This basically reads like a teen book of gossiping girls instead of mid 20's age women. Far too much drinking and drama involved and the majority of the characters are air heads. The premise of a dating sabbatical was interesting but with Sass getting involved in her friends dating and love life ...
I loved A Girl Like You so I thought I'd give this one a read... it was a bit disappointing. There's nothing majorly bad about it all, it just wasn't as enjoyable. One of the things that did get to me was that I feel like Burgess may have gotten a bit confused about what feminism is. This didn't ...
I read this because I loved A Girl Like You. Unfortunately this is not quite so good. A lot of things that seemed witty and original in that book are repeated here (to be fair I'm not sure which one came first though) and don't seem quite so charming. Another problem is that Sassy's love interest...
Another beauty from Gemma Burgess. I'm slowly working through all her books, I had a review planned in my mind...to request/ask about a sequel...but it appears i'm behind as the 2nd book is listed on here! I will be getting any others in the series as soon as I can.The book is well written, tread...
Žiaľ, ako som sa na to tešila, tak som bola sklamaná :( Po prvej tretine knihy som si myslela, že to už ani nedočítam, ale je to napísané (štýlom) fakt takým ľahkým, že ako prázdninové čítanie v pohode obstojí. Ale chýbala mi tam nejaká hlbšia myšlienka, skrátka niečo WOW. Asi mi táto konzumná pá...
Loved this book. I picked up four new slang words. Not that I would ever utter them. What sounds funny out of a 23 yo comes off as desperate for an older gal. However, I enjoyed reliving my youth while reading. Noone can quite nail female friendship like Nora Roberts, however this author does a...
It’s all boutiques and trees and tiny cafés, the kind of picture-perfect Manhattan neighborhood that makes you feel a mixture of longing and resentment. She’s also going through her “downtown intellectual slum” phase, or at least that’s what her mother told my mother. (Cornelia’s mother is a Bost...
‘Your nerves?’ echoes Robert disbelievingly. He’s had two pints of water and a lemonade, and I’ve had a large whisky (just to calm the nerves). His face has colour again, and we’ve decided to wait for Luke, Sophie and Dave in a bar in Notting Hill that Plum keeps talking about. ‘Fresh air is good...
But he doesn’t answer. And unfortunately, I don’t think “I love you I’m sorry please love me again” is the kind of thing you can leave on a voice mail or send in a text. But I can’t turn up to Potstill to tell him how I feel about him, and beg him to forgive me, while I’m looking like shit, all w...
