And it’s so much work, [but] I’ve had so many fun things to do that I hadn’t even realised that I didn’t have one until people started asking me and I was like, “That’s right, I forgot! Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York has also produced a best-selling romance with her family-inspired historical, Her Heart For A Compass, alongside Marguerite Kaye. It was meant to be the holiday of a lifetime, a chance to extend her travel blog, her best friends’ wedding and perhaps, if her friends were correct, her own proposal…Until Samantha found herself on her way to Tobago alone – and single. I'm not bothered too much about all the cliché things like holiday romance and whatnot but it felt like first draft: the pen was just put to paper.
Amber is also narrating the audiobook herself (“I don’t know why I signed up to do that with my Geordie accent! In June 2021, it was announced that Gill would present The Full Treatment on ITV2 alongside fellow Love Island winner Kem Cetinay. She had felt underrepresented in media during her youth and wanted the book to be based around a Black love story.I think if we had more descriptions of her actions rather than direct statements, this could’ve helped. Samantha and Rowan’s bond is instant, even though they try to fight it, wary of putting their hearts on the line. This coming year promises to be an equally exciting time with the launch of a new product range and a TV show.
We did huge brainstorming sessions about characters and plotlines and locations and she just really helped me get the messages and the plot that I wanted, and the characters’ personalities, on the paper better,’ the TV star and influencer shared. I want to create a narrative that changes this, that lets people see themselves in the heroine or hero.
Truthfully I am not the biggest fan of “insta love” scenarios like this but the author did a great job of making it feel realistic.
We had an our recently jilted protagonist, Samantha, who was trying to figure out what her next move was both in business and life in general, and we also had our handsome love interest, Roman, who was also recently single and trying to find the next move in his career as well. As I was coming to the end of Until I Met You again, [this time] speaking it, I was like, “I wonder if there could be a follow-on for any of these characters? Samantha and Roman are our main characters but we got drama surrounding their friends who are getting married, things going on in Sam's friend group and a random surprise visitor to the end of the book that had me like ummmm whomst is this? I loved the diversity and the way I could sense Ambers personality and manner of speaking through the blog drafts.However, Amber did find inspiration in her real-life friends to help with the novel’s supporting cast of characters, as well as a bit from herself, saying that she has told her loved ones to see if they can guess which character ‘I would think I was’ (not that she’ll tell us). I don’t think real people have conversations like that and some conversations really made me laugh because of how ridiculous they were.
