Libby Lomax #3
A Night in with Grace Kelly
The LOL finale to the series that started with A Night in With Audrey Hepburn. Perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella and Lindsey Kelk.
Fate has got it in for Libby Lomax. She realised, far too late, that her best friend Olly, is the actual Love of Her Life. Now he’s in love with the so-nice-it-hurts, Tash, and it looks like her happy ending is completely out of reach.
Things start looking up when she, quite literally, runs into the completely gorgeous Joel. Libby discovers that there is more to Joel than his six-pack, not least, the incredible fact that he honestly believes he has found his fairy tale princess in her.
And if this wasn’t enough, an unwanted guest shows up on Libby’s enchanted sofa; Grace Kelly, wearing her iconic wedding dress and convinced that Libby is figment of her imagination. But one thing that Grace doesn’t believe in is fairy tales. Grace believes that if you really want something, then you’ve got to make it happen yourself; words which give Libby hope that happy endings aren’t just for fairy tale princesses…

I loved reading A Night In With Grace Kelly by Lucy Holliday, because I thought the author has a fantastic imagination bringing a magical feel to the story. The magical theme is fresh and very different. I loved the idea of Libby's sofa being magical where Hollywood stars just seem to appear out of it. Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe. And now Grace Kelly is standing in her wedding dress right in front of Libby. A Night In With Grace Kelly is the best magical book that I have read. This is certainly a book that should be on your list to read first in January 2017. very perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella and Lindsey Kelk.

'Though trust me,' he says, softly, leaning closer to place his forehead against mine. 'I always knew what I had in you, Libby. My best friend. My true love. My soulmate.'
Ah that book! That book was perfection. Once again, Lucy Holliday made magic with this one.
That book made me laugh, cry, eye roll (yeah, a lot!) and I found myself yelling at it a lot. A LOT!
But nonetheless the storyline had the perfect ending, although to get there Libby and her choices sucked the life out of me. For real girl, just talk to him already!
Oh Libby. And Olly. And Bogdan. And Dillon. And Cass. And Nora. I'm really going to miss you!

Loved it, but sad that this series is over now. A lovely, sweet finish with an ending that made me very happy indeed!

A magical - even though slightly annoying as well- ending as it was definitely expected of this series. 5 stars of course because I am the sentimental type, but if I were being truly honest, 4 would be a better match. It seemed to me that she got kind of lost, trying to fit everything and making it feel more magical than it really needed to be. Therefore, many many exaggerations happened here. Plus, we never really got the big romantic scene at the end with Olly, which was practically the only thing we had been expecting for 3 whole books.
Anyway, that doesn't mean it wasn't worth reading cause it definitely still had its laugh-out-loud moments and I am sure going to miss these characters. I hope she reconsiders and writes another one later on!

I give it 3.75 stars Super cute fun read with a very likeable main character. Actually felt the story didn't need the part with Grace Kelly or where the 3 movie stars step in to help save her ( thought that was unbelievable and made no sense. Overall the story was enjoyable, great weekend, beach read with charming characters, nice romance and you found yourself rooting for Libby and Olly to be together.

I love the wacky concept of having Grace Kelly appear from Libby 's battered old sofa but sadly that's the high-point of this tired book.
Yet again, a humble, modest, always-putting-herself-down girl stars in a story where she's so dim and naive that it's a wonder she survives in London... Bring on the old 'I love my best friend, but he has a girlfriend' trope where it's clear Olly loves her back - and gosh, this drippy pair deserve each other.
Holliday is heavy-handed as a writer, spells out every last thing, doesn't know when to stop and just flattens every possibility of humour. Only venture here if you have a very high tolerance for cheesy chick-lit.

