Beatrix Babbage has just accidentally destroyed her best friends marriage. After this humiliating incident, she flees to Melbourne for a fresh start, but after a few months her life is more lacklustre than ever. She has hardly any friends apart from her barista & his biscuit baking side kick & her love life is dead in the water. Then she stumbles across a book in a second hand shop with the most poetic annotations & ramblings she's ever read & decides to find the person who wrote them & ends up in the middle of a love triangle.
I enjoyed this book but I don't think it was this duo's best. These two while also being the founders of the 'Books on the Rail' movement have made a name for themselves writing 'bookish' themed literature. The Book Ninja was brilliant, Fancy Seeing You Here was lots of fun & while I enjoyed this one as well sometimes it just seemed a little too predictable & overdone. It still had the duo's characteristic wit & humour & I loved the book quotations this one had but yeah, not my favourite from this duo.

I originally picked this book because I really enjoyed these two's previous book, The Book Ninja. However, a couple of years have passed since then & sadly I think I'm starting to outgrow rom coms.
Meet Evie Berry, a thirty year old wanna-be screen writer. She spends her days managing the candy bar at the local cinema & her nights making podcast episodes with her best friend Ben or drooling over hearthrob Hugo Hearst. After the strangest interview ever, she is catapulted ten years into the past, can she set things right this time?
This book started on a pretty predictable note but by the second chapter I was starting to get into it. I did enjoy this book but I could pretty much see what was coming the whole time & we really didn't need the Big M scene in the middle (if you've read the book you'll know what I'm talking about). It is however an enjoyable, lighthearted read & definitely passes the time as an audio book when you're cleaning houseplants!

Mmm...I loved the premise of this book - Leave books on trains and perhaps you’ll meet a kindred spirit. But...this very light-weight chick lit mostly made me cringe. I’m obviously not the target demographic for this book - probably aimed at late teens/twenty somethings. The two main characters are immature, self-absorbed cheaters who still get their Pride and Prejudice conclusion. I wouldn’t like a male character with this traits, so why would it be acceptable for the female ones?

Mi sono imbattuto per caso in questo romanzo per "pubblico femminile" e alla fine della lettura non mi ha lasciato molto, a parte alcune citazioni da libri famosi.
Classico romanzetto con trama stile "Kinsella" da leggere sotto l'ombrellone, scritto bene ma niente di più.
