Ohhh é tão fofinho :) Adorei este livro. Andava mesmo a precisar de ler um deste género. Adorei as personagens, principalmente a pequena Daisy e a sua imaginação recheada de magia. O final foi inesperado mas gostei ainda mais do que aquele que eu supunha que ia acontecer.No meio da leitura encont...
Realmente, este livro lê-se de uma assentada, a sua leitura é bastante fácil e compulsiva.Pela sua sinopse, pensei que fosse bem mais divertido. Tem partes cómicas, sim, mas esperava outra coisa! Houve alturas em que fiquei irritada com o desenvolvimento da história, por ver tanta hesitação em re...
During December I like to take a break from my usual books and read fluffy Christmas stories. Nothing wrong with that, they are fun, frothy little snowflakes. Usually.Unfortunately, this isn't a Christmas story. It is a story which feels that the holiday connection is tacked on at the beginning a...
I like the plot line of this story. It's simple, but there are layers of twists. While we know that that Leonie is running away from her past, her story is deeper than anyone can predict.It's nice that Leonie's story isn't revealed all at once but in sections. I almost forgot that there are tran...
Inhalt: Von einen Tag auf den anderen reist Leonie von ihrer Heimatstadt Dublin nach San Francisco. Ihren Freunden will sie keine Rechenschaft über ihre plötzliche Flucht abgeben. Fest steht aber, dass irgendetwas zwischen Leonie und ihrem Verlobten Adam vorgefallen sein muss. Ansonsten würde Leo...
This was easy reading, to the point of being so lightweight I was glad to finish it. The main characters - all 30-something females - were so shallow and obsessed with what they wanted out of life and how they compared to others, particularly when it came to either career or babies. I lost coun...
I thought it was about time I read a nice easy girly read - am glad I did. It was a refreshing change to read something light but as gripping as the last few books I have read. Read in one sitting - it was no award winning writing however the characters are realsitic and the storyline although sl...
Well, not really read but had enough , that's why no stars at all. Despite the blurbs on the back that told me 'the kind of a book that you can't put down' I did.The characters - Ruth, Jess, Nina and Trish all in their thirties or thereabouts were the most self absorbed shallow characters. I coul...
This was a book that I didn't want to finish, ie I didn't want the story to end. A sequel of this would be great to see how the main characters' lives turned out after. The twist was great never saw it coming! Great stories, twists and turns throughout this whole book and loved how the 3 main cha...
I love the idea behind this story, but the main character was just so simplistic and naive. For someone who lives and works in New York City, she did not act it. Her 10 year old son is in the emergency room with a few cuts and bruises, and you would think he was near death! And the ending was mo...
This book was very sweet. The writing style somewhat reminded me of Maeve Binchy, using a story within a story method, which I love. I thought the plot was well thought out, and I really likes how the journey of the bracelet back to it's owner wasn't rushed. So often you read a book and think, "G...
Too long. That's my first initial reaction to "The Charm Bracelet." I read it as an ebook and it was over 700 pages. If that had been action packed drama, I might not have minded. But the truth is, it was 700 pages of knowing what was going to happen and then waiting for it to materialize.The wri...
Must be something in the air. This is the second story related to bucket list that i've come across this week. Hmm.. The story is about Abby, who was pretty devastated after she was dumped by her long-time boyfriend. She started absorbing herself in her work & avoiding family/friends. One day she...
Tara Harrington's life seems perfect - a successful career as a life coach, the flashy sports car to match, and a happy home with Glenn. But when her difficult younger sister Emma announces she's pregnant, and refuses to divulge who the father is, suspicions are aroused all round. Tara's best fri...
Laura closed her eyes in silent prayer. Please, please, let it be that man calling back – the one who was looking for the engagement ring that time. Three weeks later it was highly unlikely. That day, having returned from collecting Kerry, she had waited and waited for him...
‘Sorry for phoning so early, but with the time difference it’s hard to know when to catch you.’ ‘No problem and it’s great to hear from you!’ she replied smiling. It was just after eight in the morning, so by Leonie’s reckoning, it had to be lunchtime back home. ‘I’m sorry I haven’t phoned myself...
In all her life, she had never seen the place without the signature picture frames on the wall, old Singer table in the corner, or the cherry red bar stools at the counter. Colm and the staff had done much of the work for her, allowing her to supervise from a chair in the corner. &nbs...
Her breath caught as she smiled at the scene before her. Sam was on the street teaching Patrick how to use a skipping rope. The two of them were laughing and clearly enjoying themselves. The hair on the top of Sam’s head was standing as it did most times, and Nina felt an ...
Edgar Allan Poe ‘So which ravishing hero delayed you this time?’ Joshua teased Darcy the following morning when she arrived a couple of minutes late to open up at Chaucer’s. ‘Heathcliff or Rochester? Don’t these Regency cads realise you have a job?’ ‘It was Mr Darcy actual...
She rarely shopped there, preferring to get a full grocery shop in the larger supermarket on the outskirts of town, but today she had an ulterior motive. In the few times she’d been here since moving to Lakeview, mostly popping in for milk or after a day out with Adam, she’d realised that the sho...
Wiping her hands nervously on her skirt, Maia shrugged,“I suppose in a manner of speaking—he has a bed to sleep in, fresh bath towels and a roof over his head.” “But did you hear him? His family lives close by—and his father is dying. Clearly, something isn’t right betwee...
It was New Year’s Eve, and he had arranged for Daisy to spend the night at her friend Tanya’s house as he really felt he needed some alone time with Vanessa.He was determined to make tonight special. He had champagne on ice and had spent the day preparing a lavish meal in the hope of showing her ...
No matter what she tried to do, her thoughts kept drifting back to Cara. Cara and her beach wedding. Cara and her need to rush them all off to some foreign country where they would all probably get sick and die of some strange tropical disease or, at the very least, all get food poisoning from ea...