Never ever read a book without checking Goodeads reviews
The idea of this book is cool - fairy godmothers in the shape of famous historical women. Should be good right?! No… no it is not! I was expecting Grace Kelly to be helpful and join Libby on her silly little life. Instead she pops in a few times to give below par advice.
There was no chemistry between either of the 2 loves interests and when anything started to get interesting between the relationships we would skip forward months!! Infuriating!!!
Anywho - realistically the main problem is I picked up book 3 out of a trilogy… haunts me still

What a wonderful return to the story of Libby Lomax, her unrequited love of best friend Olly, and her enchanted Chesterfield Sofa that has a habit of manifesting Hollywood greats from it.
Normally I'd mention in a review if a book can be read as a standalone, but I was so pleased to be back with these characters, and enjoying the book so much, I literally haven't given it a thought until now. I am sure that if you have read the other two, then this is a fabulous final book in the trilogy. If you haven't then I think you would still enjoy A Night in With Grace Kelly, as it did take me a few chapters to remind myself what was going on, and a lot of the relevant back story does appear.
There are many hilarious moments in this book, a lot of them involving Libby's sister, Cass and mother. They become even more self obsessed and shallow than ever before, when they discover just who Libby has just met and started to date, Joel.
Joel is a lovely guy, and he is clearly able to think of more than just himself. I loved the way on only their second real meeting he goes out of his way to help Libby's friends, when they really need half a miracle, and I think that is what set into motion the entire second half of the book.
There are a whole multitude of good looking men in Libby's life, and I just had my fingers crossed the whole book that she would end up with the correct one.
Grace Kelly does, as you make expect from the title, make a few appearances in the book, but I felt her influence was a lot less than we have had previously with Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe, but yet what Grace was saying to Libby, was succinct, to the point, and was actually really good advice for what Libby was going through at the time.
It was great to learn a small amount about Grace Kelly too, as although I know she is a Hollywood icon, I didn't really know anything else before reading this book .
Libby Lomax is just such a loveable character, she gets herself though into some interesting and funny situations, some of the time just because she may be daydreaming, or for other small reasons, and suddenly things seem to snowball slightly.
I have completely enjoyed A Night In With Grace Kelly and the other two books in this series and can't wait to see what Lucy Holliday will write next.
Thank you so much to Harper for this copy of the book that I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

If you've read the previous two books, you know that is a silly premise which makes for an entertaining novel that you just have to give it up for. If you haven't read the earlier Libby Lomax books, Holliday gives you enough back story to enjoy the latest installment and perhaps make you want to read the others. Grace Kelly did not have a totally happy ending as a Princess but she's a good person to give Libby, who can use it, some advice. I'm torn over whether I'm sad to see this series end or not. It's light reading that allows for a little imaginary insight into famous women along with a plot that clips along. I'm looking forward to whatever Holliday might do next. Thanks to Edelweiss for the ARC.

I absolutely love this series of books. My absolute favourite was a night in with Audrey Hepburn. But this is a wonderful addition to the series and a wonderful ending for it too.
It has been wonderful to go through the journey with all the characters. We have shared so many wonderful circumstances. We have laughed lots and went down memory lane with some amazing screen actresses.
It had been a wonderful series. And I have loved each book so much.
If you haven't read this series. Then you really need to give it ago. You won't be sorry.
Happy reading everyone

A Night in with Grace Kelly is the final book in the Libby Lomax trilogy. I adored the first two books and was excited to get back into the imaginative and magical world Lucy Holliday has created. A world where film stars of the golden age magically appear on Libby's old couch to offer her some funny and valuable insight. Who better then Grace Kelly to appear on Libby's couch then after Audrey and Marilyn? However, Grace's character didn't live up to my expectations. Despite being the star of the story, Grace only appeared a handful of times. It felt as if the author had forgotten to interweave Grace with Libby's story and randomly put her in. When Grace did appear, she came across as selfish and shallow. She didn't help Libby until the very end when Libby already had come to her decision. So for me this was a disappointing end to a really fun series.

Review : A short and simple review, I love this book better than the one with Marilyn Monroe. Obviously the journey from the first until the final one is to get the one true love for a happily ever after life. Such a great sequel. It’s a cute, girly and funny fiction story. Once a while, it’s an escapism from the serious reading. It was fun and relaxing reading it. Once a while I clenched my teeth feeling sick with the mother and half sister, Cass. I had enjoyed the journey. One of a great thing was the comeback of the three great legendary Hollywood’s stars. Love this book and the series.
This review is from my point of view. We may have different opinions. Feel free to share if there is any.

Oh, I sob! The final book in the series!! What will I do?? As usual, Holliday is hilarious. Great with dialogue, characters, and ridiculous situations. We all want Libby to end up with Olly ... but will she? Ahhhh!!! Sad to see the Chesterfield take its final bow.

