Laurie is with Dan. A man that is reliable, safe and her partner for life until Dan announces he is in love with someone else who is also pregnant with his child. Sad, alone and reeling from the breakup, Laurie slowly falls for the office heartthrob Jamie as a relationship of convenience turns into something else completely different that neither Laurie or Jamie were expecting. When Laurie and Jamie started fake dating, I was so here for it. They became friends and I loved how vulnerable they were with each other and how they grew to really appreciate each other. It was so cute how Laurie had this growing crush on Jamie but didn't know what to do about it. And did I mention this book was British? It definitely has the British quirk that I love in my British books. People really are like house with vast rooms and tiny windows. And maybe it’s a good thing, the way we never stop surprising each other.” I truly believe that all body types are beautiful. It’s only when I look in the mirror that I forget.”
With a great build of humour, romance and drama, this was a brilliant little read! I thought it was fantastic!

It is such a big deal, you absolute queen.”Our protagonist, and narrator, is Laurie, a thirty-six year old lawyer. Her world collapses when her partner of eighteen years leaves her. Having spent half of her life with Dan, and not knowing why he no longer wants to be with her, Laurie is hurt and confused. Worst still, Dan works at the same firm as Laurie so she is forced to keep up a happy front at work.
A sudden feeling that I’d met this man before overwhelmed me. Though, the thought soon faded. It would be impossible to forget his face, no matter how much I wanted to forget his presence.” For a rebellious girl like Violet, everything about the patriarchy is deadly. If she wants to survive, she must abide by the rules. But Violet has never been particularly good at following the rules. Violet is forced to give up many pleasures in the forbidden realm, including forbidden love, when she is plunged into greater peril than she could have ever imagined. Only the fittest survive in a world where gender is segregated. Massimo will imprison Laura in his opulent estate for a year in an attempt to earn her heart. He will let her go if she doesn’t become infatuated with him during this period. But he will find her and murder her entire family if she makes any attempt to flee. I’m the tallest person onstage during those scenes. Which doesn’t happen all that often, to be honest.”Once again McFarlane writing combines laugh-out-loud moments with an insightful narrative that taps into deep-seated issues. Blending humour and realism McFarlane's story is as witty as it is topical. And me? I used to believe that I would be the princess in my fairy tale, much like the ones I used to read as a young girl. I suppose I was the bad guy in our love story. Thankfully her best friend and Jamie provide the narrative with much needed positivity. They are both nuanced characters, with fears and desires of their own, and their relationship to Laurie present us with many tender scenes.
What do you think I’ve got here that I wouldn’t give up in a heartbeat to be with you? There’s nothing to keep me here: I’ll go anywhere, do anything to be with you.” Si no t'hagués conegut', la nueva serie de Diagonal TV para TV3, comienza su grabación". Audiovisual451. 6 June 2018.

Sometimes the feeling of loss faded, more like a forgotten task nagging at his attention, or a misplaced item waiting to be found. But it never truly went away.” At some point, you have to give up wishing for your parents to be who you wanted them to be and accept them as they are,”
Mhairi McFarlane's terrifically fun read is endearing and engaging whilst having some surprisingly insightful thoughts on the nature of relationships and women in general. 36 year old lawyer Laurie Watkinson lives in Manchester, working at provincial law firm, Salter and Rowson. Her long term partner of 18 years, Dan Price, is a lawyer there too, so when out of the blue Dan breaks up with her citing he is not ready to settle down and have children with her, Laurie's world falls apart. Her pain knows no bounds when she learns Dan is involved with another woman, Meghan, and that she is pregnant. Feeling desolate, humiliated and casually discarded, her capacity to trust takes a huge hit as Dan proves to be a liar and nothing like the man she had believed him to be, although there is a part of her that still loves him. Matters are exacerbated in a workplace of strong competitive rivalries and gossip that an empty, tearful, grieving and fragile Laurie is not equipped to deal with.

Poor Laurie not only had her personal life come crashing down, but then had to deal with her whole office talking about it! Not to mention how badass she was as a woman working in a mostly white male industry, dealing with workplace sexism! Conor Edwards frequently attends Greek Row parties and sleeps in sorority dorms.

But Mr. Popular surprises me by letting me take him upstairs to make it look like we’re getting busy instead of laughing in my face.
