A review by emmalynn
Notting Hell by Rachel Johnson
2.0
So, I was expecting something like Sophie Kinsella or Marian Keyes, you know, fluffy chick lit' but actually well written and very funny, even moving at times.
This wasn't it.
It took me absolutely forever to finally get the tiniest interest in the characters. Besides, nothing really ever seems to happen. The writing is okay-ish at best, and as for fun, it's just not there.
I still finished it and all right, the last 100 pages were less boring than the rest but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
One positive remark: there's a French character who uses a lot of French words/sentences whenever she speaks and those dialogues are actually written in correct French without spelling/grammar mistakes. I shouldn't be so surprised about this but it surely doesn't happen often in English/American books so well done for that Ms. Johnson.
