pynkbyrd 's review for:
For Twice In My Life
by Annette Christie
This is the second book I've read by this author. The first, The Rehearsals, was stellar. I wasn't as happy with this book. There was a lot going for the book. The basic premise, being given a "do=over" after a break-up, was fine. It could go pear-shaped at any time, in many different ways. Layla had an interesting job and Ian seemed like a fantastic boyfriend. But I spotted the second storyline immediately and thought it was icky. Not to mention Layla's mistaken assumptions about her mother. It was just weird. I never saw what made her jump to conclusions about what her mother was doing. It could have been so many things, but Layla, because of her own failed relationships, went right to the dark side.
I still love this author's writing. I will always read anything she puts out. I like how she writes about imperfect relationships and couples. I think she's more realistic than flowery.
Thank you, NetGalley, for the chance to read and review this book. All opinions are mine and freely given.
