Book Review: Coming Home by Melanie Rose

Posted on Monday, January 18th, 2010 by Chloe

A young woman wakes up buried in the snow and has no idea what she is doing there. She’s rescued by a local family, and they take her in, promising to look after her until her memory returns. But after several days, she still has no idea where she is, who she is or what she is doing. The family are looking after her well - daughter Jadie is a delight and has spoken for the first time in years, housekeeper Tara is pleasant but she can sense something is awry, and house owner Vincent is distant but she can feel a spark there.

When Tara’s brother Colin visits and hypnotises her trying to find out something about her past, something is uncovered that none of them expect. Will she ever be able to uncover her identity, or will she be forever stuck with Vincent as his family pretending to be someone she’s not?

Book News: From Notting Hill with Love… Actually by Ali McNamara

Posted on Monday, January 18th, 2010 by Chloe

This book is just made for me! I am a huge rom-com and Hugh Grant fan so when I found out that a new chick lit author has written a book based on a fan of these films and actors, I was so excited! Ali McNamara’s debut novel From Notting Hill with Love… Actually isn’t due out until 25th November so we’ve got a long wait, but it’s one I am really excited for! I also adore the book’s tagline: “She Was Just a Girl, Standing in Front of a Boy… Wishing He Looked More Like Hugh Grant“! Here’s the great sounding synopsis:

“Scarlett O’Brien is in love …with the movies. Utterly hooked on Hugh Grant, crazy about Richard Curtis, dying with lust for Johnny Depp, Scarlett spends her days with her head in the clouds and her nights with her hand in a huge tub of popcorn. Which is not exactly what her sensible, DIY-obsessed fiance David has in mind for their future. So when Scarlett has the chance to house-sit an impossibly grand mansion in Notting Hill, the setting of one of her all-time favourite movies, she jumps at the chance to live out her film fantasies one last time. It’s just a shame that her new neighbour Sean is so irritating, and so irritatingly handsome, too. As a chaotic comedy of her very own erupts around Scarlett, she begins to realise there’s more to life than seating plans and putting up shelves. What sort of happy ending does she really want? Will it be a case of Runaway Bride or Happily Ever After? The big white wedding looms, and Scarlett is running out of time to decide …”
