Book News & Review: You’re The One That I Don’t Want by Alexandra Potter
April 14th, 2010 by Leah
I am a huge Alexandra Potter fan and I absolutely can’t wait for her new book You’re The One That I Don’t Want which is due out on August 5th. It sounds fab, as always, and I love the cover. As well as posting about the book itself, we actually have a mini review from Lesley Hall who won an early copy during our birthday week and it’s safe to say that she loved it:
I’ve just finished my preview copy of Alexandra’s new book which I won from Chicklit Reviews. I enjoyed the book enormously and once I started it I couldn’t put it down. I loved the characters and laughed out loud in parts. I loved the Facebook status references. I just loved the book from start to finish and will not hesitate to recommend it to all my friends and work colleagues. Alexandra has written yet another fabulous book.
Now, here’s the synopsis:
What if you found your soulmate… and then discovered you couldn’t lose him? When Lucy meets Nate aged 18, it is love at first sight. As far as she’s concerned, he’s The One. Caught up in the whirlwind of first love, they kiss under the Bridge of Sighs in Venice at sunset and – according to the legend – are tied together indefinitely. But ten years later, they’ve almost forgotten about each other. That is, until fate starts to bring them together. Again. And again. And again. It doesn’t seem as wonderful as it had before, but if Nate’s not The One – then why on earth is it proving so hard to break up with him? A funny and magical romantic comedy about what happens when every girl’s dream of finding her dream man comes very true indeed…









This sounds super! Can’t wait to read this, as I loved all of alexander potter’s that I’ve read. I’ve still got “whos that girl” to read but I will get around it. My favourites so far has been “Do you come here often”? and “Be careful what you wish for”. I didn’t know about her earlier books “whats new pussycat”? and “going lala” so i’ll need to find those and give them a read.
Hey there!
To all the Alexandra Potter in the UK who are waiting for the new book: believe me it’s great!!!
I don’t know why it’s already released in other part of Europe (Germany, Switzerland…) but I’m very glad it was, ‘caue of that I already read it! It’s just an amazing book! I nearly couldn’t stop. When you read her other books and you thought they were great, than you’ll love this one!
It’s funny, entertaining and there’s the authors typical style which make people laugh while reading (I got tears out of laughing).
So if you got the possibility to read: do it! you won’t waste time, ’cause it’s just great!
Thank you Mrs Potter for another great book!
