Stanley takes 'write what you know' to a whole new, painful level. This novel is saturated with newfound, life-changing thruths—of a 13-year-old. The imagery is striking—for a 13-year-old. This his not a novel. This is an insult. #ConsiderYourselfKissed #JessicaStanley #BookChat #booksky
Some passages borders on banal. It’s like the author is so busy finding her voice, she forgets tone and style. #ConsiderYourselfKissed #JessicaStanley #BookChat #booksky
The author has created a universe filled with bots who try to speak human and attempt to mimic genuine reactions. It’s annoying at best. #ConsiderYourselfKissed #JessicaStanley #BookChat #booksky
Subtlety never killed a narrative. #ConsiderYourselfKissed #JessicaStanley #BookChat #booksky
Stanley is in such a rush to pair the protagonists up, she forgets to let them evolve organically into place. They’re just there after a few pages, but no one knows why or how.

Sometimes, as a writer, the best way to approach predictability is to fully embrace it? #ConsiderYourselfKissed #JessicaStanley #BookChat #booksky

“It was a Sunday morning in March, one of the coldest London winters in modern memory & - although she was totally alone - Coralie Bower, aged 29 1/2, was certainly not unhappy!”

Happy publication day to #ConsiderYourselfKissed by Jessica Stanley, which is out now from Hutchinson Heinemann @penguinbooksuk.bsky.social 🎉 💙📚
I loved this gem! 😍
#ConsiderYourselfKissed by Jessica Stanley is a rare gem. The publishers are calling it a literary love story. It spans the decade we’ve just lived through and political events are woven into the story, so it works as an entertaining recap of the UK’s recent history.
