Love Is A Four Letter Word (2000) - Plot & Excerpts
This book is chic-lit. I don't often read chic-lit but this was actually quite a good read.Bella is single and about to lose the plot when she decides to buy a house in a small town and reinvent her life. as they do in these kinds of books.Inevitably her dislike for the idea of love is changed when she meets a fabulous man and the usual come here-go away stuff of this genre happens.But in addition to that there are real women's issues discussed too. Bella has a difficult mother to deal with, a placatory father to support, a career decision to make and some mourning to do before she can truly be available to love and be loved. Thsi kind of real stuff for me lifted this book from chic-lit to what I like to call women-lit.I must admit to tears in my eyes and a breathless anticipation as I waited for Bella to get 'there'. An easy but still thought-provoking read.
