This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock by Matthew Quick Published by Headline Review on January 16, 2014 Genres: Contemporary, Fiction, Young Adult Pages: 273 Format: Paperback Source: Publisher Buy on Amazon Goodreads Leonard Peacock is turning 18. And he wants to say goodbye. Not to his former best friend, whose torments have driven him to consider committing something tragic and horrific. Nor to his mum who’s moved out and left him to fend form himself. But to his four friends.

Review: The Unpredictable Consequences of Love by Jill Mansell

The Unpredictable Consequences of Love by Jill Mansell Published by Headline Review on January 30th 2014 Genres: Chick-lit, Fiction, Romance Pages: 352 Format: E-Book Source: Netgalley Buy on Amazon Goodreads When Josh Strachan, newly returned to his home in north Cornwall from sunny California, first meets Sophie Wells, he’s immediately smitten.

There’s just one problem: Sophie has very firmly turned her back on love. It’s nothing personal, she tells Josh, but she just doesn’t do dates. And no one – even Sophie’s scatty best friend Tula – will tell him why. Josh is sure Sophie likes him, though, and he’s just got to find out what’s put her off romance. And then put things right… There are a large cast of characters in The Unpredictable Consequences of Love. Yet Mansell does an amazing job of writing each character clearly, each with a flaw/problem they must overcome. The multiple plot-lines are weaved together throughout the book. No characters story […]
