I made it up until "January A for Abseiling." I could not read anymore. I am sure it is a wonderful book, but there are too many characters and too much back and forth between the characters. I do not care for that when I read books and I just could not read it any longer. Up until where I finished, there was little to make me interested to even try reading more.I've read this book before. It's a solid enough story, albeit predictable. Pet peeve though - too many long streams of dialogue without attributing who said what. For instance - 10 interchanges. Sometimes you get lost as to who is saying what and have to go back to the beginning. I also think there were too many side stories in this book. The mother's depression and sense of self could have been a great story on its own. Lucy and Patrick could have been a novel on its own. I reread it
I picked this book because I needed a pick-me-up after reading something pretty depressing. I expected it to be pretty fluffy, but the other two love stories examined make the book a little more thought provoking. It's not just two made-for-eachother people FINALLY getting together, it's also about the disintegration of love for one couple, and how love changes for another. I admit, the story arc about the infidelity was interesting, moving and thought provoking, but ultimately depressing. I
2.5 StarsThe first part of this book was quite tedious and I actually had to put it down for a week and come back to it. I thought it would be lighter and more fun, but I found the whole thing rather depressing. With a romantic story like this, it is a foregone conclusion that the romantic leads will end up together; so the journey had better be interesting. I think the author tried to achieve this by contrasting the main relationship of Natalie and Tom and their Alphabet dates with the trouble
Predictable plot, garbage characters, I can honestly say I liked no one in this book. I think Noble is a mediocre author at best. If you light like fluff novels with badly executed romances, then you'd love this book. But I really detested it.
This was really (REALLY) similar to the movie "Love Actually" and in this case, I liked the movie more. This book is in English, but it's English English, as in 'hail to the Queen' English. So you have to really pay attention to get what they are talking about. And most of the pop culture references are too British to be familiar. Oh, and it took me 4 chapters to figure out that "knackered" meant tired.Besides that, it's a cute story.
Simple, predictable read. I really just wanted to read more about Natalie and Tom and wanted their characters to develop more. But instead we got Natalie's parents and Tom's brother and his wife and their stories mixed in there too. Too much of them, wanted more Natalie and Tom.A fun concept/idea of the alphabet weekends, I think if the story were more focused on that fun idea, the book would have been better.
