Book Review: Letters To A Love Rat by Niamh Greene

Posted on Wednesday, January 27th, 2010 by Leah

Molly, Eve and Julie all have one thing in common: a man named Charlie. Molly has just married Charlie and is shocked and stunned when, after just coming back from their honeymoon, Charlie ups and leaves by leaving a note saying that she needs to put the recycling out, but also, that he’s leaving her.

Eve has never gotten over Charlie and believed he was the love of her life until the day she caught him in bed with someone else. Her therapist now has her writing letters to Charlie. Letters she won’t send but will hopefully help her to get over Charlie. Julie has been having an affair with Charlie and even blogs about it to the entire internet. She knows she should stop since he’s just gotten married but she just can’t resist - can she? Just what is it that makes all of these women go gaga for Charlie?

Book Synopsis: After The Party by Lisa Jewell

Posted on Wednesday, January 27th, 2010 by Chloe

A month or so after the release of the cover for Lisa Jewell’s next book After the Party, the synopsis has been released! It’s due out on 15th April 2010, and is the sequel to Lisa’s debut novel Ralph’s Party. So here’s the synopsis for those who have been waiting for this! Beware, there are spoilers for those who haven’t read Ralph’s Party…

“It’s eleven years since Jem Catterick and Ralph McLeary first got together. They thought it would be for ever, that they’d found their happy ending. As everyone agreed, they were the perfect couple. Then two became four, a flat became a house. Romantic nights out became sleepless nights in. And they soon found that life wasn’t quite so simple any more. But through it all Jem and Ralph still loved each other, of course they did. Now the unimaginable has happened. Two people who were so right together are starting to drift apart. And in the chaos of family life, Ralph feels more and more as if he’s standing on the sidelines, and Jem that she’s losing herself. Something has to change. As they try to find a way back to each other, back to what they once had, they both become momentarily distracted - but maybe it’s not too late to recapture happily ever after …A warm and involving novel that will restore your faith in life, love and the power of starting over, “After the Party” is Lisa Jewell at her unforgettable best.”

Book Cover: The Beach Hut by Veronica Henry

Posted on Wednesday, January 27th, 2010 by Leah

Veronica Henry’s next offering Starstruck is due out in September but if you can’t wait that long, Veronica will have out a short story collection called The Beach Hut on 22nd July 2010. I think it sounds fantastic and I adore the simplistic cover. Veronica Henry is not the first author to offer up a short story collection: Irish author Sheila O’Flanagan has published two fab short story offerings Destinations & Connection. Here is the synopsis for The Beach Hut:

‘FOR SALE: a rare opportunity to purchase a beach hut on the spectacular Everdene Beach, Dorset. “The Shack” has been in the family for fifty years, and was the first to be built on this renowned stretch of golden sand…’ Jane Milton doesn’t want to sell her beloved beach hut, which has been the heart of so many family holidays and holds so many happy memories. But when her husband dies, leaving her with an overwhelming string of debts, she has no choice but to sell. THE BEACH HUT follows the stories of the people who own the beach huts, families who come to Everdene each year, people who fall in - or out of - love, remembering their pasts, or trying to forget them… Veronica Henry has brilliantly drawn together the comings and goings of life at the beach huts over one long, hot, lazy summer…
