Yarah David

This book starts off a little rushed. It feels like before we’ve even gotten to know Lily and her friends, she is being thrust into a romantic situation with Jake. Slower plot progression would have been preferred. Also, I sometimes found it a little jumpy when all of a sudden, someone would talk about their opinions of Lily when we were only supposed to be seeing things through her eyes. It was an awkward transition to suddenly be learning about her character from someone else. Also, being Canadian, I had a hard time with some of the British lingo, but it didn’t detract from the story.

I liked Lily. She was a little naive and too quick to put her heart on her sleeve, but there was something romantic about that and I liked her for it. The progression of the story was quite unpredictable and I found myself guessing who Lily was going to end up with (and I guessed wrong!), which was a nice change for a chick-lit book.

The whole story is quite cute and I enjoyed it. It’s lighthearted, with just enough romance and humor to make it fun to read. Yarah David is an excellent addition to the chick-lit genre.… (mehr)
