Beautiful, comforting, feelgood read!!
Real curl up on the sofa stuff!

Thanks so much to NetGalley and the publishers for letting me read this book in exchange for my review.

This ARC was provided to me via Kindle, from HarperCollins UK and #NetGalley. Thank you for the opportunity to preview and review. Opinions expressed are completely my own.

Delightful and thoughtful tale of romance.

A very uplifting book. I really liked Zoe, she is a believable character, definitely not perfect and prone to making mistakes! Great supporting cast. Definitely the sort of book I want to read in these challenging and depressing times. Recommended!

A delightful read. Zoe - single mum who lives close to her family - is made redundant from her newspaper position and is forced to rethink her life and her priorities. Alongside her previous colleague, she decides to start on an online and then paper publication - The Good News Gazette - hunting out good news stories about her local community.

In the process she sets out to save the local shopping centre from demolish; organises a carnival and finds love!

A feel good story - so good in our so negative times.

It is a nice romance with very loveable characters and a community who fight to save their past and future. I was happy to see how Zoe the heroine finds her self-esteem and also decides to give happiness a chance. I spent very enjoyable hours with the book and can recommend to anyone who loves happy endings.

I received a free copy of, The Good News Gazette, by Jessie Wells, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Zoey is bored, so she decides to start The Good News Gazette, which so much bad in the world, she wants to highlight only good news. Westholme is quiet a busy town, according to their facebook page. A found this book to be a bit too gossipy. It was an ok read.

I loved this story. A book you thought about when not reading . Lots of interesting characters . I loved the face book messages at the end of each chapter. Zoe was made redundant from her job on a local paper and she set up a feel good local newspaper with happy news. She was a single mum.and she also took on a developer to save a parade of shops and a bit of a love element was thrown in. Definitely one to buy my book club colleagues . A very good read.

This was a fun and quick read. Loved the characters and the notion of the book! A perfect Sunday afternoon read.

If you need a PickMeUp positive feel-good book, then you need to read The Good News Gazette.

What a lovely read!

This was heart-warming and uplifting, and one of those fun reads where you just want to snuggle up and read and read and read till the end.

I loved it.

Zoe Taylor is such a relatable character - a single mum who moved back to her local town after falling pregnant and her partner not being interested in being a dad.

She's plodding along nicely if not a little disillusioned with her situation and then gets made redundant from her local newspaper as a reporter.

So while she's on gardening leave, she decides to pull up her big girl pants and try to do something for her, for her local community and for her son - she sets up her own newspaper The Good News Gazette to showcase positive stories from her local area.

It made me laugh, it made me sad at times, but it was such a true reflection of life today.

I think many of us post-pandemic are really fed up with all the negative news that dominates newspapers, online media and TV - I would absolutely love to have something like this in my local area showing the great and good of my community.

She gets to know so many wonderful characters Cath who runs the local greasy spoon, Margaret who leads a team of gardening volunteers trying to brighten up the area and also runs meals for mums, Sam who is helping kids by football coaching and giving them something other than petty crime to get into and so many more.

As she gets to know the community, she realises just how many people are doing good things and wants to help these people save their parade from impending doom by a supermarket build.

There's a great sense of community and coming togetherness in this story.

I loved how empowered Zoe became and that she gains so much confidence throughout the launch of the newspaper and her campaign to save the parade.

Her friendship with her two best friends Emma and Beth sounds really similar to mine with my two besties.

A really easy, fun and heartwarming read.

The Good News Gazette is a life-affirming read. Highly recommend for those looking for something positive, uplifting, and as cozy to read as the book's cover. Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter, for this ARC.

This book was like a big, warm hug.

It was sweet, it was delightful, I just totally enjoyed this!

There isnt much you can't love about this - it was just a sweet read.

Zoe is definitely a hero we can get behind, from the excuses why she is running late to the looking out for your friends and family, a delight from start to finish

Jessie Well's "The Good News Gazette" is the ultimate feel-good, empowering and delightful read. Zoe's journey is depicted with a lot of realism and depth with a dash of hope and inspiration. Every page is a comforting blanket, warm and cosy. Jessie lures you in with fantastic world-building, hilarious and memorable characters that reflect the lens of romantic interests, family and friendships. Bad things guest appearing in your life are inevitable; coping and finding the best solution for yourself is the only way out. It was highly refreshing to see how Zoe corrects the error in her ways (slowly but surely) and takes a stand for the things that matter to her. The ending was well thought out and brought a smile to my face. I secretly look forward to a sequel. A 4-star read!

Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter, for giving me a review copy. This honest review is left voluntarily.

As the name suggests, this is a feel good read for when times are dark. Nice characters and a local interest story line, great for a comforting read.

This was incredibly good and cute! Such a wholesome story. I especially love the cover and would love to have a copy for my bookshelf.

What a fun read! An accurate reflection of life with the ups and downs of the plot. As in real life, when the main character, Zoe, was in a slump, all she could do was put her girl girl pants on and get on with things.

A real, feel good read for anyone who needs a litle cheer in their life.

Thank you to @netgalley for a copy of this book in return for my honest review. I can't wait to see more from this author in the future.

I really enjoyed this book. A great cast of characters and really well written. A lovely feel good read that left me with a smile on my face.

What a lovely read! This was heart-warming and uplifting, and one of those fun reads where you just want to snuggle up and read and read and read till the end. I loved it. It made me laugh, it made me sad at times, but it was such a true reflection of life today. Bad things happen, and you just have to put your big girl pants on and get on with it. If you need a bit of good news in your life right now, this’ll do it! Well done Zoe, and well done Jessie Wells. Thanks so much to the publishers for allowing me to read this excellent book. I really hope there’s a follow on!

This book was sent to me electronically by Netgalley for review. This is a quick fun read with a quirky main character. Newspapers…careers…saving a town…friendship…get comfy in a cozy chair…grab a warm blanket…sit in front of a blazing fire…enjoy a cup of steaming herbal tea…get lost in this novel…fiction that reads like nonfiction…it could be true.

This is an absolutely beautiful read. Everyone needs to read this one. Because everyone needs good news. I really wished I was part of this story all the way through and I highly enjoyed it all.