I want to cry! One of my favourite series is now over. That was a great conclusion! 💓

Overall, this a fun series. I will miss these characters, especially Bogdan.

These are entertaining book, easy to read a little bit of magic and a lot of romance in the life of Libby Lomax

No geral acho que a série poderia ter sido apenas um livro. Não entendi a participação da Grace Kelly.
Foi dos livros o mais engraçadinhos, apesar dos pesares foi um chick-lit gostoso pra passar o tempo!

Libby is once again dating and a certain film icon has shown up out of that ragged, malodorous Chesterfield sofa. The author brings a slightly different spin to the magical appearance of Grace Kelly, that woman who left a budding film career to marry Prince Rainier of Monaco. Grace is certain that Libby is actually a dream (a wink and a nod to Lewis Carroll’s Alice, a book Libby herself references, since a character accuses Alice as being part of his dream rather than vice versa).
My growing sense of dissatisfaction with this novel stems from how completely it fails the Bechdel test. All of the icons and various other people talk to Libby about her disastrous track record with men, weighing in with their opinions and advice, whether wanted or unwanted. Even her ex-boyfriend Dick (sorry, Dillon) shows up like a bad penny to tell her what he thinks of her new and current squeeze.
The Bechdel test is usually applied to movies. However, I think this trilogy could stand being placed under its glaring lens. So many people talk to Libby about men, giving the ever-increasing sensation of panic as Libby nears the dreaded specter of 35 years, the modern-day equivalent of spinsterhood and infertility for women.
Never mind the fact that many women opt not to marry and experts know that a woman’s eggs can remain fertile long after this age, thus enabling women to put off childbearing. In this romance, as in so many others, women who haven’t married by 35 are considered sad affairs. Libby finds herself tearing up over Clara, her best friend’s daughter, even though the child first makes her entrance onto the page screaming with hunger until she’s purple in the face. Her mother, twice divorced, is the epitome of ridiculous selfishness, vanity and greed, determined to remain good looking and youthful to spite her first husband who’s married another woman.
Why don't any of these icons or Libby's friends tell her to stand up to her demanding sister or domineering mother? Why does she let these two harpies swoop in peck her to death with their demands so that she actually has to flee her apartment to get away from them? Talk about toxic family relations.
Then there’s Olly. Olly who keeps twittering on to Libby about a Mystery Cheese that they sampled so long ago in France. Olly, who almost everybody else tells Libby is in love with her. Olly, who can’t get up the guts to tell her himself. What a pathetic sack of cow flop!
Libby is told that she must tell him how she feels. Well, how about having him step up to the plate and telling her how he feels? What woman wants a poltroon for a husband, a pathetic lump who can’t even bring himself to tell her how he feels? Why is she the one who has to do the heavy lifting, especially since he’s loved her for years and she only started falling for him a year before she’s set to marry someone else?
Olly’s a coward in love who won’t speak up for himself. Libby is a ditz who finds herself in one farcical situation after another. Forget about Grace Kelly, Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn. Libby’s inspiration must come from the character Lucille Ball played on “I Love Lucy”. The happy ending predictably comes but not without the equivalent of a pratfall. Love isn’t all flowers and hearts but it doesn’t have to come with constant cream pies in the face.

This was the third and last in the series of 'Nights In With....' books from Lucy Holliday. As with the other two immensely entertaining with the main character Libby Lomax and her magical couch along with Bogdan and the other regulars to the series creating laugh out loud scenarios and impossible situations.
This was equally as good as the other two in the series and I am sorry that these will now have come to an end. Clever witty dialogue, likable and believable characters and a great girlie read.
Libby having realised too late that she is in love with her best friend Olly is now forced to see him with another girl and it seems her happy ever after will never come. She is almost resigned to a life of being single when Joel comes crashing into her life, almost literally, and he is completely bowled over by her believing she is the love of his life. To complicate matters even further Grace Kelly materialises on Libby's enchanted sofa much to Bogdan's delight who is so smitten with Grace Kelly that he even decides to grow a moustache to make himself more like Clark Gable whom Grace hints at she was besotted with.
We all know there are no such things as magical sofas but you need to read this with a little bit of imagination and an open mind, if you're looking for a serious read this book is not it. I loved the other two in the series and I loved this one as well, I only hope that Lucy Holliday can pull something out of the bag for her next book since this series has come to an end. She has created a hard act for herself to follow and I will definitely be looking for her next book. Well deserved 5 stars for this and the series - loved it all.

