The Plus One: Save the date for the hottest debut of 2018!
Review: ♥ ♥ ♥
The
plus one is about a lady called Polly. She doesn't take life too
seriously and is a Bridget personality type. She's not good at dating,
she quite often says the wrong thing and she over analyses every little
detail. Her last relationship, if you can call it that was with a banker
called Fred who she had two under average sexual encounters with. Polly
is basically just coasting through life. She's not looking for Mr
Right. She is just enjoying life and not worrying about her mistakes.
Polly
works for a magazine, Posh!. It's a celebrity magazine that covers
gossip about weddings, babies and scandals. Polly has landed an
interview with Jasper. He's a rich, posh, bachelor full of charm. He
doesn't have much luck with the ladies and is always in the heat of
dating gossip. Against her better judgment, she starts to like him and
accidentally dating him.
This book is set in London and works around Polly's
busy schedule. For some readers, this is going to be a great book. It
fits well with the busy working London lifestyle. Polly is a single girl
who is struggling to work out how to date and it's supposed to be
funny. If you like this type of story you will like this book. I was
expecting a wedding plus one story that turned into love. That is
definitely not this book. It does have a happy ending but it's about
stumbling through life without a plan.
It's so hard not to put
my judgemental Kate head on, but Polly is not my type of girl. Her
thoughts during sexual encounters were supposed to be funny but I found
them too much. She dates friends ex-partners which I thought was totally
against the girl code (especially without asking). She is a modern lady
and trying to find her way. She makes plenty of mistakes but gets
straight back on the horse.
For me, this was an ok read. 3 stars
out of 5. I think this book is aimed at the single ladies that can
laugh at bad dates and the pulling knickers.
*I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
