Managed to read two books this month, which is good for me. Trying not to compare myself to everyone on Bookstagram because I really don't know how you guys have time to read so many books!
First up was:
It's Not Me, It's You - Mhairi McFarlane
Blurb: "Delia Moss isn’t quite sure where she went wrong.
When she proposed and discovered her boyfriend was sleeping with someone else – she thought it was her fault.
When she realised life would never be the same again – she thought it was her fault.
And when he wanted her back like nothing had changed – Delia started to wonder if perhaps she was not to blame…
From Newcastle to London and back again, with dodgy jobs, eccentric bosses and annoyingly handsome journalists thrown in, Delia must find out where her old self went – and if she can ever get her back."
I did enjoy this, but it wasn't super gripping, I definitely had to make myself sit down and read it. The second half of it was better than the first. I really liked Delia as a character and her journey from being stuck in a rut to finding her old self again was lovely to read.
Love, Locked Down - Beth Reekles
Blurb: "Five couples. One week. A love story like no other...
When an apartment block is put on lockdown, its residents are in for a whirlwind week. Wild and reckless Imogen is stuck living with a one-night-stand in Flat 14 whose name she can't remember (and who she tried to steal a t-shirt from while sneaking out), and is forced face the reality that maybe it's time she grew up.
Upstairs, Isla and Danny are still in their honeymoon period, but a warts-and-all week together so early in the relationship could make or break their romance (hello, secretly applying concealer in the bathroom at 6am). Meanwhile, Zach and Serena's steady relationship is on tenterhooks, and pineapple on pizza might actually be the last straw.
At Flat 22, Olivia's Maid of Honour duties are pushing her to the edge as a wedding-planning weekend has turned into an entire (nightmarish) week... And speaking of weddings, this whole thing has made Ethan realise he wants to spend the rest of his life with Charlotte, if only he can surprise her with the perfect proposal - and find a way to sneak her into the building...
From make-ups to break-ups, one-night stands and proposals, Love, Locked Down is the ultimate love story."
Ok, so I was VERY excited about this because I'm huge fan of the Kissing Booth movies (must admit I haven't actually read the books) and it was a fun, easy read. Some of the writing was a bit repetitive and all of the characters had very similar "voices" and banter. But it was definitely a feel good book and I read it pretty quickly because I wanted to know how each other stories would turn out.
Let me know below if you've read either and what you thought?
