About Us

About Us


We began as two book lovers who fell in love with chick lit with Marian Keyes and Bridget Jones’s Diary and decided to share our love of reading and our favourite genre with online reviews. Since Novel Escapes was formed in 2009, we’ve reviewed hundreds of novels, grown to add many more reviewers, hosted giveaways, interviews and author guest reviews. And mostly importantly, we love shouting out about great reads!

 Our Reviews

Our reviews are a quick overview of the book and our opinions. We don't get bogged down in too much detail because we don't want to give anything away, and if it's a great book you should start reading it instead of reading a long winded review. We also want to move on to other books as quickly as possible to bring you more reviews.

The star rating at the top of each review is either the rating of one reviewer or an old school average rating when Kathryn and Lydia thought they could read and review every book. Now that we've become inundated with review requests we decided it wasn't feasible to continue this, and in addition to not posting multiple reviews per book, we've brought on several new reviewers to keep those reviews coming! There may still be some overlap from time to time though.

We do receive novels for review from publishers, publicists and authors, but all opinions are our own and we never charge for our reviewing services. Read our Review Policy.

Thanks for visiting and we hope we can help you find your next great read!
