Talking to Addison
Talking to Addison | Jenny Colgan
6 posts | 9 read | 1 reading | 6 to read
Holly is a frustrated florist who flees the houseshare from hell to move in with a motley crew of friends: there is Josh, a sexually confused merchant banker; Kate, a high-flying legal eagle with talons to match; and the gorgeous Addison, who spends his days communicating only with his computer. One glimpse of Addison, and Holly is smitten. Now the only problem is how to get him to swivel his chair away from the computer screen and his monstrously ugly -- not to mention fiercely possessive -- internet girlfriend Claudia, to see Holly's own adoring gaze. After a series of false starts -- involving new friend and mathematician Finn -- Holly coaxes Addison away from his virtual romance and out into the open. But "out in the open" spells unexpected disaster for Addison, and, curiously, Holly must help rescue him before her own future can begin to bloom.

I… hated this book.
I was halfway through the book before something showed it was set in the 90s: a fax machine.
The MC was selfish & convinced she could “fix” her hot introverted roommate so he wouldn‘t hide in his room all day. Then she started telling people she was his girlfriend when they weren‘t dating. She wanted to rescue him from his “controlling” internet girlfriend who was at most insecure.
Fat & height -phobic.
Nothing like the blurb.

I didn't really like this book. It was incoherent rambling from the start to finish with no real plot. The characters were one-dimensional and the MC Holly was very unlikable. It also felt very dated. However, I read this in the early days of covid19 pandemic and I found it very escapistic. I may give Jenny Colgan another try because I kind of liked the writing style and she has potential to be a fun author to read.

I read this between Mar 23 & Apr 4. I gave it 3 ⭐️. It‘s not bad but just not the book for me.

I'm in a bit of a reading slump. Keep trying, though. And it's a lovely sort of day 🌞

flying_monkeys For what it‘s worth, when I‘m in a reading slump, I re-read an old favorite or two. That seems to do the trick. 🤓 5y
