My Thoughts

‘Yeah, well, I’m living the dream,’ I said, detangling myself and adjusting my hemline. ‘Although most of the time it feels like a nightmare.’
This book is classic British rom-com: fresh, funny, bright and comical. You journey right along with Emma throughout the tale in a laugh-along classic British way. There are no real surprises here and therefore it’s a pleasant enough way to pass a weekend to its obvious conclusion.

‘This is me. Hair up, no eyeshadow. And my underwear doesn’t match.’
I cannot help, however, but feel there were a few too many characters and just a little too much going on - it all seemed rather busy. And if you don’t appreciate the left of centre British humour, their eccentricity may leave you confused (including interesting use of language). Overall, for me, there were just too many people involved that I had trouble following; and a rather complex and over the top plot - I confess to skimming over some sections. It was just a little bit all over the place for my liking.

‘I tried to laugh a response, which came out as a strangled snort, and then coughed as I choked on my own saliva.’
