I Followed the Rules by Joanna Bolouri
5.0
If you loved Bridgit Jones you are going to love Cat (Catriona) Buchanan.
Being a single mum and not having much luck in her love life, Cat decides to kill two birds with one stone. Her column in a Scottish paper isn't getting the readers it once did and after being ambushed into reading The Rules of Engagement by a work colleague, Cat decides to take on the challenges in the book to find herself a man and to also write about her experiences in her column to hopefully bump the figures up.
I Followed the Rules is such a light hearted and uplifting read. I loved the storyline and there is a great mixture of characters.
Grace, Cat's daughter is adorable and I love Cat's interfering sister Helen. Cat herself is a great character and comes across as being a lot of fun, would certainly love to have her come along on a girls night out.
You don't need to be a rocket scientist to work out what is going to happen in the story and that's what I love about chick lit books, they are so easy reading so that you can just sit back, relax and enjoy the story for what it is.
As with any love life things never go to plan even if you are following instructions! Luckily being married myself I won't be attempting the rules in The Rules of Engagement any time soon.
Many thanks to Quercus Books and Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
