Holly's Inbox : Scandal In The City (2008) - Plot & Excerpts
A light, breezy read. Maybe it was because I read this before first reading the prequel to it, but I didn't feel for the characters at all. I felt more like a voyeur than the excited secretary ferreting through office correspondence. I didn't get why Toby seemed so aloof, what Holly and him saw in each other, etc etc. and was only filled in through whatever little that was revealed in the e-mails. Holly behaved more like a teenager than an adult who had already been through one marriage; Toby was like an unreadable book, her friends were probably the only entertainment.Who knows, I might have liked this book better if I had read the first one. Product Description:Dear Holly, isn’t it shocking…?Things are finally going Holly Denham’s way: she’s in love, she’s getting the recognition she deserves at work, and her friends and family have graciously opted to avoid disaster for the moment.Just when Holly is starting to settle into her new life, scandal erupts and Holly finds herself-and her in box-at the center of a gossip whirlwind that threatens everything she’s worked so hard for.Written entirely in emails, this follow-up to the UK smash hit Holly’s Inbox will keep you glued to its pages as the scandal running rampant in the city threatens to ruin Holly’s hard-earned and long-awaited happiness.I read the first novel almost as soon as it came out, and loved it. When I saw the sequel, I snatched it up. Well…. it’s not as good as the first one (Did i expect it to be? No.). Should you read it? Maybe. Did you read the first one? If so, read the sequel. If not, skip it. Don’t expect to be blown away. But, if you are laying on the beach and sipping a girly drink….

Loved it. Frothy, insubstantial, complete bubble gum: In other words, the perfect summer book.
