I wanted something light for the long weekend and this fitted the bill perfectly. The premise is the friendship of four women in there 30s/40s with a little romance on the side. Nice to be reading chicklit about Australian women my age. I also liked that the central character was in the process of writing a bodice ripper, and from time to time mentioned difficulties with structure echoing the novel itself. Now, back to my book club book...
Das buch hab ich in den sommer ferien an seen und im freibad gelesen , und dafür ist es einfach perfekt <3 ich habe richtig mit den vier freundinnen mitgefiebert und die geschichte ist sehr erfrischend und motivierend :)) ich kann dieses buchbjedem empfehlen der eine leichte sommerlektüre sucht ;)
A thoroughly enjoyable read that left me feeling very grateful for the friends I have, like the characters in this story. It is always great to read a good Australian novel!
not to be confused with the teen thriller movie by the same name, this was a lovely book to read. quite serious but warm.
I enjoyed this read, a little predictable but nice and uplifting.
My most favourite book ever!
I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. It's very 'light' and somewhat predictable but at the same time a nice story about a group of women who take a trip.... not just physical but also emotional.... friendship is the core of this novel.. and growth - it's definitely inspired me to get back into the swimming pool...just have to enlist a group of buddies to do it with :-)
An easy read about a group of women who take up the challenge of learning to swim properly and gain confidence, strength and friendship in their journey. A good holiday read, though fairly predictable.
