Amber, a young single woman who works at a film company. She enters a relationship with Greg, they met after their best friends Jen and Matt enter a relationship three years earlier First Thoughts
It’s been absolutely forever since I last read the book. I adore Dorothy Koomson and her writing.
While Reading
I feel that Jen is a bit self centred and drags people down, so when Greg gets angry at Amber because she ditches him to spend time with Jen I can totally understand it.
Though saying that I do feel sorry for Amber, because she obviously loves Greg, through all his faults, but Jen is her best friend.
Oh how my mind has changed for Jen since I wrote that last review. I think Jen is the most selfish person within the book apart from Matt, and think they are well suited together and honestly I think Amber and Greg’s relationship would work so much better if they didn’t have Jen and Matt as constant people in their lives.
I think that Amber has better friends in her work colleges Martha and Reneé.
The plot is one of those plots where people are just getting on with their lives but a ton of curve balls get thrown in to it. On the back of the book it says that Greg is scared of commitment and Amber likes being single. But honestly reading the book I think Amber is just as much a comitmantphobe as Greg is when it comes to relationships.
Conclusion
You can definitely see that Dorothy has gone through a massive change in her writing style over the years, and how over the years I’ve also formed.
I wanted this review on the book to be amazing and longer than it is but honestly one of those books where I’d not know what to review
- What did you think of the characters?
I think the characters are a mixture of people and that’s why they worked so well for so long.
- Who was your favourite character?
I really like Eric, Amber’s brother. He seems like the only one whose stable enough, and who Amber feels completely herself around.
- What did you think the main themes of the book were?
Love, heartbreak
- What did you think of the ending?
If it were me, I don’t think I could forgive Jen for how she acted. Not just at the end but all the way through the book. I understand that Matt was a little controlling but I’d be upset by how she spoke to me
