An amazing month full of amazing books, this time the
picking was really hard, I picked three of them, but the following books were
brilliant as well: Learn To Love Again, Run Away and Wellies and Westies. But
here are the winners:
The Day We Disappeared – Lucy Robinson
The
bit on the back:
Annie has a secret. But if she's not going to tell, we won't
either. It's a heart-breaking secret she wishes she didn't have - yet Annie
isn't broken, not quite yet. Especially now there's someone out there who seems
determined to fix her.
Kate has run away. But she's not going to tell us why - that
would defeat the point of running, wouldn't it? It's proving difficult to
reinvent herself, however, with one person always on her mind.
Scratch beneath the surface and nobody is really who they seem.
Even Annie and Kate, two old friends, aren't entirely sure who they are any
more. Perhaps you can work it out, before their pasts catch up with them for
good . . .
A gripping and unpredictable
story of two young women running from their pasts. We defy you to guess the
twist . . .
My opinion:
Lucy has left me SPEECHLESS with
this book!!!! So brilliant, clever, moving, unique and so much more!!! This is
a real masterpiece with a big surprise and written in a warm, funny, down to
earth, catchy and wonderful way! GENIUS!!!

Just The Way You Are – Lynsey James
The
bit on the back:
How do you start writing a letter
to someone, six years after breaking their heart?
Ava is unlucky in love as well as
in life. The new office bitch has landed the dating column Ava wanted, and she
can't remember the last time she had a second date. It's a good thing she has
best friends Max and Gwen to pick up the pieces.
Deep down, Ava knows the reason why
one date never turns into two - she's in love with someone else. Someone she's
never even met.
It all started six years ago, with
a letter from a secret admirer, Mr Writer…but then they suddenly stopped and
Ava was heartbroken.
Now the letters have started again
and Ava knows it could mean winning back the dating column at work. This time
she's determined to unmask Mr Writer...and find out once and for all if he's Mr
Right or Mr Very Definitely Wrong!
My opinion:
An amazing book full of heart,
passion, friendship, memorable moments, spark and love! A wonderful debut novel,
by a very talented author. Lynsey’s writing is catchy, gripping and full of
sparkles and rich details. LOVED IT!!!

From Notting Hill With Love…Actually – Ali McNamara
The
bit on the back:
She was just a girl, standing in
front of a boy . . . wishing he looked more like Hugh Grant.
Scarlett loves the movies. But does
she love sensible fiancé David just as much? With a big white wedding on the
horizon, Scarlett really should have decided by now . . .
When she has the chance to
house-sit in Notting Hill - the setting of one of her favourite movies -
Scarlett jumps at the chance. But living life like a movie is trickier than it
seems, especially when her new neighbour Sean is so irritating. And so irritatingly
handsome, too.
Scarlett soon finds herself
starring in a romantic comedy of her very own: but who will end up as the
leading man?
My opinion:
FABULOUS!!! The perfect chick-lit
story, it’s very authentic, vivid and I felt like being in a movie ;) The
characters are well linded out and it’s possibly the best ending to a book
ever!!!
