Why London, Actually? is a beautifully layered story about love, friendship, and self-discovery set against the electric backdrop of London. Following four university friends from different corners of the world, this book captures the chaos and beauty of early adulthood—complete with misunderstandings, passion, and the weight of secrets. The chemistry between Bella and Alex kept me hooked, but what I really loved was how real and relatable the friendships felt. It’s the kind of book that makes you want to call your best friends after finishing it.

This book? A whole vibe. Why London, Actually? is like sipping a fancy cocktail in a city that never sleeps—sharp, intoxicating, and filled with unexpected twists. Alex and Bella’s chemistry? Off the charts. But it’s not just a love story; it’s about friendships, culture clashes, and the messy, beautiful chaos of being in your twenties. One minute I was swooning, the next I was yelling at the characters to get it together! If you love drama, deep emotions, and a cast that feels alive, this one’s for you. Read it, obsess over it, then thank me later. 😉📚✨
