A Keeper!

I recently came across this while cleaning out some old books, read a few pages, and decided to put it back on the shelf for a re-read soon. Come Together is chick lit of the British variety, and an excellent example of the genre. The twist in this one is that the co-authors, male and female, write the chapters alternating between the male and female characters' first-person voices, giving a multi-dimensional view of the relationship and the events. Like Bridget Jones, there is lots of insecurity and amusing goof-ups before the relationship can really happen, but this time it's not just the female being spazzy. And it's often laugh-out-loud funny. What made me decide to re-read it was finding this passage again( this is Amy, the female protagonist, calling her best friend Helen the morning after meeting Jack, the soon-to-be boyfriend): H: (sleepily) Hmmm? Me: (a pause, just so she'll know it's me) Blachhhhhhhhh! (I inject this greeting with as much postpuking throaty misery as I can muster) H: Blachh-blachh-blachh? Or just blachh? Me: Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaachh! H: I'll be right over. I love H. She understands me. What's not to love? If you are a fan of Brit chick lit and are looking for a fun read, check this one out. It's a few years old, but well worth looking for.

At last, a breath of fresh air!

Don't you just love it when someone hits what's going on so dead on? I'm twenty-eight years old and this book speaks straight to me - about my love life, my friendships, and what it's like being only a third of the way up the career and life ladder in a big city. Observations are blisteringly accurate throughout. It's like listening in on people you know having a really good gossip. Buy this book and curl up in bed for a great evening in. Then get out there again, and smile, safe in the knowledge that you're not alone.

Must Read for the Bridget Crowd

If you loved Bridget Jones, you will love this book. Amy is Bridget with attitude! I got this book and fell in love with this couple! You will love seeing both sides of a relationship. Then I found out that the Authors are now married! Also, there is a sequel out in the UK called Come Again!

COME AGAIN - EXCELLENT

JUST SIMPLY BRILLIANT - COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN ! JUST AS GOOD AS THE 1ST ONE..COME TOGETHER...LOVELY ENDING ...REALLY LOVED ITBUY IT BUY IT BUY IT !

Watch out Briget Jones

I have been reading many of these singleton books in the past year or so, but I must say this book blew me away. The relationship and the courting in this book made me wish for my own. I enjoyed this book during every page... and highly recomend it to all those who even in the depths of their own heart yearn for love.
