Very Meh
Very boring slow beginning,repetitiv , unpleasant with her mother criticising her,sexism and ruminations of her mother dying and her dissatisfaction with her life and her boss being rather horrible and demoting her .
40% of the book is spent in London until she finally travels to the countryside which is the cozier part of the book ,it seems like it's taking forever to get there around 11 chapters of an unpleasant introduction to her life and her wanting to quit her job,drunk embarrassment...
Supposedly the author is Fiona Gibson,under a fake name.
There is a major theme of infidelity throughout the book.It doesn't get that cozy feel until around 70% in of the book and the audiobook is not that relaxing because every so often there's a character who raises their voice either shouting or very enthusiastic and also there's a small segment of a kid's squeaky high-pitched voice. It's incredibly repetitive, which makes me wonder if this was originally posted in a magazine and cut up into segments with repetition so that readers could follow on from the last issue. I skipped about four chapters and it didn't really make a difference because what happened in those chapters seemed to have been told about four more times throughout the later parts of the book.I've finished two of her books now, and they were both very average that I pushed through to the end. Both of them I wouldn't read again, and I also wouldn't be interested in the rest of the series.
Not much character growth, accents can be bad and so many characters.
Some of the drama at around 88% (chapter 28) just felt forced and laughably silly.
The fashion blogs were funny and more of those would have made the book worthwhile instead of useless long winded descriptions.
It felt so predictable about Sean .
