#BlindDate

Not a love connection on this #BlindDate from my library…and there was so much promise, as the genre is 100% in my wheelhouse! Too many secondary/tertiary characters that cluttered my reading experience…and too many typos and odd editorial issues…one character‘s name was spelled wrong mere lines from another (correct) instance. All the same, this author has talent, has published other titles. I just won‘t be reading them. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 2.5⭐️

Thank you so much Helen - what a lovely surprise! I‘m very honoured to get your Gladstone‘s #blinddate book (mark 1) - pretty sure it‘s the one I would‘ve gone for - I‘ve kept seeing great reviews of it. I love the postcards, and how gorgeous is that bookmark?

Thank you 😊 🐿 😘 - you‘ve made my week a whole lot brighter! Hope you found 🌞🍦🧁🏖 at the beach today 💖

squirrelbrain Glad it arrived OK, and cheered you up. I would say though that the book isn‘t particularly cheerful, so be warned! 😬 No ice cream at the seaside, but only because Fat Rascals are rather filling! 4y

💕

A young woman (of almost 40) finds herself drinking with her high-school Japanese teacher. And so begins... something. A friendship? A relationship? More?

It‘s all the little details -railway teapots, changing lightbulbs, cherry blossom and mushrooms, plus the conversations and non-conversations, that make this such a charming book. Loved it!

This was my #blinddate book from this year‘s #litsyreadingretreat - thanks @jhod !

jhod Hurrah! 5y
Reggie This is my favorite book I‘ve read this year!!! 5y
rockpools @Reggie It is lovely! I‘ve just posted my favourite of the year so far 😊 5y
