Hopelessly Devoted to Holden Finn by Tilly Tennant
4.0
Very cute book, an easy read after finishing something heavy.
Bonnie Cartwright is 35, has a 15 year old daughter Paige, a husband that went AWOL two years ago, a job in a fruit and veg shop, a best friend named Linda, a rocker mother named Jeanie, and a huge crush on 23-year old pop star, Holden Finn.
Bonnie spends her days working at the fruit & veg shop and writing letters to Holden that she never sends. She feels lost and alone after her husband Henri up and left for no reason, and fantasizes about Holden. When her daughter Paige wins tickets to meet him, Bonnie is ecstatic at the prospect of meeting him. She gets swept up in the emotion of it all before realising that we don't always want what we wish for.
Meanwhile, delivery man Max is head over heels for Bonnie, but she's having none of it. So when Max starts dating beautiful Sarah, why is Bonnie so sore about it?
I really, really enjoyed this book. It was light and easy to read, and all the main characters were likeable. Interesting premise and it was well done! I enjoyed this every bit as much as Jojo Moyes' latest one.
