Hilarious, relatable and heartwarming: the brand new romantic comedy from Lindsey Kelk. When Ros steps off a plane after four years away she’s in need of a job, a flat and a phone that actually works. And, possibly, her old life back. Because everyone at home has moved on, her parents have reignited their sex life, she’s sleeping in a converted shed and she’s got a bad case of nostalgia for the way things were. Then her new phone begins to ping with messages from people she thought were deleted for good. Including one number she knows off by heart: her ex’s. Sometimes we’d all like the chance to see what we’ve been missing…

One missed chance in life...one second chance in love.
Rosalind Reynolds is back in London after a failed sojourn in the US, and she's desperately in need of a new job, a new home, and a new start. But all she can do is look back at how great things used to be, while it seems like everyone else has moved on without her. Then a series of accidental textcapades brings Patrick back into her life - the one who got away...
I found In Case You Missed It to be sweet and breezy, genuinely funny without sacrificing sincerity, and exactly the kind of charming escape I’ve been looking for these days. I loved Ros's snarky narrative voice, and truly appreciated that, when her friends call her clever and witty, she is legitimately clever and witty (albeit prone to some truly terrible decisions). The relationships between Ros and her friends and family are strong, engaging, and authentic; on the downside, I couldn't bring myself to care much about the eventual love interest, who never really gets to shine or be that much of a character in his own right, and I was more invested in Ros dumping her boyfriend because he treats her terribly than because of her (lack of) chemistry with the other option. But overall, the relatably stuck-but-optimistic Ros Reynolds and the various shenanigans and hijinks of her life outshine the mediocrity of the romantic angle.
