Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

The gloriously romantic debut about fame, friendship, and falling in love, from the best-selling author of Some Kind of Wonderful, and Happy Mum, Happy Baby.

Sophie May has a secret.

One that she's successfully kept for years. It's meant that she's had to give up her dreams of going to university and travelling the world to stay in her little village, living with her mum and working in the local teashop.

But then she meets the gorgeous Billy - an actor with ambitions to make it to the top. And when they fall in love, Sophie is whisked away from the comfort of her life into Billy's glamorous - but ruthless - world.

Their relationship throws Sophie right into the spotlight after years of shying away from attention. Can she handle the constant scrutiny that comes with being with Billy? And most of all, is she ready for her secret heartbreak to be discovered and shared with the nation?

Charming, heart-warming, and utterly romantic, Billy and Me, is an unforgettable story that will completely capture your heart.

Critic reviews

"A gorgeous, gloriously romantic read with buckets of charm - I absolutely loved it!" (Jill Mansell)
"A sweet and sparkling debut from a lovely lady. Sure to be a hit." (Carole Matthews)
"Only the most hard-hearted could fail to root for Sophie as she falls for A-lister Billy and must take on the mad, bad world of showbiz. This sweet debut reminded me of Last Night at Chateau Marmont" (Louise Candlish)

Sweet but basic

I am guessing this is aimed at the teenage market rather than adults. Sweet story, but too simplistic and convenient. Entertaining and harmless.

Sophie annoyed me

I really enjoyed this. However felt that Sophie was so uptight. For someone who is supposed to be sweet it was all me me me. Overall I enjoyed it but she was a bit of a wet wipe

High Gold Stars Gi

I adore the character of Sophie May, her warm heart gave me so much joy. I've found myself growing very attached to her. Please tell me more Gi.

Fantastic!!!

Would you listen to Billy and Me again? Why?

I would definitely listen to Billy and me again because it was such a fantastic story.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Billy and Me?

I loved the moments between Molly and Sophie, it was so sad when she visited the hospice but it was beautifully written.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

I enjoyed the scene describing the dresses.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I would have listened to it all at once but preferred to stop and start.

Any additional comments?

Such a fantastic story, beautifully written and really thought provoking.

Okay, but a bit too fluffy for me

I am happy to enjoy some chick lit with the best of them but this didn't quite do it for me. The main character is a bit wet and some of the emotions didn't feel explained enough and therefore just irrational. Wanted to give her a good shake sometimes. It was all just a bit saccharin sweet and not all that rounded out. It was ok but nothing more I am afraid.
