Whilst away I read 'The Wedding Girl' and 'Cocktails For Three' both of which took me a few days each. Don't get me wrong, there not like the huge, really deep meaningful novels, like the kind you study in English Literature. There just fun and quick reads for those of us that just want something simple.
The Wedding Girl
At 18 years old, Milly was ditzy, excited and naive. In her first summer in Oxford, she married her American friend Allan in order to keep him in the country with his lover Rupert. Thinking nothing of it, she wore a big glam dress, posed for photos and was spoilt for the day. Ten years on and she's getting married for real, to wealthy and serious Simon. The wedding is a huge deal, and everything is planned to the absolute finest little detail. With four days to go, her past catches up with her, and she has just four days to stop her whole world from crashing down around her. This book is perfect for people who can remember a mistake in the past thats crept up on them and jeopardized their future! Or people who love weddings and stories about love and relationships.
Cocktails For Three
Roxanne, Maggie & Candice all meet up once a month for cocktails, and have done for years. There are three story lines running alongside each other within this book, which sounds complicated but its not, they all blend together well and each character is involved in each others story line. Typically, each character has a common problem, Roxanne - Men problems, Candice - Friendship problems, her character is too nice to realise whats happening, and Maggie is struggling with the challenges of motherhood. The book demonstrates how important friendship is in each of the girls lives, without their friends they wouldn't be able to get through the problems they each face. This is a perfect book for any girl who has a few close friends and enjoys the occasional cocktail!
Sophie Kinsella's way of writing keeps you reading, and allows you to get through the books quickly. Perfect for holiday reading, reading on the bus/train, or a bit of relaxation reading before going to sleep. I highly recommend them and will definitely be reading more of her books whilst I commute to Uni in a couple of weeks.
You may have heard of Sophie Kinsella by the book (and now film) 'Confessions of a Shopaholic', there is a whole series of books stemmed from the original book such as 'Mini Shopaholic', 'Shopaholic Ties The Knot', 'Shopaholic abroad' and more - definitely good reads for girls who, well love shopping! Haha!
