The premise is as such: Poppy is engaged after a whirlwind romance. She was proposed with a family heirloom ring and she manages to lose it. Then she gets mugged and loses her phone. As luck (or plot contrivances) would have it, she sees an abandoned phone in a rubbish bin and decides to claim it as her own. However, the phone belonged to the PA of hot guy Sam and so soon she has access to all his emails and starts wading into his personal life which he doesn’t appreciate.
My verdict? Perfect if you are looking for mindless books to while away time while relaxing your brain. If you are in the mood for heavier reading, then consider other alternatives such as John Grisham’s The Confession (innocent man gets convicted of murder and sits on death row, racial tension, religion, the works). Of course, now that I’m done with this, I’m back into my normal murder mysteries (just started Tess Gerritsen’s The Surgeon.) So onto the purpose of this post, I guess much like Must See TV Recruitment, I’m looking for new books to read soooooo any suggestions? Chick lit, thrillers, detective cases, I’m open to ideas. Bring it.

The Shadow of the Wind by Spanish writer Carlos Ruiz Zafón is a very good read! Highly recommended!
ReplyDeleteohh good to hear from you Irene. ShoeGeek and I were just saying the other day we haven't seen your comments in a while and wondered if you no longer read the blog =) Will check it out and hope you're well!
DeleteAnything by Haruki Murakami. Defined as literature surrealism. If you've never read anything by him before, I would suggest A Wild Sheep Chase, its quite funny in an absurd way.
ReplyDeleteOhh I keep meaning to read Norwegian Wood but not sure if it's sad and depressing.. perhaps I should try A Wild Sheep Chase first! Thanks
DeleteTwenties Girl by Kinsella was surprisingly good, given how implausible the plot was, with the ghost of her great aunt haunting her.