So the author REALLY got bored with the 'gimmick' of starlets. They didn't like anyone as much as they like Audrey, and it shows, because in the last one Marylin was just a naked bimbo and in this one Grace is a snobby biotch. But we HAVE to know how everything turns out for our Bridget Jones stand-in. We have ANOTHER new guy, this time a BILLIONAIRE(someone clearly read 50 shades), there were still alot of loose ends that aren't really wrapped up. I liked the three starlets together helping our leading lady. Didn't really like, since we didn't get, our main couple getting together...uh because the author built it up and couldn't deliver so SKIPPED it entirely...thanks. And just time jumped to their wedding...uhhh, yeah I'm still want to option this series so I can make a Netflix trilogy and iron out everything and make this series GREAT and end great. Anyone know someone at Shondaland? Cause I wanna pitch this!

The way this series started out gave me hope that it would only get better, but its pretty obvious the author loves Audrey Hepburn the most, as that's the book that's most researched on what Audrey was really like. Both the Monroe and Kelly follow-ups were dismal, but this one on Grace Kelly takes the cake in being super abysmal. There seems to be no rationale as to why Grace 'behaves' the way she does, why she comes across as so rude and off-putting, and its super disappointing given that there's so much written about her and who she was. I wish the author had spent some time researching both the Kelly and Monroe stories and shifted their stories to let us into perhaps some 'hidden' stories, or exposed what they looked like behind closed doors. This series ultimately did not pay off for me.

I tried! On the first page you get introduced to 4 or 5 characters at once. I felt like I need a flow chart. By page 25, I was just wondering WHY?? Why am I reading this? Why is the main character so annoying? Why is Grace Kelly appearing from this old couch?
Yet, I kept reading. Thinking this book has got to be better. It does pick up when she meets someone. But unfortunately I didn't make it far past this point.
Perhaps it's the more formal British language that's not what I expected in this type of book.
To be fair I didn't read books 1-2. So maybe this isn't a great stand alone book.
I'm not sure but perhaps I'll give it another try at a different time and maybe start with the first book.

Despeço-me de Libby Lomax com uma certa tristeza, neste último volume da serie. Continuamos a seguir as suas peripécias amorosas e profissionais, desta vez com a ajuda da elegante Grace Kelly, até finalmente alcançar o seu "happy ever after". Uma leitura feel good com personagens envolventes e com muito humor. Como prémio tivemos direito a presença das divas do sofá (Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe e Grace Kelly) todas juntas na mesma sala, o que só pode criar confusão para a Libby e risos para nós. O final foi perfeito para a estória de Libby e seus amigos.

I read this out of curiosity towards chick-lit, and will go back to the tried-and-tested or looks-interesting-to-me over the uncool, don't-knock-it-till-you-try-it types.
All her friends are amazing, everyone else is one-dimensional, and of course there is a gay best friend who is jealous of all the amazing guys our unlucky in love protagonist has at her feet. To be fair to Holliday, she can actually write, it's just the subject matter is so tedious, and more of a wish-fulfillment exercise on the part of author and reader.

So we come to an end to another trilogy, but really this should've been either a one shot or a series of standalones. The reason I say that is because with each book, Libby shows character development, but she loses it all by the beginning of the next book. So while I did love the first book, each one afterwards became more frustrating. Fun idea, but three sequels was pushing it too far.

Esse último livro também não me surpreendeu. Achei a série bem "média" e esperava que talvez o final fosse ser um pouco mais emocionante, mas pra mim tornou-se tudo muito repetitivo. É uma leitura leve e divertida, mas daquelas que a gente esquece logo.

Plot-wise the book was the best out of the tree. But when it comes co the encounters with the ghost of the late actress Grace Kelly, she didn't really contribute to story as much as Audrey and Marilyn had done in the previous books.
