It’s with apologies that I post my late review for Spin The Bottle by Isabella May. Thank you to Rachel’s Random Resources and Isabella May for the gifted ebook in exchange for my honest review.
CELESTE thought she had long forgotten the sweet, citrusy kiss she shared with TRAVIS during a game of spin the bottle. Splitting her time between her accounts office in super Instagrammable Notting Hill, and her tiny apartment in quirky Exmouth Market, modern-day life is simply too busy for men. Besides, whenever she tries to find The One, it always ends in disaster. From Tinder tragedies to trampolining tribulations, Celeste is starting to think that she’s cursed.
But then Travis begins to pop up wherever she goes, and Celeste knows with stomach-sinking clarity that fate has finally caught up with them. Inspired by the idea of fake dating, Celeste is convinced the only way out of this mess is to call the curse’s bluff. But will Travis agree to it? And how can she manage not to fall in love?
Pour yourself a lemonade and escape with this gorgeous will-they-won’t-they rom-com set between London and Gibraltar!
Isabella May is an author who, once I discovered her books, became one of my go-to writers. So when I got a chance to read Spin The Bottle, I was raring to go!
If there was ever an author who knows how to successfully combine food with love and humour, Isabella May is the one for me. Celeste and Travis were great, and I loved the chemistry they had throughout. They both had a certain kind of shimmer, if not sparkle, to both their characters.
Their first date disasters really had me laughing. I needed this book so much, if only to lighten my load for the day it took me to read it. Isabella May always weaves the culinary delights, also known plainly as food, into her stories. They have a magic of their own, along with the delightful characters that pop in and out of each story. I always enjoy it when a character I recognise from another of the foodie romance journey books shows up in my current read.
The settings of London and Gibraltar were as always impeccably detailed. I had such vivid pictures in my mind as I read. Isabella May has such a knack of being able to transport me away to whichever location my current read is set in. It adds so much to the story. After I had finished, I felt almost like I had been away… but was terrifically hungry too!

Author Bio
Isabella May lives in (mostly) sunny Andalusia, Spain with her husband, daughter and son, creatively inspired by the mountains and the sea. She grew up in Somerset on Glastonbury’s ley lines and loves to feature her quirky English hometown in her stories.
After a degree in Modern Languages and European Studies at UWE, Bristol (and a year working abroad in Bordeaux and Stuttgart), Isabella bagged an extremely jammy and fascinating job in children’s publishing… selling foreign rights for novelty, board, pop-up and non-fiction books all over the world; in every language from Icelandic to Korean, Bahasa Indonesian to Papiamento!
All of which has fuelled her curiosity and love of international food and travel – both feature extensively in her romcoms.
Isabella is also a Level 4 Pranic Healer and a stillbirth mum.
