Book Review: Never Google Heartbreak by Emma Garcia
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Summary:
When her fiancé Rob breaks off their engagement for the third time, Viv does what any girl would do – she Googles heartbreak.
Confronted by tales of misery, she decides to set-up her own self-help website for the broken-hearted. But as Viv passes through the three essential stages of grief (denial, vodka, disastrous haircut), she becomes determined that it’s not too late to try and get Rob back.
When things get out of hand after a drunken declaration of love at an extremely inappropriate moment, Viv’s scruffy, tequila-swilling best friend Max is there to pick up the pieces. Viv starts to realise that maybe the real thing has been under her nose all this time, and now – one ex and a massive error of judgement later – she has to face the question:
What’s the craziest thing you’ll do for love?
Review:
Ah, good ole chick lit. I love this genre. Poor, confused Viv. Of course she has her flaws, with her main one being obsessed with her douche of an ex. If I can say this right in British slang – what a wanker! Sometimes it was cringe-worthy watching Viv try to get her life straight, but it was a charming journey none the less. This book is an entertaining read, and if you’re a chick lit fan I think you’ll enjoy it!

Book Review: How To Get a (Love) Life by Rosie …
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Summary:
Some people book last-minute holidays, walk barefoot in the grass or party on a week night. Not Nicola Brown. Nicola is the kind of girl who double-locks the front door, leaves the plastic covering on new furniture, sticks to a super-strict diet and definitely, absolutely Does Not Date.
Her colleague Caroline – loopy, warm and exasperated by her, knows that Nicola’s reluctance to lose control means she’s living only half a life. And so she lays down the gauntlet: Nicola must cast aside her hang ups and go on as many dates as it takes to find true love in time for Valentine’s Day.
The pick of local men is, quite frankly, a bit rubbish. And there are only three months until February 14th. Surely it’s an impossible task? But, as Nicola is about to find out on her dodgy dates, letting go isn’t quite as scary as she imagined. In fact, it’s rather a lot of fun…
Review:
This is an entertaining chick lit book, light-hearted and quite funny all the way through. What I liked most about the book was that it wasn’t totally obvious who Nicola was going to end up with from the beginning. It took me a while to see the connection, but when I did I loved it! Some of the dates she goes on in hopes to find true love are quite comical, and the supporting cast – Caroline in particular – help give another dosage of humor to the book. Chick lit fans will appreciate this one!
