drinking eight glasses of water a day? This work investigates the common myths about food. It also examines spinach, soya, omega-3 or dairy products, and reveals the effects of food on our bodies.
Advantages: A brilliant, thought-provoking read Disadvantages: Hard to put down!
This is another fantastic book by Lisa Jewell. I have read some of her other work - such as Vince and Joy, 31 Dream Street, and Thirtynothing.
This book begins with a prologue, which sees the main character, Melody, at the age of nine, outside her house which is burning down. Her parents are with her.
The book then moves to the present day and each chapter then goes from the present day, back to when Melody was a young girl. It goes back and fore between the two.
In the present day, Melody is 33 with a son, Edward, who is about to turn 18 (she had him at 15). She is a dinner lady at Edward's school, and she has just met Ben who asks her out on a date. She agrees to go and it changes her life forever. They go to see a hypnotist's show and when he calls her up on to the stage, she passes out, but later she finds herself ...
boyfriend is an abusive agent who she remains, this is despite that fact that her appearance is said to literally stop traffic. Abby is a sassy, successful and intelligent women however she is single and possibly lonely. They become friends after Abby intervenes in an argument between Noelle and her boyfriend.
All of the characters have differing insecurities. Noelle is concerned about her intelligence and dreams of being a success. Abby is successful and intelligent, but is worried about her appearance. The women’s strengths and weaknesses seem to complement each other. Brian seems to lack confidence around women
Abby manages to persuade her Noelle to pretend to be her. Brian meets up with Noelle and, unsurprisingly, he is physically attracted to her. He does not realise that she is not the woman he has spoken to before ...
Advantages: Great story, fab characters, easy read Disadvantages: Almost none!
happy ever after is a good thing, I know I felt uplifted by the end.
I absolutely loved this book, and devoured the 326 pages in less than 24 hours. I already really liked Lisa Jewell as an author, however I think this book has just propelled her to one of my favourites and has definitely overtook 'One Hit Wonder' as my favourite of her work. If you have enjoyed Lisa Jewell books in the past, then I recommend this highly, it's her best yet.

Manufacturer's product description
Is red wine good or bad for you? Can certain foods stop you needing glasses? Is it worth drinking eight glasses of water a day? Which foods are aphrodisiacs, and which are just passion killers? Why does your thin friend eat what she likes, yet never put on weight? Do detox diets really work? It's time to find out. The "Truth About Food" is the biggest-ever investigation of its kind. For the very first time, all the common myths about food have been put to the test in the science lab and in real-life trials, in order to prove once and for all which are fact and which are merely fiction. Whether exploring spinach, soya, omega-3 or dairy products, this landmark book reveals the truth, and nothing but the truth, about the effects of food on our bodies.
