This is a great example of what Jess called my candy genre, I think. It's fun, but ultimately very predictable, and that makes it - well, less fun than it could have been. All of the roadblocks are obviously roadblocks, every conflict is neatly resolved by book's end... This is more of a good timewaster than a good book. But I'm not the best judge of books like this.This was a ton of fun, with an incredibly satisfying emotional payoff. The characters are well-drawn enough to evoke Cecelia Ahern (without the magical realism) with maybe a touch of Bridget Jones's Diary (though a very light touch).What makes the book work, for me, is that I just liked Abigail so much. She has been in emotional stasis for a long time and seeing her emerge, and mature, was just a whole lot of fun. Frankly, it's a bit brilliant to take an ignorant observer and thrust them into
Is that..Is that an angel singing out there? Yep, I guess it is. So, now I'm gonna add a few gifs, just to let you know (see) how I felt troughout the book.Let's say, 15% done:I was a little disappointed. Confused. I didn't like it. 30% done: And I was like: mmmh, let's see what happens next. 55% done: I WANT MORE I WANT MORE.New Year's Eve's kiss:THE Hong Kong Kiss and..Well:Robert's final wedding speech: IT WAS SO PERFECT.
That's it? That's it? No, that can't be it!I feel cheated. It was all going sooo well, I even cried, and then... suddenly they're confessing to each other, then boom, everything's fine. Why? I just feel like... I feel like... I feel like I should've been there to witness everything as it went. But Ms.Burgess skipped it. How things come together, how they resolve it is important to me. But there was no confrontation thing during the end. They were just ...suddenly fine.For instance (quote towards
This was so much more than I thought it was going to be. I'm so glad I picked it up. Be cool Be sillyBe detached Be directAct brutal Be kindStay in control Let yourself do whatever you wantBulletproof Have an open heartAlways leave them before they leave you Be true to yourself and everything will work out. Loved it! I could really relate to some things. I was stuck for years with "Dave" situation (not exactly the same, long story for another time) and this year I finally got him out of my life
First I want to say this, when I got to about 98% of the book I started crying happy-romantic-silly tears!!Then I was devastated the book was overMy husband hated me for a couple of days, as the book was getting all my attentionWhat more to say, the perfect romantic chick-lit, with the perfect never-once-boring pace from the start till the end!!Loved loooveeed looooooveeeeeed it!You get to know Abigay throughout the book, feeling her emotions and sharing her deepest thoughts, and you cant help
"I've discovered the secret to successful singledom. I'm acting like a man. And it's working." YES! This book made me laugh out loud and proud to love to read chick-lits. Calling all single ladies, you need to read this book! I feel us single ladies take our dating status as a mark of shame or punishment when we should be laughing more than crying of lack of men or horrid dates. Gemma Burgess makes dating life fun and laughable, which it is. She makes us women feel powerful, beautiful, and sexy,
