Let's just be friends by Katy Turner

Posted

I cannot believe this is Katy Turner's first book! She (and the team at Joffe Books) has made an amazing job. Thank you for letting me read an ARC of this fantastic story. 

It all starts off with Holly missing out on her "it's in the bag" veterinary job in Ascot. Instead she is strongly encouraged to take up a position in a small fishing village in Scotland for a year. With no other job to fall back on, she reluctantly heads north.

Quickly making friends with two of her work colleagues Holly settles in pretty smoothly; if only the boss was that easy to get on with.... As the year progresses we follow Holly and her friends through events like cake sales, dances, dog shows, and Friday nights at the pub. 

I really enjoyed that there were more than one leading couple in this story; this is much more a story about life in Scotland than a narrow minded enemies to lovers romance story. Holly and Greg, Chloe and Angus, Paolo and Fab/Hamish, but also the interaction between Greg and Angus, Hamish and Daisy, as well as the evolving friendship between Holly, Chloe and Paolo; and to some extent their boss Hugh. 

I thoroughly enjoyed the great pace, character developments and the glimpses into village life. There are definitely plenty of characters to create more stories about in the endearing village and hopefully this is the first of many stories.

Den som dödade helvetets änglar by Jan Guillou

Posted
"Den som dödade helvetets änglar by Jan Guillou" - freely translated as " The one who killed the angels in hell". A bit late to reading this, but what a treat!!!  His language is beautiful, the connections to true events and living people are spot on, and the criticism of governments thought-provoking and necessary in a democratic-ish society.  Written in a completely different style to his other Hamilton and Ponti books i loved this one! I’ve already got the next one downloaded and will hopefully be in for another treat.  This book is so far only available in Swedish - unfortunately similar to most of Guillou's fabulous books!
