood always delivers on the laughs and this one has real heart too.

A joyful read!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 16, 2021

Oh how I loved this book! And how I loved Nora - one minute I was hooting with laughter, the next I am crying and wanting to hug her.

Nora is stuck in a rut, working from home, shes happy or so she thinks, eating grilled cheese sandwiches, reading her favourite books and watching romcoms and talking to her online friend in a chat room about her favourite books. Imogene, her sister, is keen to shake her out of her hermit like existence and keeps trying to set her up. Nora wants a love like their parents had, that instant spark, that woosh, a happy ever after.

When Nora feels that spark of attraction and declares Gary Montgomery is her soulmate, her sister challenges her to do something about it. However, Gary is an up and coming Hollywood star living in LA...

Yes, the story is a little mad but the characters are utterly adorable.

I absolutely adore Kirsty Greenwood and have been checking Amazon for a new release for so long. Yesterday I discovered this books and downloaded it as fast as I could.

I was hooked very quickly and couldn’t put the book down. It was funny, cringey, motivating and lovely all at the same time.

I loved Nicholas Cage’s part...actually snorted at the mutual flipping the bird moment between him and Nora!!

Fabulous book, highly recommended!
