‘You’ve just had a holiday,’ I pointed out, trying not to yawn.
‘Wasn’t that enough of a break?’ ‘I don’t mean that kind of break.’
There’s nothing worse than the last day of holiday. Oh wait, there is. When what should have been a proposal turns into a break, Liv and Adam find themselves on opposite sides of the life they had mapped out.
Friends and family all think they’re crazy; Liv throws herself into work – animals are so much simpler than humans – and Adam tries to get himself out of the hole he’s dug.
But as the short break becomes a chasm, can they find a way back to each other? Most importantly, do they want to?
You can always rely on a belly laugh novel from Lindsey Kelk
and that was just the kind of book I needed so I was over the moon when We Were
on a Break arrived through the post.
Liv and Adam embark on the holiday of their dreams in Mexico
and Liv is sure she will come back with something sparkly on her finger! Things
don’t quite go to plan and things go from one extreme to the other and the pair
end up on a break. But if it is true love will they work things out or are they
just not destined to be together?
First of all I felt a sense of deja vu when I began reading
this book as it sounded like a retelling of the time I want to Mexico with my
partner (now husband phewwww) and expected to come home with a diamond on my
finger and instead had a memorable experience where it all went wrong (I can
thankfully look back and laugh now) so I don’t know if it was because I could
relate somewhat to the opening chapter was why I enjoyed the opening chapter so
much as I could picture Liv and knew what the thoughts and feelings were that
were running through her mind!
The book is told from both Liv and Adam’s points of view
which worked perfectly in this book as it allowed us to make our own minds up
rather than judge each of them just based on what we are being told by one
character. I thought they were both perfect for each other and I was hoping for
a happy ever after but as certain things happen along the way I wasn’t sure that
they would be able to get back on track again.
There were some great witty moments in this book my
favourite being the window incident with Liv! I found this book totally
addictive, humorous, romantic and completely unpredictable and so this book is
definitely up there with my favourites by Lindsey Kelk.
If you are looking for a witty feel good read then make sure
you pick this book up, it won’t disappoint.
Head along to one of the venues on the tour to meet Lindsey and get your book signed! x
I haven't read this yet. But I loved all the Friends gifs that were on Twitter when this was up for release. I love Kelks books so I'm sure this will be a winner too. I like that she wrote from both points of view, so we can decide for ourselves. Plus a laugh out loud book is always good for the soul.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing a great review.
Amanda.
Can't wait to read this book! Great to hear it's great! Literally every review I read was only phrasing the book. :)
