Full review
Having dipped my toe in the Isabel Woolff waters with a previous title, I thought I'd give Rescuing Rose a try ...
STORYLINE ****************************************************** Rose is a newspaper agony aunt, but her own personal life is far from plain sailing; her relationship has broken down after her husband slept with their marriage guidance counsellor, and she apparently has a deep secret in her past - something to do with her parents ....
She moves to a new house, and ends up living with a lodger called Theo ... therein follows various sub plots involving her friends, twins Bella and Bea; next door neighbour, Bev; and ex boyf called Henry and of course Theo.
Obviously, the ex also wanders back into the story and wants her back ... but no! I shan't tell you if she says yes because I don't want to spoil it for you.
HAPPY ENDING? ****************************************************** Suffice to say that eventually you discover her deep secret from the past, and her friends help her to come to terms with it ... and she makes her choice between two men who want to be with her ...
A GOOD READ? ****************************************************** Yeah, not bad ... it was fairly entertaining, and the plot kept moving at a decent pace. I thought the characters were well written, even though I didn't really really *like* any of them - but they also didn't annoy me!
Overall, if you're looking for a laid back beachy kind of book, then this could be it.
