I love a good rom-com. And I've read my fair share of them. So finding a new voice and refreshing take on the romcom genre is always a happy occurrence.  Enter Kimberley Allsopp and her debut novel 'Love and Other Puzzles' (HarperCollins Australia). A fantastically original story that had me fizzing with laughter. Warm, witty and clever, it had me hooked from start to finish. I had a wonderful chat with Kimberley on the podcast a little while back.
