The blurb:
What’s the worst job you’ve ever
had?
Imogen has come to London to make
it as a writer. At least, that was the plan. Finding herself in a dead-end job
serving coffee to hipsters was not on her to-do list. And even if gorgeous
colleague Declan does give her more of a buzz than a triple-shot cappuccino,
Imogen can feel her dreams evaporating faster than the steam from an extra-hot
latte.
Until her anonymous tell-all blog
about London’s rudest customers goes viral – and suddenly, Imogen realises that
landing the worst job in the world might just be the best thing that’s ever
happened to her! As long as she can keep her identity to herself…
My Opinion:
*Book provided by the author in exchange
for an honest review*
A.L. Michael is a great
writer and I was really excited to read another of her books. The blurb sounds
wonderful and the cover is just gorgeous.
Imogen is finally working
and living in London. She wants to be a writer and works in a coffee shop in
the meantime. That’s where she meets lovely Declan. He works in another coffee
shop, but always comes by for supplies, well at the beginning that is…he just
wants to see her. He encourages her and makes her feel different. I loved
reading about the two of them, especially about how their relationship
developed.
There was still some mystery
behind it all, with his past and also an uncertainty about him being honest.
But that’s what a good story
needs, isn’t it?!
Imogen starts writing that
blog, where she rants about her job, the costumers and other stuff. It is a
huge success and lands her a big job. But she has to keep her identity to
herself. When it all is almost revealed, something great happens, I can’t
really tell you though ;)
Some other drama make
Declan’s and her relationship being on the edge, and I was really on the edge
myself, I just wanted them to be together and page after page I was hoping for
the right words ;)
Imogen’s blog posts were
great!!! I really enjoyed them, full of passion, energy, soul and grip! They
brightened up the chap and gave a good change to the story itself.
Both Imogen and Declan are
great characters. He’s gorgeous and just really sweet.
A.L. Michael has a great
voice, it’s bubbly, funny, young, fresh and the storyline has a beautiful flow.

My possible cast:
Imogen: Shailene
