Book Review: Me before You by Jojo Moyes

Lou and Will are the unlikeliest of people to ever meet, the unlikeliest of people to ever become friends, and the unlikeliest of people to ever fall in love, but they do. I don't want to say anymore because following their journey is to discover a whole different side of this world we live.

It's not very often  I feel inferior as a writer. But today I do. I really really do. 

I don't mean to sound conceited and I guess the only way to explain is to ask you when you go in to work do you feel confident in what you do? When I read a really good book I get that buzz of 'Yeah, I can do that too'. I'd be lying if I said I don't get the 'I can do so much better than that' if I think its bad. Don't we all? But its not very often I read something that completely blows me away... 
I've been reading romance novels for over fifteen years and no one has ever made me cry ... until today. And gawd! I sobbed through the last two chapters. . 

5/5 - It was worth every tear!

Buy Me Before You by Jojo Moyes

The Dating Detox by Gemma Burgess

Spellbound by Gemma Burgess's second novel, A Girl Like Me, I dived into A Dating Detox with so enthusiasm and I wasn't disappointed. Sass is fed up of relationship failures and decides she needs to take a break from the dating scene. In doing so she focuses her energies on herself. She discovers who she can really be and that's really attractive to men. They want her. But Sass doesn't want to risk her new found awesome-ness by entering another relationship... and then there's Jake... who's yummy and comes along at the wrong time... but he's yummy. 


4/5 - This is a great read and I'm eagerly awaiting the next one from Burgess

A Girl Like You by Gemma Burgess

I bought a new phone with an android operating system and with it came this smart little app for reading books! Needless to say I'm in my element :) I love my kindle but its still so precious to me that I'm terrified of losing it when I'm out and about! 


The first book sample I read on my new phone was A Girl Like Me by Gemma Burgess. It's in 1st person ... hummm (see here if you missed my earlier post on 1st person prose) ...but I downloaded the book and continued reading.


Abigail is done with relationship disasters and takes her new roommate's, notorious playboy Roberts, advice on dating. She starts to act like a man. Its vibrant, its energetic, the characters jump off the page and really they have some real chemistry and I enjoyed their journey. What's more the happy ever after left me all warm and fuzzy. 


4/5 - I enjoyed this one enough to buy Gemma Burgess's first title The Dating Detox.
