At 30, Katie Lavender thinks she is better than most when it comes to dealing with life's surprises. But when she gets a request to visit a solicitor, she's not expecting the dramatic turn her life is about to take. There, she receives a letter from her deceased mother that literally changes everything she ever knew about herself...
My thoughts:
The book starts with Katie finding out that her dad was not her real dad. Her mother's letter explains it at all, and now, does she want to find him? Well duh, the book is almost 500 pages of course she goes to find him and there is a lot of drama.

She meets a bitchy family, I mean seriously, they acted like 4 year olds. "My dad wont love me anymore!" Omg, pull it together, you are a grown woman! I get that it was done for drama but I wanted to slap those horrid siblings.
It really is a family drama and follows her "new" family and cousin's family. Things are happening, I will not say more there. But we get a short insight into everyone. They do have their issues.
Katie has her own issues. Her job, her boyfriend that is pretty meh, being alone in the world with no family and then this big secret coming out.
Conclusion:
There is drama, there is romance and there is one messy family. I enjoyed it, even if I wanted to slap the S%¤t out of a few people.

DeleteCute cover but like you, and the people who commented before said 500 pages is too long to have that kind of drama going on.
ReplyDeleteSo very very long

DeleteFamily stories are a lot of fun, even though some of the familymembers are irritating. But, that's in real life too, right? :)
ReplyDeleteLOL. true
DeleteOh they were tiresome
ReplyDeleteYou stopped me at messy family. I'm not a fan of family dramas. Reading one now. It's like reading a soap opera.
ReplyDeleteUgh soaps!
DeleteI couldn't imagine learning something like that. It does sound like a lot of drama.
ReplyDeleteOh yes
DeleteThat...is a lot of pages of drama. Whew!
