review 1: I have read all of Katie Price’s novels and thoroughly enjoyed them, however I have to say that I think this has been the worst I have read. It started very promising and I was enjoying the storyline. Charlie one of the main characters goes away with Zoe, her best friend on holiday to the Caribbean. The story became very rushed, I could not believe the quickness of Charlie’s new found love relationship. No more than 6 hours after they had landed Charlie was already on a date with a guy she met out there. Felipe and Charlie’s relationship became a rollercoaster of a holiday romance, however they were both carrying a secret. This was later blown out of proportion and they went their separate ways. Once Charlie was at home, again I was enjoying the storyline, it was nic... moree to be introduced to her work colleagues Darcy in particular and Charlie being invited to a red carpet dinner where Charlie was reintroduced to Felipe was also a high point in the book. However after this I began to drift, the story became predictable and boring. Yes I had been aware the story probably would be predictable and I was ok with that, however the further into the story I came I was becoming bored and actually frustrated and annoyed by some of the characters. Charlie in particular became annoying.I began to develop sympathy and enjoyed reading about Darcy, even though I guess it was Charlie and Felipe I was meant to care about and to be honest I couldn’t care less about what happened to Charlie in the end. I began skim reading just as I wanted to get to the end of this book. This I feel was not one of Katie Price’s best novels, I did finish it as I was sent to review it from the publishers and I am only grateful that this was not the first of hers I have read. Another disappointing feature of the book is that I found the spelling and grammar particularly bad in the story. I feel more should have been done when it was proof read. There were many plural errors which should have not made it into the book. I also feel that the story could have been shorter, it felt like she was dragging everything out to make it into a longer novel but then cramming things into the end to make it a happy ending. I feel that it is a good book for the beach, you can put it down and when you pick it up again you still know what is going on. The cover is stunning in the way it draws you in and you want it to add to your beach collection. I am hoping that Katie Price write's more about Angel and Crystal from previous novels as these books are in a different league compared to this.To read this review and more please visit:Mrsbbooks2011..blogspot.co.uk
review 2: No your eyes don't deceive you, I have rated this book five stars. People automatically write these books off because Katie Price's name is on the front cover. Now I don't know how much input she has into the storylines for her books (is she the one that comes up with the awful names that the characters have? However saying that Rebecca Farnworth has admitted to liking to give her characters unusual names so I think she may be to blame for that.) but Rebecca Farnworth writes them and just because Katie's name is on the front I feel like chick lit fans who may give her books a miss are missing out. However Katie's books sell extremely well (book signings...).I have to say that this is probably one of my favourite Katie books and certainly her best standalone. As with previous books there was a mention to previous characters here, namely Angel and Cal Bailey. I did wonder whether Aidan was a gay replacement for Jez, the fantastic gay character from previous books however he just wasn't as good as Jez and I didn't really warm to him. I did however love the rest of the characters. The book didn't just focus on Charlie, the main character, we got to see the other characters' perspectives and this made for a much more interesting read.I admit that I was hesitant to read this because the blurb just didn't grab me, however after a few chapters I was hooked and I devoured the book within 24 hours because I could not put it down. It's frustrating at times but then that's what makes the book so good, if the girl met the boy and lived happily ever after without all the drama in between it'd make for a pretty rubbish book. I loved the character of Darcy, considering she was only really an 'extra', she had so many sides to her and I enjoyed reading about her almost as much as Charlie and Felipe. I also loved Captain Jack, Luis and Zoe. I think this book may have the strongest cast of characters yet and I think it'd be a shame if they weren't revisited or maybe just mentioned in future novels.To conclude yes some people will just hate on this book because of the other but if you are a chick lit fan, don't miss this, or indeed any of Katie's other books as they are all fantastic trashy reads. less
