This week we have to review a book we’ve recently read.
Below I’ll share the review I’ve left on Amazon for the number 1 bestseller ‘I Did a Bad Thing: Now it’s Back to Haunt Me’ by Linda Green:
Sarah Roberts lives with Jonathan, predictable and boring, who worries about the planet and how the Dalai Lama might feel if she bought milk from an outlet which has invested millions in an oil pipeline in China. Sarah works as a reporter on a local newspaper, and is surprised one day when her old love Nick turns up for an interview. She and Nick were an item for a long time, and she is still carrying around much emotional baggage, including overwhelming guilt from something that happened several years before. As soon as Sarah sees Nick, all the old feelings she had for him re-surface.
To her horror Nick gets the job, and Sarah has to contend with working with her old flame at close quarters, still having to hide the ‘bad thing’ that she did. Will Sarah and Nick get back together, or will she continue being a good girl and saving the planet with Jonathan? You will have to read the book to find out!
I enjoyed the twists and turns in this very entertaining and well-written story, which has much humour interspersed with a well thought out plot. The flashbacks sometimes caught me unawares, but I am giving this story 5 well deserved stars. Recommended for fans of Women’s Fiction, Chick-lit, and relationship dramas.

Bookmarking. Chick-lit and women’s fiction, my 2 favs for relaxing time – something I’ve lost familiarity with but will be regaining this winter! 🙂

It’s finding the time to read which is the problem, in-between work, babysitting, household tasks, writing blogs and novels and updating social media sites!

I hear you. Sometimes finding writing time is just as difficult. That’s what vacations are for! 😉

I’ve never understood why you can’t be the good girl and still have fun?

Depends on who you want to have fun with I suppose?

Well, if it’s got some intrigue or mystery … maybe the next time I fly. I include occasional romantic traces in my novels, but they are definitely not the focus because I just can’t hold my attention on romance alone. I was also born with the male shopping gene.

Ha ha, I also have the male shopping gene. I hate anything to do with shopping. How anybody can go to a shopping centre just to look around for the ‘fun’ of it, I have no idea!
