Book Review: A Moment Like Forever by Martina Reilly

Posted By Leah on October 6th, 2010

Two years ago, Andy went travelling with best friend Lexi, determined to have some fun together whilst they visited new places. What Andy didn’t expect was to come back from the trip, bruised, broken and scarred with Lexi missing after a catastrophic accident. Two years down the line, Andy is little more than a hermit, living her life without leaving her apartment, with the only time she ever goes out having to be in total darkness so nobody sees her scar.

She knows that it’s no way to live, so when her sister Kate’s flat burns down, she agrees Kate and her boyfriend Luke can move in with her and her cat, Baz. Andy soon realises that despite everything she has gone through, and is still feeling, it isn’t just her who was affected the day of the accident and realises that she’s been hiding for too long and needs to change her life and stop being scared of what other people think. It’s not easy for her, even more so since she still wonders exactly what happened to best friend Lexi, and is desperate for any kind of closure. But Andy has secrets of her own, secrets that will eventually come out.

Book Awards 2010: Readers Choice Book of the Year Award

Posted By Leah on October 6th, 2010

This year Chloe, Danielle and myself have decided to add a new category for our Book Awards, which are coming in December, where our readers (that’s you!) can vote for what they think is their favourite book of the year. First, though, we need some contenders. So please put in your top three choices for favourite book of 2010 (and that has been released in 2010) into the Google form below and at the end of November we’ll tally up the votes and the three with the most votes will be made into a poll in December before the ultimate winner is announced during the Chick Lit Reviews Awards 2010! You can find the list of 2010 releases on our Release Dates page here.

Please note that you CANNOT enter the same book three times and that book choices MUST have been released in 2010 otherwise your entries will be deleted.
