A review by taniabotes
Make or Break by Catherine Bennetto
4.0
3.5 stars rounded up to 4. This was exactly what I needed, escapism with lots of humor, but with just enough deeper issues explored to keep me interested. I listened to the audio version, and Anna Acton (Me Before You) did a brilliant job.
I loved Jess, but sometimes felt her extreme paranoia was a bit too far-fetched. That said, I am really missing her upbeat, zany presence since finishing the book. Another element that I thoroughly enjoyed was that most of the story is set in Cape Town, South Africa. It was lovely reading a book about my country that does not focus on politics, but rather on the beautiful scenery, spectacular wildlife and interesting people.
A great holiday read!
The Story: Jess is a bit of a stress head with a penchant for wild thoughts. So when her boyfriend takes her on a spur of the moment trip to Cape Town, she immediately thinking wedding bells. But that is totally the wrong end of the stick…
