Book Synopsis:
Lucy Young is only twenty-six, but she’s exhausted. She’s tired of bad dates, being on the bottom rung at work, and living off Rice Krispies.
She’s ready to skip to the good part.
The part where she’s happily married, running the office, and never even thinking about her overdraft.
But you should be careful what you wish for . . .
My Review:
I’m a huge fan of this author so you can imagine my excitement at receiving a copy of her new book and to be invited onto the blog tour. Once again the author has written a heartwarming, hilarious and feel good book that I thoroughly enjoyed.
Firstly I absolutely loved the main character Lucy who was such a fun, relatable person who I quickly warmed to and enjoyed following throughout the book. She often had me laughing out loud as I read, particularly her moments with Felix which were utterly hilarious at times. I think we’ve all been there, wondering where life is going to take us and it was very interesting to follow Lucy as she tries to unpack what she really wants from life.
I thought this book had a great pace to it and I soon found myself drawn into the story. The author has done a great job of blending romantic fiction with fantasy to make a very believable, fun story. There was always something happening to keep my interest and even in the slower moments I found I didn’t mind as I was just happy hanging out with the characters. The message in this book is a lovely one to live your life as it is happening and not to be in a rush for the next stage.
Huge thanks to Alainna from Hodder and Stoughton for inviting me onto the blog tour and for my copy of this book.
About The Author:
Sophie Cousens started her career in television, where she produced, among other things, The Graham Norton Show, Big Brother, Ant and Dec and Russell Howard’s Good News. Working in TV taught her three things;
1 – Wearing a lanyard makes you look as though you know what you are doing.
2 -The best phrase you can contribute in meetings is “let’s action that!”If you say it often enough, hopefully someone else will do your work for you.
3 – If in doubt, find someone wearing a lanyard – they’ll know what to do.
Sophie currently lives in Jersey where she now writes full time. She lives with her husband Tim and has two small children who keep her occupied with important questions such as ‘but did Cinderella have a toothbrush?’ and ‘do giraffe’s know they have really long necks?’ She yearns for a time when she will be able to add a miniature dachshund to the party.
