I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Summary
When the charity shop is in danger of closing down, the ambitious Ruth (the shop supervisor) will do anything to keep it open. One cake sale later and a disastrous encounter with a Health and Safety officer, Ruth lands herself in hot water with Head Office. Meanwhile, Molly (a volunteer) has a stab at internet dating and Nadia (her sister) has a huge crush on the shop manager. But does Alex feel the same? What happens when a forty seven year old married woman has another try at love?
Nadia follows Alex when he goes on a date and she narrowly avoids being arrested. She realises that she needs to leave Alex alone so, therefore, she decides to focus on her ambition to be a successful beautician. She is determined to make it work and doesn’t miss an opportunity to give her beauty products away. However, the dream receives a cruel blow from the bank and just when things couldn’t get any worse, Nadia finds out her husband has been having an affair.
Nadia starts to question things. Is she really cut out to be a beautician? And is she too old to find someone new? Sometimes it’s easier to go crawling back to the husband of twenty years, rather than try life on your own without an income. Does Nadia want to take the risk? Is love really worth it?
Hilarious and heart-warming, this chick lit book is ideal for those who love romance and all things ‘funny’ in love and relationships.
Review:
A cute short novel about the woes of dating after the age of 30 and the dynamics of how people work together in a little charity store, but more so how sweet it is at the beginning of a relationship. Well unless you accident swallow someone’s crown during a make out session at the movie theater! Shop Gossip is a witty fun story with characters you cannot help but love, as well as cheer when things go right for them.
Great your review. When i view your article and view your site have good.
