Something Blue by Emily Giffin is a chick flick summer read packed with romance and happy endings.
Darcy is living the high life; successful and stunning until finding her best friend sleeping with her ex-fiance only days after the wedding was called off. Darcy calls around everyone she knows to escape now finding that she is pregnant and essentially homeless and settles to stay with Ethan a child hood friend in England for 'a few days' which turns into months, romances with doctors, new best friends and even the odd surprise.
I really enjoyed the fun pace of this book and as a hopeless romantic loved the ending too!
This type of book is becoming increasingly addictive as I find myself craving to escape to a much simpler and care free world.
The other series I recently read are written by Lindsey Kelk. The first is called I heart New York and is based along the same lines as Something Blue (minus the pregnancy).
Angela walks into her fiance having sex at her best friends wedding and finds the only solution to leave the UK, fly to New York and eat as much ice cream as possible -but not before peeing in the guy's suitcase.
When Angela arrives in NYC she checks in to the nearest hotel and makes friends with one of the receptionists; they move in together and she teaches Angela how to date; based on these experiences she gains a job at a leading magazine blogging about two guys; one a banker, another a freelance musician. Who will she fall for and how will they react to her blog...?
There are quite a few books in the I heart... series however I read the first (detailed above) and without meaning to skipped to the latest I heart London; if you fancy giving them a go they are really easy to follow so it really doesn't matter which you begin at because they are really accessible. Lots of laughs and smiles shed over this one... just what the doctor ordered.
I heart chick flicks at the moment... what are your recent reads?
