I knew exactly what was going to happen from the very beginning of the book, and I was extremely accurate with details as well. even though I knew how it would end, I freaked out the boiling point.. I went complete psychopathic angry, irritated, heart-broken girl. I wanted a different conclusion,...
Assured, with a degree of surprise, by both my daughter and the librarian who stamped the book, that Adele Parks was 'better than you'd expect' this was a bit of a disappointment. I found the heroine self-absorbed and blinkered to a ludicrous degree and the situation she found herself in stereo...
First off I must say I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I downloaded it because I saw Adele Parks at The London Author Fair and her segment was witty, informative and interesting.I was expecting an easy read chick lit type book and it was that but so much more. It starts predictably enough with a di...
2.5 stars. I was enjoying this, it was a solid 3 right up until the last third of the book, and then - disaster. Too many coincidences, way too much exposition and neat realisations, and an ending that I absolutely HATED. Really, really hated. But not as much as I hated the Epilogue. It's a real ...
I started reading this with no expectations and enjoyed it, the character Jo is not a role model, not without flaws nor necessarily someone like you or someone you will relate to at all, but she is an amalgamation of many people we probably know or hear about in our modern society and reading abo...
I was given this as a World Book Night book, and had not read Adele Parks before, but will now certainly read more of her books. From the blurb on the back cover I thought it would be chicklit, but it is so much more and covers a number of women’s issues in a thoughtful and adult way. There is ...
The back cover makes this book sound like an entirely different book than it actually is. Whoever wrote the synopsis for the back cover should be fired because it sounds nothing like the book that I read, except for maybe one or two things that did happen in the book. It makes it sound like it's ...
Cas is a character within this book which you are either going to love or hate in probably equal measure. Cas works in the television industry, she is a producer on a tv channel that is losing audience figures by the day and needs to find a programme to make it stand out from anything else.Cas hi...
Out of all of Adele Parks’ books this is my favourite (with Husbands coming in a very close second). Still thinking of You is about a group of friends who have known each other forever, but when they head off on a pre-wedding trip to France, they find that everyone has something that they are hid...
I get given a lot of books, this was one of them.This is the kind of book that gives women a bad reputation for reading nonsense. I'm not judgemental by nature but this book is written by an idiot, for idiots.I know there is a point in the life of a reader (especially female readers) when you hav...
Lisa always called Carol if she was feeling a bit down. Lisa thought Carol would cheer her up, but that was a mistake. Carol never made Lisa feel better, but Lisa never learned! The good news was that sometimes Carol could boss Lisa out of a bad mood.‘It’s a good thing that the kids can be on the...
