This book was very easy to read, well written and flowed well. My only disappointment was that I thought the reason Livi ran away from NZ would be worse than what it really was.
This was a lot of fun to read. Livi does end up "all over the place" after fleeing an embarrassing personal situation in New Zealand to head back to London where she was born. She has some interesting friends and co-workers and faces some family situations as well. There is a chick lit feel, as most of the book is focused on Livi herself getting her life together and not as much on the relationship. It is still plenty satisfying for romantics and has a happy ending that left me smiling.
I became obsessed with this book! This book hooks you in and doesnt let go until the end. It starts out with poor Livi being up locally humiliated when her fiancé is caught making out with another woman on TV. Livi runs away and tries to start a new life without her lifelong best friend Cam. This book is hilarious and crazy and the characters are all nuts!!! I loved it! Livi finds herself and realizes what she wanted all along she already had she only had to pay attention. This is the perfect book for a romance enthusiast and just someone looking for a light fun read!
I couldn't put this book down! It's a feel-good book that's funny has a bit of romance, the ending made me smile. I loved it

Livi Callaway has left her home in New Zealand to return to her birth place England. She's getting away from the fact that her ex boyfriend has totally humiliated her by appearing on a dancing reality TV show. Will she ever be able to show her face again?
While in London she's on a packed tube train, chatting/flirting with an American man, in the rush to get off at his stop his bag gets tangled with hers and he gets off without it. She knows nothing about him, not even his name, only that he is from Idaho.
Her best friend and flatmate Cass convinces her to hunt him down, telling Livi that he could be the love of her life but will Livi agree?
At first glance of this book I thought it might be a bit Mills & Boon type judging by the cover. Thankfully it's nothing like that. I finished this book over 12 hours ago and have thought and thought about it but I still can't make my mind up about it.
While there was plenty going on in the story, a few twists to it, I didn't find it really engaging. I didn't really care what happened to the characters, I just kept on reading to find out what happened. A bit of the plot had no need to be there, like what happened with Livi's parents, that could have been filled with something else which would have made a lot of difference. There were plenty of different characters in the book which made it a bit more livelier.
Told in the third person narrative, there were a few emails between Livi and her old childhood friend Cam. I enjoyed those as it's a bit of a favourite format of mine when reading, anything a bit out of the norm! The author did write this well as it the story did flow.
Would I recommend All Over The Place? I would recommend it, purely because we all have different tastes. I give this book 3 out of 5 stars.

The author writes self-described "foot loose and feel good fiction" which is the perfect description for this story. It was a quick read, the characters were appropriately flawed without being tragic or comical. Great summer read and I would definitely read more by this author.
