Funny Valentine - Amy Jenkins

I discovered this book after finishing my exams earlier than my friends a few years ago and needed something light to occupy my time before everyone else finished studying. It is the usual type of book i would go for but after spending hours sifting through text books i was looking for a page turner that required little input on my behalf. This book filled all expectations. It follows the plights of very liberal journalist Stevie. She wants to right ...

Review of Funny Valentine - Amy Jenkins

I have just finished reading Funny Valentine. I have to say it is much better than her previous book Honeymoon. The book is easy to get into, its not one where you have to get half way through it to get hooked. The book is about Stevie who is trying desperately to get work as a journalist. She works for a newspaper, but they never like her articals, which are serious, and not about the latest in and outs of hollywood stars. She bumps into to Louis, ...
...She quite literally bumps into him (whilst having a daydream chat to herself, which she does a lot of). She is then asked to write a peice on Louis, which she doesn't want to do as its against everything she believes in.

But then he's going to marry a pregnant actress!!!!! ...

Review of Funny Valentine - Amy Jenkins

...both of Amy Jenkins books, Funny Valentine being my favourite. In this book you follow Stevie, a very serious woman that is against chain stores and hates the idea of valentines day... until she falls in love. She is the kind of woman that hates celebrities and being a journalist, always tries to print articles of a serious nature rather than the latest news on a celeb. She hates the fact they are always put ahead of the important issues she wants ...
...bumps into Louis, which leads to her wrestling with his security guard. To her surprise she finds out he is a celebrity that her magazine are going to interview, and ends up spending a week with him, and falling in love. Watch as Stevie befriends Louis' mad fan, I would say this is one of the mose exciting chapters of the book. I love how unexpected the events are. This is one of my top 5 books, once you start this book you will be unable to stop ...
