A review by fersah
The Shelf by Helly Acton

5.0

When I first started reading this book, I had no idea what to expect. I thought I would hate it a quarter of the way through because at times it felt like I was reading about Big Brother. I am the type of person whereby if I stop liking a book midway, I will drop it there and then. I am also the type of person who does not usually leave book reviews but here I am. As well as this, whilst I am also a sucker for reality TV, reading it is not as fun as watching it. However, The Shelf proved me wrong. As you keep reading on, you want to keep on reading. The chapters are short but this is what kept me wanting to carry on reading. The characters are fantastically made up as well as the scenarios. In the end, the message of the story makes you feel empowered as a singleton. Every women has their own timing in doing things. And, it is incredibly difficult to find something when you look for it, we just have to leave it up to fate and kismet! Lovely and easy read.
