book review- alphabet weekends by Elizabeth Noble



This is the 1st book i have read by Elizabeth Noble, and i really enjoyed it, so much so that i now have a few more books by the same author waiting to be read. It's obvious from the start how this book is going to end for the main characters, but as you might have gathered, i like that! i did get confused to start with all the different characters in the book, but eventually i did learn who was who, and who they were married to. but i think the book could have coped with less people in it. The idea of alphabet dates was really good, and lead to some interesting dates- but because it was book-land certain things seemed to be happening just at the right letter!
Overall i enjoyed this book and will give it 4 stars out of 5.

Book Review- The first assistant by Clare Naylor & Mimi Hare



Having read the prequel years ago, i stumbled across this in a charity shop and bought it with interest. I didn't really remember what happened in the 1st book, but jumped straight into this one, once i started reading it, i realised i did kind of remember the 1st book, but didn't really need to, so if you haven't read the 1st book, don't panic. It was a very light read, but enjoyable all the same. Lizzie is dating Luke, but the path of love doesn't run smoothly ( does it ever in these books?!) i won't spoil the ending for you! the plot does take a few strange turns, where i thought; really?; but i think it was to add pages to the story, not unreadable but quite unrealistic and very hollywood filmy.

overall i would give this book 3 stars out of 5.

LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!!!!

if you loved notting hill, love actually or four weddings you need to buy and read this book! i loved every moment of this book and once i had finished it i wanted to reread it to enjoy it all over again :)
I loved scarlett and wanted her to get together with sean from the start. it might be a bit predictable in places but i didn't effect the overall story.

5/5- seriously why are you still reading this go and buy it!

Book review- getting over Mr right, chrissie manby


Back reading authors I enjoy reading is good! Although the main character, Ashleigh, was extreme at times, the book was well written and funny. I could imagine this being made into a film. In fact would say it is like the secret diary if a shopaholic (which I really enjoyed despite not enjoying the latest installment). The best friend was an excellent supporting character as were ashleigh's family. I did spot the ending halfway through the book, but that didn't make the book any less enjoyable! I really recommend chrissie nanny as an author.
I give this book 3.5/5.

Book review- take a chance on me, Jill mansell.

Another Jill mansell book! Another enjoyable read. Yes mansell never rocks the boat with her stories, but this book was well written with great main and sub plots all running consecutively. Cleo is the main character in the book, and all the other characters are linked to her in some way. I enjoyed watching her relationship with johnny unfold, and although the ending was predictable, the sub plots kept it from all being predictable. Overall I give this book 3.5/5.
