    Advantages Advantages Very easy reading, if you fancy no brain strain

    Disadvantages Disadvantages irritating in parts, not the longest book in the world, unoriginal

    I'm not what you'd call a fan of chick-lit. Whilst I'm certainly not a feminist, I don't appreciate (and I doubt I'm alone) being referred to as a 'chick', and unnecessary abbreviations have always irritated me. Frankly, even the covers of most of these Bridget Jones style books tend to make me roll my eyes to heaven and go in search of a real novel. I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover and I also know that the term 'chick-lit' has a tendency to disguise any semblance of authorial talent with sentimental clap-trap, but it's almost as though the publishers are deliberately trying to ... more

    Advantages Advantages Good initial idea, good narrative

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Mia was a bit odd, didn't end satisfactorily.

    I do love my books, and it seems that a large amount of books of interest to me are being released at the moment, so my Amazon wishlist is growing by the minute. To try to get it down, I've been down the library a lot lately taking out lots of books and getting through as quickly as possible. One of these newer titles that appealed to me was His Other Lover by Lucy Dawson which has now been read, so here is the review! Mia lives with her boyfriend Pete and their dog Gloria. They've been together a while and are happily settled, with Mia knowing that Pete is "the one" for her. But Mia's world ... more

    Advantages Advantages Quick paced, can easily realte to Mia

    Disadvantages Disadvantages ending a let down

    I love a good holiday read and while browsing through the bookshop at the airport this little number caught my eye... Before I had even read the book my mind had starting thinking this is going to be good! I began thinking - What would you do if you caught your partner cheating?? The book begins with Mia, Pete and their spaniel Gloria who all seem to live in perfect harmony; Pete treats Gloria well, buys her treats, and to Mia he is her one and only. This however is shattered by one text message. What happens follwing Mia discovering this text message is described excellently, you become Mia ... more
