This is a delightfully funny book that had me giggling out loud numerous times. It is refreshing and uplifting to read. If you are looking for a lighthearted book than this is definitely the one for you.

The main character, Alexa, is wonderfully developed and easily loveable. The author has created an amazing character that is so relatable that I’m sure all of you could find a part of her in you. The storyline is quick moving with the whole book taking place in one day.

I can’t thank NetGalley and Harper Collins UK enough for allowing me to read the ARC of this book. It is the best all round and heartwarming book I have read in a long time. It was nice to laugh out loud and to enjoy a day in the life of this hard working, stressed out, unlucky and somewhat klutzy woman.

An easy to ready but ultimately silly tale of the escapades Alexa has when she is locked out of her flat on the one day she decided to throw a sickie! It’s definitely more for those who prefer a lighthearted read as it really isn’t particularly deep. I found Alexa to be a little unlikeable and Sam to be so flat and a bit of a pointless addition to the story. Fun if you’re looking for something silly and lighthearted!

Things you learn by reading. From dictionary.cambridge.org
"Duvet Day" (noun - UK informal)
A day off work, not because you are sick but because you need some time to rest:
`The company is one of many who now offer two duvet days a year, for when employees just can't face getting out of bed"

Alexa Humphries is a young attorney caught up in the rat race. She's overwhelmed and overworked and just needs a "duvet day." So she calls in sick to her high-powered law firm. The only problem is that one of her housemates, Zara is a fellow attorney at the same firm - a co-worker who's ruthlessly competitive and will happily throw Alexa under the bus for faking it. Finally, after a little bit of trickery, Alexa convinces Zara that she truly is under the weather, and Zara is off to the office. Alexa can snuggle under her duvet with a jar of Nutella, a spoon, and Netflix. Until that is, a delivery comes for their 3rd housemate. As, Alexa steps outside the door to sign for the delivery, she inadvertently locks herself outside - while wearing a rainbow unicorn onesie and bunny slippers.

Thus begins Alexa's highly improbable but hugely amusing adventure. In her quest for a set of keys to get back into her home, she manages to have all sorts of escapades - all over London in a rainbow unicorn onesie! Plus, she gets some insight into where she wants to go in the future - more work/life balance, more adventure, and maybe a little romance.

Review of Duvet Day by Emily Kerr

This is the first book I have read by this author and I really enjoyed it. A laugh out loud feel good romantic comedy that you can't go wrong with. Young lawer Alexa loves her bed, and one day has had enough and decided to give herself a well earned duvet. A funny enjoyable book, five stars

While taking a sick day adventure ensues for the exhausted young lawyer Alexa. A very funny easy read from this debut

The premise of this book is cute and I think everyone feels like they want to just take a day and lay around so they call in sick. I hated that she had to worry about her own roommate. Some parts are funny, some parts are ridiculous, and some parts are a little frustrating. I wish she could have changed her clothes, I didn't like the whole running around in the unicorn onesie. I think this day does help Alexa to give thought to what she really wants. I would have liked a little more romance but this was set over just a day so I get it. Fun and descriptive moments helps the story. I love the cover. Thanks to the author, NetGalley, and HarperCollins, and One More Chapter for this arc in exchange for my honest review.

Alexa, a junior lawyer in a prestigious London law firm, decides to have a duvet day. Unfortunately things don't turn out well as she becomes locked out of her flat wearing a unicorn onesie. Cue a day of mayhem, rather than her hoped for rest, chasing after a news photographer who snapped pictures of her in a highly embarrassing situation.
This started off reminding me of one of those old Whitehall farces with a series of unbelievable, but very funny events. As the story developed it became much deeper than that as we begin to find out more about Alexa and the strain that she is under in her job and her dreams of where she would like her career to progress towards. She goes through both highs and lows with Sam, the photographer, with a series of calamities, mixed with successes. The lows for me added to the story, broadening it from a comedy to a much deeper, whilst still funny, book. Definitely a recommended read by this new to me author.
I received an advance copy of this book from the publisher through Netgalley, however this did not influence my review of the book and I have already pre-ordered it as I enjoyed it so much.

A fun and enjoyable read. I will be looking out for more from this writer.

Many thanks to NetGalley and to the publisher for allowing me to read this in exchange for an honest review.

This was such a fun and easy read. I laughed out loud a lot and enjoyed reading about the familiar street of London. Alexa is a hard-working lawyer who decides to take one day off to recuperate, watch netflix and stay in her unicorn onesie. Things don't go quite to plan and am adventure is undertaken. One which is full of hilarious mistakes.

