Secrets, Lies & PG Tips by Leanne Rose follows self confessed hopeless romantic, Nina Parker. Narrated in first person (with a British accent and slang), the book starts off with Nina moving to San Francisco to pursue a flashy and glamorous life full of money, parties, fancy shoes, a fabulous career, and a knock-out hunk of a man that she sees frequently on TV. Although her head is constantly in the clouds, Nina is knocked back down to real life, where she works for an unappreciative boss, has no style, and definitely no man. Will things change for Nina? And will she ever get her happily ever after? Or will she be forced to live her life unhappily for the rest of her days?
Secrets, Lies & PG Tips starts off rather slow but stick with it … because it gets better. I love Nina’s story telling and the way that Leanne Rose makes the characters feel very authentic, with honest hopes and dreams and quite honestly, fantasies. By far Nina is my favorite character, but a close second would have to be Marvin- very witty and funny. All in all a great, quick read filled with romantic wishes and a great twist that the reader will not expect (I know that I didn’t). Overall, a quite enjoyable read.
[Rating: 3.5/5]
