“My whole body was shuddering with laughter and it wouldn’t stop!” The Writing GarnetOlive Brewster is living a small, safe life. She’s happy enough with her job at the local market, it’s no big deal that she doesn’t have a boyfriend, she even likes that she still lives in her childhood home. No drama and no fuss means no problems! And that’s just how she likes it…Except … Olive’s best friend … it…
Except … Olive’s best friend in the world, Birdie, is dying.
Birdie has one final wish. She wants to track down her first love, her epic once in a lifetime love, her “Big Sexy Love”, Chuck. And because she’s stuck in the hospital she needs Olive’s help to do it. But there’s a teeny problem: Chuck is somewhere in New York and Olive has never even left her hometown, let alone roamed the crazy streets of Manhattan!
As if the big city isn’t scary enough, Olive has to contend with Seth, a cocky comedy TV writer who thinks she’s a joke; Anders, a bored socialite who’s taken a shine to her; and the fact that no matter how hard she tries to track down Chuck, he does not seem to want to be found.
Can Olive learn to overcome her fears, abandon her old safe routine and fulfil her best friend’s dying wish? It’s going to take extra bravery, one badass attitude and a whole lot of Big Sexy Love to make it happen …

I laughed. I cried. I loved. Over-the-top in a Sophie Kinsella type way, but so funny, so romantic, and so heartbreaking.
I absolutely loved this book!
This was a cute book. Olive’s best friend, Birdie, is dying and has one final wish. She wants a letter sent to her old boyfriend to let him know he was her “Big Sexy Love”. She doesn’t know where he is now so she pays for a flight and Airbnb for Olive so she can go find him and deliver the letter to him. Olive’s trip to New York is one hilarious adventure after another. Will she find Charles “Chuck” Allen, Birdie’s old flame? You will want to read this book to find out and also to find out what kinds of trouble Olive gets into in New York.
Absolutely adored this hilarious book.
Great characters, lovely friendships, and extremely funny!
Big Sexy Love is a laugh out loud, oh my lanta moment throughout. You don’t want to put this book down.
I read the airplane scene while on a plane and I could NOT stop laughing.
This book is so much fun! And it’s laugh out loud funny. I loved every second of it, even when it brought a tear to my eye. Great writing!
I read Big Sexy Love in my search to track down romantic comedy authors from the UK and it was a great read. Olive is not living a life at all. She works at a fish market (I used to visit one while a student so I know exactly how fishy it is), doesn’t go out, and doesn’t date.
The only fun in her life comes in the form of her best friend Birdie, an American tornado who is unfortunately dying. Birdie wants to track down the love of her life, the titular Big Sexy Love, so she can tell him how she feels before she dies. But she’s too sick to do it, so she bullies Olive into doing it for her.
Olive isn’t prepared to even travel outside of Manchester, so the idea of going to New York scares her stupid. There is lots of comedy from the moment she gets on the plane as she meets Saturday Night Live writer Seth, and takes him into the toilet under false pretences. From there on in it’s chaos as she ends up on the news, being arrested and having a unicorn updo.
In my eyes, the biggest strength of Big Sexy Love is the denouement and in particular Olive’s relationship with Birdie. This latter facet of the novel is so poignant and so beautiful that I cried big messy tears as it played out. To have a friendship detailed with such depth and compassion in a novel is a wonderful thing and is right at the heart of this fabulous book.
I loved everything about this book! Kirsty Greenwood not only writes hilarious British romcom that is exactly my style, but her stories and characters make me jealous of how well she can write! (in a good way). I highly recommend anything she writes.
LOVED this book!!!!!! I laughed so hard out loud that the people around me thought I was looney
Great Story. Filled with heart
I loved this. It’s so rare that a book makes me laugh but this one was up there with my favourite author, Sophie Kinsella. Very stylish.
A truly fun read!!
I really enjoyed the character’s and this was really a laugh out loud book! I had to keep interrupting my husband to read parts of it to him. Hilarious and totally recommended!
I wanted to like this book, I really did…but UGH! I had to make myself keep reading it. It was all just unrealistic and too much.
Nobody gets into as much trouble as Olive does, it was incredibly annoying to read. If I was any guy I wouldn’t have given this annoying charter the time of day. Why do women writers feel the need to make women act weak and idiotic? It makes me crazy.
It got a bit better in the end, but it is so hard to get there. Painfully hard.
Absolutely loved this book! My book club can be rather fussy, but this was one read we all agreed was fun — made us laugh; made us cry — made us want more from Kirsty Greenwood
Very much enjoyed this funny, original, well written story and characters!! I laughed and cried!! Will definitely put Ms Greenwood on my favorites list!!
Not your average romance-this had some interesting twists and turns. Better than most modern stories!
I really loved this book! The characters were well developed and really fun! A great story and a comedic one.
I really did like this book and it stayed with me. It was predictable in the fact that I had already come to the realization that it was a trip to expand her horizons but the actual contents of the letter was a surprise. I was glad that the young lady wrote what she did. His reaction was interesting. Why would he even have a reaction.