What a fantastic feel-good read!
Alexa Humphries is a young lawyer who is feeling the grind. Daily, she is pouring her heart and soul into her job, which leaves little time for her life. (And I know this is a reality, as my own solicitor emailed me last night past 11 pm, and I wanted to tell her off for still working!)
That morning arrives when it all becomes too much, and after much deliberation, she takes her brother's advice and calls in sick... Duvet Day!
It would, ordinarily, be a simple thing, call in, make excuses, then settle down for a day filled with series binges, comfort eating, and relaxing.
Simple, if you didn't live in a houseshare with one of your lawyer colleagues, who needs to learn a little about sympathy, and another mystery housemate who has never introduced herself.
Hilarity ensues, as, cosied up in her Unicorn onesie and teddy bear fluffy slippers, Alexa finds herself locked out of the house, after making the (bad) decision to answer the door for a delivery, addressed to her unknown housemate.
Oh, what a giggle, from start to finish!
I really felt for Alexa, being in a job that can drain everything from you, myself. The thought of a duvet day would buoy me up, too, but equally, fill me with dread about what I'd backlog of work I'd encounter when I got back to work.
Poor Alexa has her heart in the right place, and all she wants is the best for the world, to make a difference.
I'm sure she wasn't ever expecting to make that difference, dressed up as a unicorn, though!
I won't spoil the story for you, but it's a wonderful read, and yes, there is definitely a slow simmering romance, which takes the whole book to begin to boil, but, when you think about it, it's all rather fast, since the book takes place over the course of one day!
Fantastic!

I’m genuinely gutted to not have enjoyed this.

The writing in itself was good, and I liked the premise - but the two just didn’t come together well enough for me and I ended up skim reading the whole book.

Alexa’s character isn’t believable, and Sam was completely one dimensional. The ending was even more implausible than the rest of the novel (which required a huge suspension of disbelief).

I really wanted to enjoy this as it really seemed something NEW - but it just wasn’t right for me. A real shame.

An unputdownable, lighthearted read! Once I started reading about Alexa’s Duvet Day, I didn’t want to stop!

The origins of this story I are ones that I’m sure lie close to many readers’ hearts. Alexa is feeling the stress from working at a law firm with very little down time. One day it all turns out to be too much and she decides to take a duvet day. Little does she know what her duvet day will entail! Alexa’s escapades become more hilarious as the day goes on and although it is hard to believe that events could take such a turn in real life, it was a really entertaining read!

A rollercoaster of a romance! With hints of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Legally Blonde and Working Girl, Kerr takes you on a riotous tour of London and self-discovery. I could totally see this as a film of its own. Cracking fun that’ll have you bracing, holding your breath and whooping.

Such a fun book! Perfect to read under your own duvet (or poolside), Duvet Day is a charming and hilarious novel. Alexa, a corporate lawyer, is worn down by the demands of her job and decides to take a sick day to relax and recover. However, after she is locked out of her apartment in her unicorn pajamas, chaos ensues.

I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

This book is perfection I love a good chick lit and this ticks all the boxes of what I look for in a story. Give it a go you won’t be disappointed!

A fun escapism read. Alexa throws caution to the wind and plays hooky from work. Maybe for the first time ever. She spends 12 hours in London wearing a unicorn o especially and getting into mishap after mishap. A fun read for sure.

Duvet Day is a charming story by overworked Alexa Humphries who decides to take a much-needed day off work, her so-called Duvet Day.

She plans on staying in bed, eating Nutella out of a jar, and binge-watching Netflix, but of course everything goes horribly wrong. When she goes to sign for a package for her roommate Sam she ends up locked out of her flat and is launched into a crazy day full of shenanigans trying to regain access to her house and make it back to her beloved bed. All dresses in a unicorn onesie.

The book is definitely entertaining and Emily Kerr does a good job of narrating the scenes (they almost read like a movie), but she used some cliche tropes (like the evil coworker) that I wasn't a fan of.

Also, I like the twist in the beginning with the love interest, but I just wish he was a bit more likable. Yes, I'm all for enemies to lovers and great banter, but he just seemed too stoic. Ultimately, this is not a great romance at all, but if you want a quick read full of crazy and funny situations this is a good pick.

This book was laugh out loud hilarious!!! It was just what I needed. The writing was fun and full of humour and I can’t wait to read more from this author

Who doesn't love a duvet day? It's the perfect place to curl up with a good book 🛌

I read this over several days as I got distracted by my last read. I loved this book, it was so, so funny. This would be the perfect romcom to make into a film. I loved the comedic relationship between Alexa & Sam.

Alexa has decided she's pulling a sickie from work, but thanks to a parcel courier she finds herself locked out of the house wearing her unicorn onesie & not a lot else! What ensues is a hilarious, madcap goose chase across London trying to persuade her house mate Sam to hand over his keys.

Many thanks to Netgalley for my ARC in return for my honest review.
