All it takes is one email to end her relationship, get her kicked out of her apartment, and just about ruin her life. Essie Phillips never meant for her private rant about her boss to be sent to everyone in her address book, but as soon as it goes viral, her life as she knows it is over. Solution: move to a new town, find a new job, make new friends. If only it were as simple as that...
My thoughts:
Review Essie writes something for fun, but then something happens and everyone knows her mistake. Her boyfriend, his mum, and she looses everything. Her job, her boyfriend and her home. But honestly, her boyfriend was not that special and his mum a horror. Even if it takes Essie a while to realise this.
So she needs a place to live, an a new job and all POVS come together. As for Essie, she was normal and likable.
Then there is Cilla, a 83 year old with a taste for fashion, and omg she was so cool.
Connor, who left a good paying job to find his passion. A nice guy.
Then there is Lucas, a bar owner, and Essie's BFF Scarlett who sounds like a hoot.
They all have their spot in the limelight and I do not know how she does it. The book is not that long, but the story takes place over some months so people have time to become friends, find romance and find new things to like. It all works really well.
Conclusion;
A nice story about many stories. Friendships are made and romance is found

Oh her voice of this annoying person cracked me up, and I liked her Connor voice. It made me lol.
She did a great job with it all

For review
I've enjoyed every Mansell book I've read.
ReplyDeleteI think that I have too :)
DeleteI haven't read anything by this author! Don't you hate it when a character is with someone horrible and doesn't realize it? I get so angry when I know they deserve someone better and just don't see it.
