You will have to read Yesterday’s News to find out!
Yesterday’s News is a very smooth-flowing, easy read. I had a wonderful time getting to know the characters (especially Pablo) and I thought Ingemarsson did a fantastic job with character development- they were all very real, honest, and easy to relate to. My only real complaint is that parts of the story could of been built up a little more. There were a few notable times while reading when I felt like Kajsa cut things short and it was hard for me to elicit any kind of emotional response. Overall though, this book is solid chick-lit and a fun read- I am thinking that Kajsa has an international hit on her hands.
[Rating: 4/5]
