Girls' Poker Night by Jill A. Davis
2.0
Well... This book... I bought it because I had finished all the books that I brought away with me. I'm really not sure how I felt about this book. There were times where I couldn't stop laughing, there was a lot of humour in this book. I couldn't really identify with any of the characters and you didn't see much of them (not even the main character). I didn't like the way it was laid out either. It kinda reminded me of a leaflet... There was too mucgh going on at one time, I didn't feel that it really flowed... But oh well. I decided that she should be let off as this was only her first novel. This isn't a book I would read again.
I read it so quickly as it was a fairly short book and not a challenging read. If you have a couple of hours to fill and want a bit of a laugh then you should read this book.

Living la Vida Loca by Belinda Jones

I started reading this book and then left it for a while so I had something to read on the plane. I managed to finish it on the flight and loved every moment of it. I laughed reading this book and I just felt happy reading this book and that there was a happy ending.
Emma by Jane Austen
3.0
I found this book quite challenging at first simply because of the language use. However it did get better the more you read the book as you began to understand what was being said and what they meant. Sometimes I found a couple of the characters quite frustrating. I thought it was hard to get into the book at first but as you kept reading you became more interested in what was going on.
Kiss Like You Mean It by Louise Harwood
4.0
I read this book whilst I was on the beach. I managed to read this in one day as I simply couldn't put it down. I liked the twists that were in the book and I liked the characters, although I felt that the director should have been more dominant with certain actors rather than letting them do what they like. This book has many funny moments in it and you find yourself wanting the main characters to get together even though you think that she will just be used by him because of his fame and the fact that he knows he can get what he wants whenever he wants it.
It was well written with an interesting plot. The ending suited the book perfectly and you couldn't help but smile.

The Personal Shopper by Carmen Reid
4.0
This book was just so funny. Right at the start you're lead to believe that Annie Valentine's husband has left her with their rebellious teenage daughter and very shy son. Annie's best friend is gay and he really brings a lot of humour to the book. I think he was my favourite character. She works as a personal shopper in a huge shop called "The Store" she's very good at her job and has a few other things that she does on the side to support her family.
All the characters are pretty lovable apart from Gray in my opinion. I didn't really like him from the start but I was happy with the ending and things. It was also a nice twist to find out what happened between her and her husband.
I'll definitely get the rest of the series.

I Remember You by Harriet Evans
4.0
Straight away you want the friends to get together. Well I know I did. The story was very well written and it flowed very well. There was a lot of interesting parts to the plot which maintained my interest. This was the first time I had read one of Harriet Evans books, although there are a couple which have caught my eye. It was a nice story idea and you really felt for the characters at times. You really learn to love the characters (although I wasn't too fond of the Tess' room mate).
Her trip to Italy was very interesting and it was a shock when Adam turns up (especially what happened between them before she left). These two main characters have been best friends since they were kids and it really shows. However when it comes to people that have best friend that's of the opposite sex you tend to think there's something going on (like the whole town did).
I loved the ending, it's what I wanted right from the start.

Please forgive me by Melissa Hill
5.0
I loved this book. Throughout it you're so curious to find out what happened to Leonie and what happened for her to leave Adam; what happened between Alex and her ex husband and most importantly why did Nathan want forgiveness? What had he done?
You're gripped throughout the book dying to know the answers to these questions and the answers don't disappoint. However I was shocked that Leonie left for that reason as it didn't really make that much sense, she didn't hate Adam for something he'd done or anything it was just... Strange, but it was a little sad and shocking. It was also kind of difficult to understand why Nathan was so desperate for forgiveness at first but then you realise what he did and how much that would have hurt his love.
I throughly enjoyed this book and will definitely be buying another Melissa Hill in the future.

I Heart New York by Lindsey Kelk
4.0
I got this book free with Glamour magazine and thought I might as well take it away with me as it was small and handy to carry around. I really liked it, I was surprised how much I liked it. I haven't seen many good reviews of this book and I do understand why.
I found this book very funny but there were some parts I found annoying, like the fact that she kept mentioning that she broke the groom's hand and made the bride cry. We get the message, it didn't need to be mentioned every other chapter. I liked the idea of the story, I made my mind up who I wanted her to be with within the first five chapters, it wasn't very obvious but some of it was a little unrealistic.
I'm not sure why I liked it as much as I did, I just think it's a book that I would like to read again and read the rest of the series. Who knows, it might get better and make more sense.
