My Opinion:
Welcome to the world of the
Miranda Dickinson books. Miranda is a great author and I finally found the time
to read another one of her books, so here we go.
Harriet Langton is a
dedicated travel agent, who has never ever left the UK. Yes, you heard right a
travel agent, who has not at least seen some of the places she recommends to
her clients. Her boyfriend Rob is always busy with work, so Harri finds the
time to help her best friend Alex to find his true love. She signs him up for a
magazine spread, where women can answer to meet the guy.
Harri, of course, is going
through these carefully to find the right woman for Alex. But it’s not as easy
as it seems, none of them last longer than one date.
Harri is such a lovely
character, with so much passion for her job and with a dream to travel to Venice
with her true love. Rob however, only takes her camping all the time and there
was a thing I didn’t like about him. I couldn’t really figure out what at
first, but I had my suspicions soon. I felt really bad for Harri, she deserves
a man who loves her with all his heart.
Then, let’s come back to
Alex. He’s super gorgeous and he has travelled the world. Now he owns his own
coffee shop and I really admired their friendship. They were there for each
other all the time… Until, she overheard him saying something to his friend
Jack, about her. She wants to take revenge and chooses a real Barbie for him.
Unfortunately, the effect is different and Alex seems to be in love…
Harri doesn’t like her at
all, but why does it bother her that much? Well, you have to read this book to
find out.
Harri also had some great
friends to help her go through everything: Stella, Viv (Alex’s mum) and her
aunt. I loved them all, especially Viv always looking out for her son.
Let me just tell you that
it was always full of drama and at one point she finally took some time off and
left the country. I loved the scenes in the end, I couldn’t bare not knowing
what was going to happen… Miranda’s writing shows a real and vivid storyline,
with some wonderful characters and cute little scenes.
