I love Dorothy Koomson, she is one of my favourite authors! She writes excellent page turning modern day romantic novels perfectly. I prefer some of her other novels over this, I believe this was her debut, she’s grown as a writer for sure! Worth a read

Okay what I loved about this book was the way it ended. It ended the way I imagined but it still caught me by surprise. 

The storyline was quite slow at the beginning, skimmed through some lines honestly, I began to get interesting in the middle.

I liked the characters development and how some things were revealed slowly towards the end.

It was a good read bit I won't recommend for someone trying to get out of a reading slump might just put you back in it

NO, SERIOUSLY!

That's what I did when I finished the book. I squealed, incoherently. And it felt so so so good to do that. This book was so freaking awesome.

I seriously don't know how to review this book. I don't want to review this book.

This is one of those books I don't want to share with anyone. Crazy, right? Because usually when you find something this good, you want others to fangirl about it, but this one? Nope. Because, well, because reasons! :P

Also, her 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' is my 'Supernatural'
Her 'Angel' is equivalent to my 'Winchester Brothers'.

P. S. I have no idea what purpose, if any, this 'review' serves! :P

You can tell that I loved this book as I read it in 2 days!! Our internet cut out this evening so I read whilst tuning the tv in! Such an easy read, love the characters, love the author I haven't read a single Dorothy Koomson book I have not liked! She is on my fav authors who I always look forward to reading! Her writing style is superb! It's also a really clever concept! 4 stars DK another triumph of a book :)

Glad this wasn't the first of her books I have read as it would be the last. The writing is excellent, as is the character development but the story is twee and frustrating. Also her name annoyed me (irrational, me). This was the first book in a long time that I didn't read properly - I got about 200 pages in and realised I just didn't care so skimmed through the latter part to the epilogue. It's something I rarely do but I did feel that investing any more was time wasted. Do yourself a favour, skip this and read her later work - much much better!
