The blurb:
'Perfect for fans
of Sophie Kinsella'. Another hilarious and heart-warming romantic comedy from
bestselling author Anna Bell
When Lexi's
sport-mad boyfriend Will skips her friend's wedding to watch football - after
pretending to have food poisoning - it might just be the final whistle for
their relationship.
But fed up of
just getting mad, Lexi decides to even the score. And, when a couple of lost
tickets and an 'accidentally' broken television lead to them spending extra
time together, she's delighted to realise that revenge might be the best thing
that's happened to their relationship.
And if her
clever acts of sabotage prove to be a popular subject for her blog, what harm
can that do? It's not as if he'll ever find out . . .
My Opinion:
*Book provided by the publisher on
NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*
When I saw the title of this book, I was really
intrigued and that didn’t change when I read the blurb.
The story follows Lexi and her boyfriend Will. He is
obsessed with sports, watches every game and records them all. So when he comes
home, he gets to the sofa and watches. Lexi and Will have been together for
seven years and all her friends are either married already or engaged and she
wants the same.
When she finds out that he missed her friend Vanessa’s
wedding and went to a football match, she starts planning revenge. From erasing
recorded things, to him missing a game on a weekend out.
Will starts to be different though, which makes her
feel bad and happy at the same time, because there is finally some life in
their relationship again. Sometimes his behaviour is weird though and doesn’t
make sense, especially when they go to Barbados. That’s where everything goes
crazy with misunderstandings, surprises and unexpected changes. Of course there
is something behind this and I just loved this part of the story.
The book is full of funny moments, I loved flowing Lexi
around. Her plans were described so vividly and her feelings were included as
well.
Anna Bell’s writing is entertaining, fun, sparkly and
exciting! The Good Girlfriend’s Guide to Getting Even is a feel good read with
some fab moments and great characters. Lexi is very relatable, Will is just
typical and cute. Then there is Lexi’s sex mad best friend Cara and her
attractive work colleague, they all added a wonderful mixture to a sensational story.
I’m a big sports fan myself, so I really enjoyed these
parts of the book as well.
This story is brilliantly written and funny in so many
ways. It will definitely put a smile on your face.
