Your Perfect Year by Charlotte Lucas
2.0
2,5 because of Jonathan and the thmes, the good parts fo the book.
Took me almost 3 weeks to finish, and I finished because I wanted to read the next one... I liked the themes, such as alcoholism, parenting abuse, health problems and suicide, but it wasn't well delivered. I didn't like the split chapters. Jonathan's side was the one that I liked, so I stopped after his chapters because Hannah's attitude game me the nerves. I don't buy this whole see the positive stuff, forget the bad. This won't stop bad things from happening. Of course that we don't have to be pessimists It's the end of the world as we know it, but we can't ignore bad things. Happiness needs sadness, because otherwise, how can we know what happiness is?
Regarding the story, the begin is too slow, then, a lot of things happen very fast, including the romance. I think it would be better if the friend and Jonathan got together. Hannah needed to grow up a little bit before her happy ending, and Lisa was ready, but her character was just a Jiminy Cricket. I think it's worth reading if you really like chick-lit, maybe you'll enjoy more than I did (and I really like chick-lit, you can see by the books I read).
