As you can see, I was scribbling notes and connecting dots and drawing arrows all over a destroyed piece of paper, as I tabbed the hell out of the actual book. I doctored the picture by spray painting (that is what Paint calls it) over the actual writing to prevent spoiling anything. As stated above, I did this because I had become determined to beat Bolton at her own game. I screamed it from my patio for all the world to hear. Bolton was going to suffer defeat at my hands, and I WOULD WIN. I read this for a book club, and to be fair I don't think this is really a genre I enjoy, so it would have taken a lot to win me over. But there was nothing here I enjoyed. I believe it's supposed to be a rom-com, but I didn't find any "com" and very little "rom". The main character, Ally, is dumped by her girlfriend, and has to move home and live with her dad. It's a bleak situation, to lose the love of your life, and to feel like you don't have anything left. But Ally is puerile, manipulative and often cruel, and I thought her girlfriend Emily was well shot of her. I'm not really sure what the message of this book is: that if someone breaks up with you, it's OK to steal their cat and emotionally manipulate them?

Heart-warming and adorable - Julie Cohen, bestselling author of TOGETHER and LOUIS & LOUISE It also just so happens to be absolutely hilarious. Some of the one-liners, particularly Jeremy's, made me snort in a deeply unattractive way. Malcolm is perhaps the greatest cat in literature of all time, and I don't say that lightly, as someone who has read an actually quite embarrassing amount of books just because they mention a cat in the blurb. You can tell this book was written by a cat owner, and I mean that as a the highest compliment. This book has been marketed as something of an adult version of the Georgia Nicholson series by the late and great Louise Rennison, and although I don't think it has quite the same feral, manic energy as that series does, it does share the tendency to make you laugh like a lunatic, and also a fantastic cat. Wounded and betrayed, after being dumped by her girlfriend, Ally makes off to her dad’s in Sheffield with the one thing that might soothe the pain and force her ex to speak to her again: Emily's cat, Malcolm.

Ally is far from perfect but is very relatable and indeed all the characters were great - Jeremy, Ally’s lovely dad, Charlie and Sophie... maybe not the dreaded Emily. As a bit of a runner myself, I loved the running elements too.

Why do you think islands are so often used as the locations for thrillers and crime novels? Can you guess at the limitations the author of The Split had to contend with?I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a fast paced twisty thriller, well written and exciting. I am still googling South Georgia and the photos that I find are incredible and fascinating. I highly recommend taking a tour of where the story takes place.

delivers some of Bolton’s best chills so far – and that’s really saying something.” Seattle Review of Books. I am glad this book exists because I want more books about late 20s queers trying to figure their life out, I just wish I had enjoyed it more. La novela pese a parecer que es deprimente porque trata un tema complicado, no lo es, te sabe llevar por el camino que quiere, para que a medida que vas leyendo la historia, te atrape y se te haga amena.A suspenseful, professional-grade north country procedural whose heroine, a deft mix of compassion and attitude, would be welcome to return and tie up the gaping loose end Box leaves. The unrelenting cold makes this the perfect beach read. Mental illness, such as that suffered by Felicity, features frequently in thrillers. Why do you think this is, and does it ever feel exploitative? The only redeeming part of this book is Esther. I loved her. She was a great woman and overall amazing person. This book is breathtaking, full of surprises, twisty as hell, captivating, addictive, exciting, heart throbbing! BIG OVATION coming for it! (I already created a special tribune and new admirers for the book: read it aloud at the house in front of my besties, husband, mother in law who already drank my two bottles of Chablis and not so lovely neighbors!) Every character is multifaceted but in a good way. Even the ex, who is usually considered to be an antagonist, is not presented as awful but as only human.
