Friends and Neighbours-Christmas Reunions -Book Review

Snowfall,Family Revelations and a hint of Romance!!

Friends and Neighbours-Christmas Reunions is the second book in the Friend’s and Neighbours series by Ruth Torjussen.The book can however be read as a stand-alone novel.

The novel centres around the lives and loves of the residents in a street in Stoke.

My favourite characters were Jenny and Hannah.Jenny was the matriarch of the street and I found her character really relatable.I also like Hannah as was rooting for her to meet the man of her dreams.

My favourite part of the book was the strand in the story involving Polly and her family.

I also like that the book is set slightly in the future,and makes you think what life will be like if the climate continues to decline.

Initially I wasn’t sure whether this book would be for me as the book was based around climate change,but it deals with issue in a way that makes you think of what life is going to be like if people don’t act on things now.

I would recommend this book to anyone who like’s sagas,as this book is very family orientated,and also if you are interested in climate change and the future effects,this book will make you think.

I’d love to read more about all the characters,particularly Jenny and Hannah.I am also looking forward to reading the previous book in this series.

Fate,Love and Magazines!!

Fate,Love and Magazines!! Love by Design by Effie Kammenou Love by Design is book 2 in the Meraki Series.Although this book is in a series it can be read as a standalone novel. The book focuses on Mia Andarakis ,who has recently been promoted to work on a new magazine called Opul,and her relationship with magazine editor Nicholas Aristedis. My favourite characters were Mia and Nicholas,the characters were very well rounded and I really felt both characters as they had both gone through trauma in their lives. I loved the twist in the middle of the book which connected the lives of Mia and Nicholas,as well as the flashback chapters concerning what had made them the people they had become. I think the scenes written around Nicholas’s grief were well written,and grief can totally destroy you and I really felt for Nicholas. The book was a brilliant piece of romantic escapism,yet tackled some really difficult issues with some harrowing scenes. There wasn’t one thing I disliked about th...

Huxley vs his parents,but who knows best!!

This Much Huxley Knows by Gail Aldwin - Review Huxley vs his parents,who knows best!! This book is a standalone novel written by Gail Aldwin.The story is told through the eyes of 7 year old Huxley.When Huxley means Leonard at the hairdresser,Huxley just sees him as a lonely man,but his parents have other ideas. My favourite character was Huxley,I loved his childhood innocence and how he views the world.All the characters are very well rounded and the reactions of the adults are sadly only too believable in this day and age. My favourite part of the book is when Huxley is proved right,and I loved the way the book gets the reader to think like a child and how differently children see things in the world The only thing I struggled with in the book was when Huxley pronounces words wrong on purpose,i found it hard to relate to this part of the story,and didn’t quite understand the relevance of this,maybe this is just me and I couldn’t quite get into the brain of a 7 year old. I ...
