10 Reasons Not to Fall in Love - Linda Green

10 Reasons Not To Fall In Love is Linda Green's second novel but the first I've read. It's told from the point-of-view of single mum Jo, whose son is 2 and called Alfie. She's vowed never to let another man into her life and has 10 very good reasons why not to! Until she meets Dan - who has some reasons of his own why not to fall in love... I absolutely loved 10 Reasons Not To Fall In Love. When it comes to new authors I'm always worried I might not enjoy it but with 10 Reasons I had no reason to worry. Linda Green's writing is brilliant and sucks you straight into the story. It's told in the first-person narrative and for most of the book that's narrated by ...  Read the complete review

There is only one other person who reads more than me and that would be my little sister Emma. This is a fact I love as there are endless new books coming my way. As it was her birthday not so long ago, I stupidly decided to buy her a book from the top 40 in Asda, this was a mistake as she informed me after that she has almost every book available in Asda already. To appease my conscience I decided to have the afore mentioned book for myself and replaced it with a book of her choice, this left me with a book I didn't really want but felt obliged to read anyway, and by god am I glad I did. The book I will now review is - "10 reasons ...  Read the complete review

After reading a review of this book on here, I knew I was going to have to read it myself. I got lucky last week when I was in the library, and set about reading it straight away. Jo has found herself being a single parent to Alfie after her ex partner Richard left them both on Alfie's first birthday. Fast forward a year and we meet Jo as Alfie is about to turn two years old, and Jo is approaching the end of her maternity leave to go back to work as a television journalist. Her boss is none other than her ex partner and Alfie's Dad, Richard. Jo comes across in the book as a well grounded parent who has come out the other end of a sad break up ...  Read the complete review

This book was a bit of an accidental lucky choice for me really...I was at a station for a fairly long train journey and suddenly realised I'd left the book I was currently reading on my bedside cabinet. Frustratedly, I wandered into the little shop looking for something that would be easy for me to read on the train, that I'd hopefully get stuck into enough to enjoy for the time being, but not heavy going because I really wanted to finish off my book at home, which was quite heavy going, and didn't really want to be side tracked! Anyway, I picked this up, mainly because it had an appealing cover if I'm totally honest. The title suggested something down the ...  Read the complete review

I read this book by chance- it was on offer in Tesco, and as I had recently finished a book i thought i'd give it a go. I'm so glad I did! I couldn't put it down, and have since recommended it to a number of family and friends. Green writes with a fantastic insight to how Jo feels, finding herself a single mum, with her ex being her boss, and a newcomer on the scene who manages to make her feel new again. You really feel as if you're with the characters every step of the way, thanks to the detailed description and feelings that are given. You find yourself wishing along with the characters, which isn't always easy. Jo finds herself a single Mum ...  Read the complete review
