LIZZIE READS … BLOOD ORANGE
#LizzieReads A review for those into crime and thriller books – something I not overly keen on, despite trying to force myself to each time. I’m not sure if it is working… I got Girl on the Train vibes when reading this and will admit, I really struggled to like any of the characters. It is very easy to dislike them. Alison and Carl are married: it is [...]

#LizzieReads You are correct! Another Sophie Kinsella novel! I have been racing through her books, truly because they are wonderfully written and full of such charisma, humour and romance. Ultimate chick lit. This stunner of a novel follows Ava who heads to Italy for a writing retreat, where each attendee must choose a new name to truly feel like they are [...]

LIZZIE READS … WEDDING NIGHT
#LizzieReads I’ve read a few Sophie Kinsella books and this is one of my favourites, alongside Shopaholic 1! Starting off in the UK, Lottie is convinced her long-term boyfriend Richard is going to propose. She is adamant he is the one. She even has an engagement ring for him to return the favour … needless to say, in typical Sophie Kinsella style, Lottie’s [...]
