Advantages: Good Charicters, Nice interweaving storyline Disadvantages: A bit slow to grab you
...So out it came, Seven Sunny Days by Chris Manby. Reading a little about Chris Manby, she has written six other books; Flatmates, Second Prize, Deep Heat, Lizzie Jordan's Secret Life, Running away from Richard and Getting Personal. All sound a bit 'Chick Litty' to me and the praise on the inside cover was all from women’s magazines so that was that, I definitely was not going to enjoy it.
The Plot
In a nutshell, Seven Sunny Days is about a Hen week ... ...with each other and others they meet while they are there. They find out about themselves and each other and more that just a holiday, this period in time allows them all to move forward in their lives by dealing with their various pasts. And obviously, we learn a bit about the men in their lives too.
The Characters
It's Rachel's hen week, marrying the love of her life and determined to enjoy herself in Turkey on the final Club Aegee girly holiday ...

I had to really force myself to sit and read it (once I was fairly well into it, it was okay but up until that point it was a struggle!) Luckily for me this novel was much easier to get into. I picked this up is our local woolworths because I needed a new book to buy (I ... ...thing that attracted me to this book was the story. The book tells the story of three friends who are taking a weeks holiday to Turkey for one of the girls hen weeks. It's Rachels chance to enjoy her last week before walking down the Isle to her one and only perfect boyfriend Patrick. Accompanying her on her trip is Yaslyn, a model who always likes to be the centre of attention. Bitter towards most men so she doesn't get her heart broken like her ...

Advantages: Good holiday book Disadvantages: Hard to remember characters names
My daughter bought this book for me last August for my birthday. Much to my shame, I have taken that long to finish it! This was for no better reason than it was my ‘car’ book; the one that I read when I am waiting for the darlings to come out of their after-school activities, and, as they are now few and far between due to the age of my offspring, the time is limited.
Anyway, to the book. This is pulp fiction, or Chicklit, whichever you prefer. ... ...story, it is like watching a film. There seems to be a deluge of these kinds of books on the shelves, particularly at supermarkets, about single women on a quest to meet Mr Right (whatever that may mean). Everyone is trying their luck at a doing a Bridget Jones Diary type book.
Chris Manby is the author of this novelette and the inside front cover tells me that this is her seventh offering. ‘Hello’ Magazine cites the book as being ‘light-hearted ...
