I have read some cracking books just lately - even with my dodgy eyesight and having to hold my book at arms length to be able to see the words clearly!!
My 17th book for the Chick Lit Reading Challenge was One Day In May by Catherine Alliott:
One day in May, Hattie's life changes for ever ...Hattie Carrington has good reason to be happy. Her antiques business is flourishing, her teenage son is settled at school and she's enjoying a fling with a sexy, younger man. But when work takes her back to the village of Little Crandon, heartbreaking memories of her first love surface. It seems that the secret affair with married politician Dominic Forbes, which changed the course of her life, just won't go away. So when Hattie's bumps into Dominic's widow and his gorgeous younger brother, Hal, her world is turned upside down. Though she's still trying to hide from her mistakes, she knows that if she's ever to fall in love again she needs to be honest with others, and herself. Can she admit what really happened with Dominic all those years ago? And, if so, is she ready for the consequences?
I loved this book - a perfect holiday story to get yourself lost in. The main character of Hattie was very believable and you soon got gripped with all the different story lines and characters running through the book. I totally wasn't expecting the major twist in the tale towards the end - but I won't spoilt it for you.
My 18th book I blogged about yesterday and which I finished this morning. It was my first Rowan Coleman book - The Happy Home For Broken Hearts - but it won't be my last. My only criticsm is that it all ended on a cliffhanger but maybe that means there will be a sequel. Here's hoping!! She too has a new book out which I have on reserve from my local library called Lessons In Laughing Out Loud.
