What’s the one thing you do at a wedding? Kiss your groom. What’s the one thing you DON’T do at a wedding? Kiss someone else’s groom.
When Edie is caught in a compromising position at her colleagues’ wedding, all the blame falls on her – turns out that personal popularity in the office is not that different from your schooldays, and if the groom is the head boy, Edie is closer to the geek with NHS glasses and purple braces. Ostracised by her colleagues, her boss suggests an extended sabbatical and has the perfect project to fill it – ghostwriting an autobiography for hot new talent, Elliot Owen. All she has to do is keep her head down, get on with the star and not snog him. Easy, right?
Wrong. Banished back to her home town of Nottingham, Edie is not only dealing with a megabrat of epic proportions but also facing the ghosts of her past as she moves back in with her widowed father and layabout sister. As she questions the woman she has become, Edie realises that turning to look at her past is not just painful – it could potentially change her future.
Review
What a great little book (OK not so little at over 500 pages, but I whizzed through it all the same). The interactions between characters had me both laughing out loud and shedding a tear. This is by far the best book I have read by this author, I couldn’t wait to find out the ending but then once there I didn’t want it to finish, sob.
The general premise of the book is about how much social media can twist things and how people can get carried away on the bandwagon of hate and lies without thinking about the feelings of the other person.
If you love a book with a strong main female character, who you can cheer for and celebrate with when things go right and commiserate with when they don’t, then I suggest buying this book now and making it your summer read. 5 out of 5 stars.
Thank you to Goodreads giveaways for the copy of this book and for allowing me to give an honest review.
