A pocket of my life

I have done it! Book 10 is checked off of my list! The story is mainly set in the Ardeche area of France, in a quaint little village. Grace has fallen into a rut with work until her childhood crush, Jackson, phones with a offer she can't refuse. She travels to France and bumps into to another old friend Etienne, they start a fake  romance to make Jackson jealous. Will it work? Or will life take a different turn? This story fit in well as I am aware of the Ardeche area, I visited the area when I was younger so could picture part of the story from memory. Grace is a character that grew with me, she makes a few mistakes alone the way but its not alway come from her. Jackson is loveable and sexy and one that I was fully intrugued about from page one. Etienne was harder to understand, he has many layers which slowly unfold. I really love the story, the pace of which the story flowed and I feel it ended in a perfect way, making me smile and cry at the same time.  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Victoria x...

CONTAINS SPOILERS Book 6! I actually cannot believe that I am over half way through my target of 10 reads this year. This one is the final book in the series of Johnny be good. Johnny's girl is a novella which ties the story together, there are also a few chapters from the story that come off from this series which follows his daughter.  The story starts about a year on from the last story and gives you a insight to how Johnny and Meg are getting on as a family, they also introduce there new addition to the family.  After restarting there LA life everything comes crashing down and we meet a new arrival, a daughter he never knew about which leads on to a new book series. The novella is quite a short on but I loved being able to see where there story goes, I really have enjoyed the emotion and twists that Paige has managed to bring into her stories.  If you have read the first two books then I would highly recommend finishing with this one.  Victoria 

Book 3 of 2024 |  Wilde like me  by Louise Pentland Now I have read this before but I now have the sequel which means that I need to refresh my memory of what happens. This is a beautiful story which starts with a Mum, Robin and her daughter, Lyla and how single parenting life isn't always easy but she makes it work whilst being an aspiring make up artist. The book is written in a diary style staring from January to December and follows her through a year of her life. The story is so well written with you being able to feel the emotions of the characters and always wanting to know more. With it being diary style it feels a little like you are part of the story and is so relatable to every day life. Wilde like me really is a great pick up story and is an easy light hearted read with a few heart string moments, it one that you find hard to stop reading. I am excited to finish this one and get on to the next story. Victoria x Book 1 of 2024 Book 2 of 2024
