‘Do you need money? I’ve got some money. What about condoms. Josh, have you got any spare?’ … ‘No, I don’t need money, it’s fine. And I certainly don’t need Josh’s contraceptives.’ He tutted. ‘It’s not like it’s been used, Em.’
Are they rated five-star? I’ll have you know I cannot possibly lower my standards after the holiday I’ve had. Farting boys and vomit-stained shoes, infidelity-inspired fights, and cheap souvenirs are nothing to sniff at.
‘All the sunscreen in the world can’t protect this pale English skin, baby. Look at it, it’s…’ ‘… alabaster?’ I tried. ‘Well, I was going to say porcelain, but alabaster sounds less like a toilet, doesn’t it?’
You’ll be well chuffed to know I delivered a baby today. Well, not technically mine. I didn’t birth it, nor did it come out of me, but I happened to be in the right place at the right time… Hats off to any woman that ever wants to put their body through that because I am completely okay with being a boy right now. If I kept a gratitude journal, it might read something like this: Today I am grateful for: my penis. W
Things weren’t great in the land of real estate… Her boss had given her the stink-eye more than once when she’d delivered the news that the Hawes property in Chelsea was a no-go, and that the buyers in Kensington had backed out quicker than a one-night stand running for the bus.
He’s a peach, Em… A peach that’s fallen to the ground and is riddled with worms.
My Review:
I smirked my way through this refreshingly crisp and delightfully written tale. The writing was loaded with plucky humor, sharp wit, and clever banter, and I adored Ms. Missen’s lively and endearing characters. The unique storylines were active, well-paced, keenly engaging, and held my interest throughout while prickling my curiosity with a bit of intrigue. How many love stories start with a punch in the face to the female lead?
Emmy and Red! Red and Emmy! How the two of you make me laugh!
As with all books I read, if I can’t picture what’s happening from the get-go, I most likely won’t enjoy it. An Impossible Thing Called Love though – that movie was playing in my head right from the start.
I love Belinda’s writing. It’s witty, it’s sarcastic, it’s lighthearted. It’s not that boring ‘he said – she said’ rubbish. I really enjoyed this book and have read it a couple more times since I first got hold of my copy. It’s a book I’d love to see a sequel to.
For Emmy and Red, they find each other early on while Emmy is travelling with friends overseas, but then things go wrong. Long distance relationships can get like that. Communication between them stopped without any warning. But they were obviously destined to be together when Emmy travels back abroad to start a new job, and a new life, only to find that her first true love works there too.
Festivals, punch-ups, dinners, letters, secrets, lies, heartbreak, break ups, divorces, travel, and true love. It’s all there – including that happily ever after…..
