[Joy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Notting Hill girl was a gripping read and I found it hard to put down, reading it from cover to cover in just 2 days. The story was interesting and kept me wanting to find out more about the harsh world Ms Watson was brought up in, but the terrible spelling and grammar was rather off-putting and at points even made the book confusing. It says it was "edited", but it seems more like an uncorrected draft copy. Bad grammar aside, it was a pretty good insight into a seedy gritty drug fuelled life.
