A Glasgow Kiss

 

I have been reading some pretty intense books recently, so I decided to switch to something fun and lighthearted. Opening up the Audible books on Amazon, I came across A Glasgow Kiss by Sophie Gravia. I had heard many good things about the book. An easy choice for me,

We meet the main character, Zara Smith, a trainee nurse who works part time at an aesthetics clinic in Glasgow, alongside her friends Ashley and Raj, The book follows Zara on her quest for love and romance. With a few bumps along the way.  She does have her eye on one man and we are taking along on a rollercoaster ride of will they wont they.  I won't go into the details of the story as I don't want to spoil it for anyone.

As someone from just outside Glasgow, it didn't take much to imagine the setting. I also found it easy to understand the crazy sense of humour each of each character. I have never laughed so much at a book. I lost count of the times I had to pause the story because I couldn't see through the tears from laughing. My husband thought I was crazy.  Well, he is right to be fair.

Every character is relatable. It was as if I was reading about my own friends and the madness we went through in our younger days. I loved all the characters but my favourites were Zara and Ashley. The reminded me so much of me and my bet friend, the times we supported each other during dodgy relationships and the heartbreak that followed. The gossiping and moaning about those who annoyed us most.

Everyone can relate to the characters.  We all have that one friend who is always on some crazy adventure.I can't recommend this book enough. It is a great read, perfect for reading by the pool or snuggled up on the sofa. You will laugh and enjoy every single second. I promise.

The Wedding Girls

Bethnal Green, London, 1936. I love books that are set in the past and having read Kate Thompson's first book, Secrets of the Singer Girls, I was really excited to read her latest offering, The Wedding Girls.

Happily - Sophie Tanner

I remember when I was young and single. Everyone seemed to have met someone and began to settle down and as I was in my 20's having not long come out a serious relationship, pressure was still on my to "settle down". I was just happy being single at that point. Yes I met James and we are now married with 2 children but it was done in my own time and not where everyone expected me to.

An Eagle In The Snow

I am always on the look out for a really good, gripping book yet when I look for an in-depth book for children, one they can really learn from but enjoy too it has been quite a hard task.  I then came across the new book by the wonderful Michael Morpurgo, An Eagle In The Snow.

Cabin Fever - Book Review

I used to work in the travel industry as a ticketing and reservation agent for an around the world tour operator.  My days were filled with system after system of flight, passenger and surface travel information. I could recite, and still can to this day, pretty much every major airport and airline code that existed. I often wondered what actually goes on behind the scenes at the airlines I printed tickets or booked seats for every day for two years.  Well yesterday I got some insight when I found the perfect book for me Cabin Fever: The Sizzling Secrets of a Virgin Air Hostess.
