Coconuts And Wonderbras: A Romantic Comedy Adventure (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
I've been on a Lynda Renham kick as of late, and have now read four of her books. All of them make me laugh out loud and are a great read at the gym for me. I do have to say though this was my least favorite thus far, and if this is the first one you've read by her don't give up, as the rest of them are AMAZING. This one was my least favorite because of our MC. Her lack of self confidence was so distracting in this book. The second she seems to gain any of it back, she lets one tiny comment send her into a downward spiral into a completely different unrealistic path of thinking. Her constant going back to "toby" and what he would say do and if he loved her was just annoying. I did like our "hero" in this book, and I felt he had a good way of bringing her out of her own head sometimes, but it was really hard to get all the way through this book with this MC. I did enjoy the ending like always though, and like I said earlier it had those LOL moments I've come to expect from this author. Ok so i liked the story and anything else about it but didn't like how it was written.This was funny and relatable especially to ladies who really hates having periods(well ALL woman are like that), whose confidence deflates when looking and comparing themselves with those model-like physique of other women and those ladies who happen to see men that they like the most perfect person then realizes that how could a man like that like me back more so love me when I'm so imperfect in all other ways.Libby's best friend Issy is kind of like me to my best friends and vise-versa. We just blurt out what we think no matter how hurtful the truth might be, since who else is going to say it to your face right? but at the same time supportive and caring.The balance with Tobby and Alex in the story fits just right for me.. Tobby maybe the "evil" guy here and even though he's a prick when he seems he has to he can still be sweet and concerning albeit it not genuine. And Alex is both in control and organize in the outside as well as very much confusing with his own emotions and decisions. I love it about him(i speak if he's real, hahaha!), all his manliness, machoness, masculinity and strentgh oozes from him. LOLI think the part about Issy and Jonathan could be taken out from the story without affecting it much.Not like the sweetness, corny PDA of Libby's parents affects Libby's outlook in life.. :)The ending, wow! it's just like those movies where in the last minute the girl gets her senses back and decides she got to run back to the man she truly loves hoping he would still be there arms open ready to catch and never release her again.

Quick read. I wish the women would stand up for herself and get some dang confidence.
