It’s a chance to get together, sing along to their favourite tracks from the best-loved West End shows, and forget the worries of work, relationships and love (or lack of it). But when Issy shares the details of their little group further afield, they get some unexpected new members who might just change their opinions on singledom for good….

    A quick, mood-boosting read you can feel good about. The story is sweet without being too saccharine, and the casual feminism is affirming without being pedantic. Just the thing to brighten up an afternoon!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Fun and original
    Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2016
    When I first heard about The Singalong Society for Singletons, I immediately thought that it was a really fun idea to mix musicals with a love story and after reading it, I can say that it was indeed a great idea. The story focuses on Mon, who after breaking up (or actually still being on a break, even she doesn't really understand what is going on) with her 10-year boyfriend, creates this society for her friends to meet every Friday to watch a musical and sing along and dance until they have forgotten about all their problems.

    Thanks to Mon's idea, this group of friends soon becomes a close unit that support each other and share their fears and doubts. I loved how well the dynamics of the group worked and how every character had their own story and moment in the spotlight. I really enjoyed reading about them and I ended up caring for them all too. I also felt like we really got to know them and their situations sounded real and possible on real life.

    Then, there was the musical aspect the story. Each chapter focused on a musical (mainly movies but some live shows too) and I think Katey Lovell made a great job of "matching" musicals with what was going on with the characters. Also, being quite a musical lover myself, I really enjoyed all the references to some of my favourite shows and with every new chapter, I kept adding movies I had to watch again.

    As I said, I think the concept for this story was original and fun and really well executed. The only thing that bothered me a bit was Mon's story per se. I was never sure what she really wanted, especially at the beginning. -But it's true though that as the story progressed we started seeing a better version of herself and I started liking her more and more. I think that the ending was the perfect decision as it fitted with the story and the evolution of all the characters involved.

    All in all, a fantastic debut novel from Katey Lovell. I'm sure we'll soon get more fun and feel good stories from her.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Loved it!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2016
    *Book provided by the author in exchange for an honest review*

    The main characters are teachers and the book is all about musicals, the perfect combination for me. I got really excited when I first heard about Katey’s book, because I’m a huge musical fan!

    Mon and Issy are teachers and what they love most is musicals! Their Friday night consist of watching one and having fun. Things change about when they are joined by Mon’s sister Grace and Mon’s boyfriend leaves for a America for a year. “The Singalong Society for Singletons” is born. Every Friday night is dedicated to another show and so is every chapter. The idea of this is very clever and fab! Every time someone else picks the musical and it was always very interesting, to see what they would pick.

    After a while they are joined by some unexpected strangers, who quickly become part of the singalong party. They have a lot of fun together and I just loved all the musical theatre talk. It’s a book I’ve been waiting for! Musicals are included and the characters love them as much as I do.

    Things change with these new arrivals, for Issy, but also for Mon, who still has a boyfriend in the States. However, she starts questioning her relationship with Justin.

    Even though the whole story is based on these musicals, the characters still get their story to tell and it’s actually a great mix and change between the scenes. This book is great, because Katey has a real talent for developing a storyline, creating relatable characters and still including so much about all these musicals.

    Some musicals covered are Lis Mis, Oliver!, Wicked, Grease and many more. It was very exciting to see the characters interact while watching them and then also overcoming hurdles and other things.

    This is definitely a feel good read, with emotions, fun and lots of excitement. I was actually sad, when I had to say goodbye to the characters and that’s always a good sign ;).

    Oh I have so much love for this book. I adore the premise for this book and simply need to start a singalong society of my own.

    Let me tell you a little secret I love musicals. Oh wait it's not a secret at all everyone knows it. My lovely and wonderful mum got me into musicals from a really early age. I'm talking probably before I was born. But I do remember proper musicals always being on the tv when I was growing up. This had led to me loving nothing more than going to the theatre to watch my favourite musicals. With my mum of course.

    One of my other not so secret loves are Disney movies. I absolutely love Disney and was over the moon excited by the many references and Disney movies referenced in the book. Eeeekkkk.

    I grew up on Disney and musicals and it's not a surprise that I could quote you the dialog and sing the songs at the drip of a hat. Hell I don't even need a drop of the hat I just do it anyway.

    So this book was right up my street from the beginning. Throw in a great storyline, some amazing characters that I would just love to be friends with. Throw in pretty much every emotion that you can think of and hay presto you have a book that is made for me.

    This book is perfection and I really really want it to be a series. I really ant to visit these characters again in the future and I really really can't wait to read more books by Katey Lovell.

    Please please go to your bookshops in the 15th of December when this amazing book hits the stores. Or even better if you have a kindle you can download it now for just £2.99 it's a steal at half the price.

    I love this book. Thank you Katey Lovell.

    I was delighted to hear Katey get a book deal after being fellow book blogging buddies for a few years . I finally got round to reading this gem of a book last night

    I have read a lot of review books recently and in particular crime books so it was lovely to relax with a fun read.

    This is a beautiful book with great characters !

    I must admit there was some swooning going on over liam for me .

    This is romantic ,funny and in many ways like a musical in itself.

    I loved being part of this group’s Friday night gang and as the musicals change weekly so do the characters in terms of self development .

    New friendships ,relationships ,work and personal goaks

    Fantastically written especially as a debut …. Well done!!!!

    I can’t begin to imagme that sheer joy and pride of seeing your book on the shelf but next best thing is rooting for lovely people to have that opportunity.

    I look forward to reading more from Katey .

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 7, 2016

    I love musicals - who doesn't, right? - so I was sure I'd love this book, and I wasn't wrong.

    Twentysomething Monique, known as Mon, is left in limbo when her high school sweetheart Justin leaves her to spend a year in Chicago for work. How will she cope while the two of them try to deal with being officially "on a break", Ross and Racheal style? Why, with the Singalong Society for Singletons, of course!

    As Mon and her single friends Issy, Hope, Connie, Ray and Liam feel their way through a selection of classics including Grease, Oliver!, Rent, Frozen, Les Mis, White Christmas and many more - not without cynicism from some members of the singleton society (mainly from Mon's adorably sarcastic sister Hope) - they gradually find that many aspects of life and love are becoming clear both through the jaunty, meaningful tunes they sing along to and the relationships they develop along the way. There are many hurdles to be overcome on their journey to happiness, but the warmth and wit of the principle characters shines through from start to finish and it's hard to help falling for them.

    The book isn't always a feelgood read, as the characters have to deal with some emotional, traumatic issues along the way, but in my opinion this only adds to their depth, leaving my heartstrings well and truly tugged by the end. If you're looking for romance, friendship and a generous dollop of singalong fun, all told with Katey Lovell's characteristic cuteness, humour and charm, this is definitely the book for you. Every character will be like an old friend by the end of the story: I was so sorry to say goodbye to them. And the plot kept me wondering about where Mon's happy ending lay, right until the end. Highly recommended. Five stars.

    I received a free copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
