review 1: So, I'm a 16 year old student who's a fanatic for reading and came across this book in the summer. It was a copy I bought from waterstone's, having had the motive to find a good book to read. The blurb intrigued me beyond normality, causing me to just want to engross myself. I st...

review 1: What a fab little Christmas book! I read this just a few days into the Christmas season and it put me in the mood and Evie gave me a great idea for a Christmas pressie for my husband! I loved catching up with Evie and Ed again. But most of all, I love the setting of this book. On...

review 1: I really really enjoyed reading it. Something in the book I related to her as being an actress and a waitress full-time. If this has happened to me, I would do exactly the same thing. I non-stop read the book for 3 hours yesterday and just finished earlier this evening. I just...

review 1: What a nice surprise this book turned out to be! This is the first Lucy Diamond book I have read, as I don't often reach for 'chick lit'. It was easy to read - I barely noticed that I was turning page after page, and I really enjoyed it. I found myself empathising with the charac...

review 1: I am a huge chick-lit fan. In most chick-lit stories, you know who is going to end up with whom, and I always look for the original twists or humourous moments to enjoy the book. Summer with My Sister was lacking in these qualities. I found this book to be an extremely predict...

review 1: Really enjoyed this book, I thought it would be set in Italy but as the title suggests(!) - only one night is actually spent there and the rest of the book is set in my old stomping ground of Sheffield, Lucy Diamond paints an affection picture of this vibrant city. The focus of t...

review 1: I enjoyed this book, I liked the characters and each of their individual stories. I think the fact it switches between characters with each chapter made me read it more slowly than I otherwise might have; I wasn't pulled along by the drive to find out what happened next as I kne...

review 1: I wasn't sure I'd like this book as I've only just started introducing some chick lit books back into my reading, as after a long stressful day I need some easy fluffy reading that doesn't require much brain power. I don't mean that in a sneery look down my nose snobby kind of wa...

review 1: As the title 'The Beach Cafe' itself implies, the storyline revolves around Evie Flynn, the self-proclaimed black sheep of her family who inherits her aunt Jo's cafe after her death. It shows how she's indecisive and unsure at first and paints the journey of Evie gradually changi...

review 1: Lekker tussendoortje, echte chicklit vol met cliché's: de homo als beste vriend, de bazige bazen, de hoofdpersonen die alle problemen overwinnen, de (on)gewenste aandacht van andere mannen dan de partners van de hoofdpersonen, het happy end, het zit er allemaal in. Bijzonder in d...

review 1: I really enjoyed this book. The characters were well developed and I could pictured them. I quickly found myself liking Clare and though I initially disliked Polly I found myself wanted to yell no at her when she 'talked' of going back to London and turned Jay down. This is my...

review 1: Polly, a high flyer, lives in London and has it all until she is made redundant and has to return home. There many truths have to be faced and relationships mended on a life changing journey. To begin with Polly was really annoying and uncomfortable to read but she turns softer a...
