Love the "I heart" books! Very happy with the latest instalment! Yes it was predictable, but with these books I really don't mind! Angela and Alex are perfect for each other! Some of the things she does are so annoying and I just want to shake her, but it's those things that make Angela, Angela!

These books are the literary equivalent of comfort food. I try not to make too many comparisons to Sophie Kinsella but it really is reminiscent of the Shopaholic series (which is high praise, to be clear).
Kelk's characters are lively and vibrant. She has a real knack for writing female friendships. Her descriptions of Angela and Jenny are genuinely filled with humor and lots of heart. Their relationship is really the backbone of the series; Angela's relationship with Alex isn't written with nearly half as much enthusiasm.
Vegas proves to be another fun and drama filled addition to the series. I'm looking forward to reading more of her books.

Following I Heart Paris, the next book in the series starts with Angela waiting in her new Brooklyn home, for Alex to arrive back after touring with his band. Soon after, she discovers her visa is being revoked and she faces deportation. I'm kind of getting tired of Angela being so stupid and everything going so drastically wrong for her, but I guess that's what keeps the series going. Jenny comes up with a plan- for Angela to get Alex to marry her for a visa... but Angela's not so sure.
What I've learnt about the characters in this book is that Angela is still quite stupid, Alex is too laid back for my liking at times, and I can't stand Cici. Jenny has her usual bitch fit, which is annoying but I'm used to by now. One thing I was excited about when I started reading this book was knowing that Jenny Lopez was back in New York, as I missed her presence in the previous book.
In order to cheer Angela up, Jenny books a trip for the two, as well as Jenny's new friend, to Las Vegas.
As always in Angela's life lots of things go wrong, but we also see that there are many things going on in other people's lives: Jenny and Louisa to name a few. Weddings, boy troubles, enemies,
I was also delighted by the return of James Jacobs; now that he's become a friend to Angela, he really brings something to the book, snapping her back into reality and bringing humour to a negative situation.
This book is just as good as the others in the series, and I'm excited to find out what Angela gets up to next, in I Heart London.

My husband bought me this for Xmas as a reminder of one of the places we visited as part of our honeymoon. What he didn't realise (and neither did I) was that it is part 4 of a series so it wasn't necessarily easy to get to grips with the character. I also have to be in the mood for chick-lit like this so as I wasn't I'm not not sure I enjoyed it as much as I should have.

Not my favourite but this has a good story, Sadie is a new character that's not one of my favourites but keeps it interesting! I fully recommend the whole series though!

Sometimes I wonder if anyone proofread these books. And what the chances are of all the women in these books having the same shoe size. But apart from that, the stories are still very enjoyable.

The ending. THE ENDING.THE. ENDING. How many times do I have to say it before you guys pick this series up? I say it every time but I will say it again Lindsey Kelk has a real talent to bring characters alive and make you emotionally attached to their lives. By the end of her books they don't just feel like characters, they feel friends. But seriously though THAT ENDING
