Shake It Up, Beverley: The laugh out loud Liverpool romantic comedy of second chances in suburbs!

I'm not normally a lover of novels but more of a lover of biography and a big lover of music including Slade and Noddy Holder in particular.I didn't know what to expect with this first novel by author Suzan Holder. I totally hooked on the novel which is a story in a musical Beatles context in Loverpool. This author is very talented!I had great evenings reading this book. I recommend it with pleasure!

This will appeal to those who like Helen Fielding (Bridget Jones) books. To be frank not my cup of tea, but probably a good example of the genre. It was an enjoyable, if instantly forgettable, read

This book, by talented new author Suzan Holder, is about Bev, a widow and mother of 3 young adult boys, who is a big fan of the “Fab Four” Bev has a huge and valuable collection of Beatles memorabilia in pristine condition which she treasures and which is her nest egg. When she decides to try her luck at on line dating her world is turned topsy turvy with twists and turns that are both funny and sad and traumatic. I found this book exciting because there were so many facts and truths about The Beatles and so much information which was well researched. It’s a real page turner and I didn’t want it to finish. Highly recommended, very enjoyable and well worth the journey down memory lane to Liverpool and the Mersey music scene.

This book is such a treasure!! A great work of fiction with many fact-based things about The Beatles and Liverpool UK. The story is a treasure, very well-written with many twists and turns. Have already read it twice and associate many things with it as my husband is from Liverpool so it brings many things home on a personal level. You will totally love everything about it and will be left wanting more!

I needed an escape from reality and a cruel word and this lovely book gave me just that. Job well done!
