Love And Other Scams By PJ Ellis

‘Love And Other Scams’ is the latest book by PJ Ellis.

Cat has a dangerously dwindling bank balance. She also has:

· a month before her landlord kicks her out
· a surprise wedding invitation from rich mean girl, Louisa
· a secret talent for con artistry

A priceless jewel the size of a cocktail olive is glinting on Louisa’s finger. And when Cat meets her ideal plus one, Jake – who’s gifted at hustling and posing as the perfect boyfriend – this wedding becomes a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After all. How hard can a diamond heist be?

Love And Other Scams’ is a fun, upbeat story that was highly amusing and heartwarming.

Seen through the narrative of Cat who’s struggling to pay the bills but who always puts on a happy cheery face that everything is good. Until her past comes back to her in the form of Louisa, a former university friend who wants Cat to be part of her exclusive wedding. Now with the bills adding up and work drying up, Cat finds herself making an unexpected plan with Jake, a handsome bar menu who like Cat has sticky fingers as they decide to steal Louisa’s wedding ring which will be the answer to all their problems. So the pair of them pretend to be a couple but find it hard to pretend when they begin to fall for each other.

I really enjoyed this story, it gives a fun insight into how the other half live and how people have to be creative and inventive to keep up appearances. I loved the characters, they’re fun and relatable and I kinda loved how what they were doing was illegal, I loved the justification behind it, so they didn’t feel like the bad guys.

Cleverly written and fast paced, ‘Love And Other Scams’ is a fun rollercoaster of a story!

You can buy ‘Love And Other Scams’ from Amazon and is available to buy from good bookshops.
