The Dream House by Rachel Hore
1.0
Hmm, I read the first 20 odd pages - I don't like the main character! She's a bit too middle class for my liking. My husband told me off for wasting time reading stuff I didn't like, but just went through some reviews on here, so maybe i'll give it another 30 pages...
Right well, it took me just about 6 months to get back into this book. Picked it up around May 2012 in vain hope of finishing to take back to Lynda (my mother-in-law) in the UK. But, only finished it on the day we got BACK from the UK! Anyhoo, passed it onto Lynda when she visited in July.
About the book: Far too obvious with the characters and the plot. Middle class woman, struggling in London with life/work balance, move out to the country, marriage ends, find your "dream house", find new love interest, live happily ever after. The moment Dan got on the page, I knew he was going to be the "man", Dan the Man!
Anyway, read it, and I'm now thinking I am not going to buy books with interesting looking covers any more. Granted I'm not very choosy in my reading, but this was not time well spent.
