Reviews

Highly recommended A perfect enemies-to-lovers read filled with tension and charm. We love this sparkling enemies-to-lovers rom-com. Bad Publicity has all the hallmarks of a feel-good rom-com! Full of twists and turns, Andie’s love story with Jack sucks you in from the start. A great romcom read to cosy up with! Heartfelt, relatable, fresh and oozing with intrigue, Bad Publicity ticks a lot of boxes. I flew through it; I adored it. I want to rediscover this gem all over again. Full of bookish humour, Bad Publicity is a delightful enemies-to-lovers romance that will have readers holding their breath and rooting for Andie and Jack from page one! The slow burn in this funny, sexy debut is downright decadent and the chemistry between Jack and Andie sizzles in all the best ways. A ten out of ten! Achingly relatable, beautifully poignant, and laugh out loud hilarious - Bianca Gillam is the new queen of rom-coms! I devoured every moment of this slow burn, enemies-to-lovers, second chance romance and couldn’t put it down! Perfect for fans of Emily Henry – Bad Publicity is a bold, brilliant romance with a big emotional beating heart and a protagonist you won't be able to help falling in love with as you turn the pages. This one's going to absolutely thrill the TikTok girlies. A beautiful story about grief, love, and second chances, Bad Publicity is a road trip romance that takes the reader on an emotional ride. Filled with heart, humour, and the swoon-worthy moments every romance reader craves, this book is a gorgeous debut for Bianca Gillam. I can’t wait to see what she writes next! I adored this pitch-perfect, Emily Henry meets Josie Silver, rom-com. Andie and Jack are such rich characters and the fabulous cities they visit are the ideal backdrop to their romance, ensuring that, despite the sensitively-handled theme of grief, Bad Publicity remains an escapist, uplifting read. I found Gillam’s writing so evocative. I was particularly moved by the chess-playing scene in Paris; it was beautifully wrought and will stay with me for some time. A delightful blend of humour and heart. Gillam's enemies-to-lovers workplace romance sizzles with tension and swoon-worthy moments. A poignant, utterly compelling story about battling demons and coming out the other side stronger and better able to love. A glorious debut. If you love a slow burn, enemies-to-lovers rom-com with plenty of chemistry and some deeper themes that elevate it above the frothy, then this is the book for you. Fans of Emily Henry books will adore Bad Publicity. This debut has the push-pull of see-saw lovers to enemies, plus a feisty hero in Andie, and all wrapped up in the world of books. What's not to love? When I say Bad Publicity will tug at your heartstrings, let me be specific: it will tug at the string that feels loss for a loved one. At the one that makes you laugh. At the one that makes you yearn for second chances. Above all, it will tug at the string that makes you sigh and fall in love. Expand reviews
