The blurb:
‘Is there really such a thing as a
perfect proposal?
Over the next hundred days I intend
to find out. I will find one hundred ways to propose to our Chief Proposer
Suzie McKenzie and post the results here for your enjoyment. One thing’s for
sure, not one of my proposals will be on top of the Eiffel Tower with a dozen
red roses.’
Best friends Suzie and Harry are
partners in romance. That is, they run the.PerfectProposal.com, coming to the
aid of would-be grooms to create the ultimate marriage proposal.
But when Harry decides to catapult
the business into the big leagues with a PR stunt all Suzie can see is a
hundred days of heartbreak stretching ahead of her. But however exotic the
location, or breath-takingly romantic the setting, Suzie has to keep
remembering that ‘Marry Me?’ is the one question she can’t say yes to.
This business proposal should come
with one hundred broken heart warnings...
One hundred proposals, one hundred
chances to say yes.
My Opinion:
*Book provided
by the author in exchange for an honest review*
First of all
I’d like to Holly for sending me her book, I was so happy when I had it in my
inbox, so thank you lovely lady, xxx.
I don’t really
know where to start, because I have so many feelings and thoughts about this
book.
As the title
already say we will witness a lot of proposals ;).
The story
follows Suzie and her wedding proposal business. She’s not in the best lace,
because her brother died a few months ago, she is happy to have Harry by her
side. Harry the best friend she could ever wish for, but she wants him to be
more, she has been in love with him for a while, but she is convinced that he
doesn’t feel the same, since he’s sleeping around with different women all the
time.
Harry and Suzie
also work together and that’s where Harry comes up with this crazy idea of
proposing to Suzie every day, for 100 day, to find the perfect proposal for
her. In a blog he talks about these experiences and her reactions.
Suzie is not
really happy with all this, how can she survive proposal, which mean nothing to
him and break her heart every time.
A magazine
loves their idea and sends them on a world trip for ninety days and Harry
blogging about the proposals. They travel to beautiful places, which was awesome
to read about and I just loved how Harry prepared every single proposal with so
much heart and detail. One could feel his love for Suzie through every single
one of them, only Suzie doesn’t see it.
He creates a
secret blog to talk about his feelings and we get to know him much better
through that. It was great to read about his feelings as well. Holly did this
in a beautiful and so effective way. We know that Harry only stayed in England,
because of the woman he loves. Well, who is she?
Suzie’s reactions
to his behaviour always end up with jealousy and eventually they have a big
fight. I got really angry with both of them at one point, because they were
stubborn and didn’t want to tell “their best friend” who they really feel. I
just wanted them to be together and have the happiness they deserve, but that
was a hard journey to go at.
Next to Harry,
Suzie also has to get used to the fact that her sister-in-law fell in love with
another guy, even worse her cousin Badger. Harry was there for her through all
of that and I just love that he was so supportive, protective, caring and
sweet.
And a man doing
what Harry does for Suzie with the proposal is just amazing and so romantic. I
really fell in love with him. BOOK
BOYFREIND!!!!
This book is
full of love, friendship, small and big gestures, feelings and real emotions.
Holly created a MASTERPIECE here, I couldn’t put this book down. I was sobbing
in the end, I loved it so much and I just didn’t want it to end, I wasn’t ready
to leave this beautiful and wonderful story.
Is it really
about the proposal?! The way the proposal is or is also other facts important.
Suzie is about to find out. It took her a long time to realise it…
This books is
incredibly beautiful, sweet, adorable, amazing, gripping… There are not enough
words to describe this novel. Holly’s writing is perfection, she created
authentic scenes with a great storyline, real characters and so much heart. I
loved that Suzie was telling her story, but we got to read about Harry’s side
as well, in a very special way. HOLLY MARTIN you’re an absolute GENIUS!!!
