I'm back again. How is everyone feeling? I can tell you one thing, I've been hit with an illness when I was reading this book. So I haven't got this review out as quickly as I've would of wanted. I hope I start to feel better soon. But time doesn't stay still for anyone, so I got on with the reading. I hope you enjoy reading this review. I hate begging/pleading with people but your feedback would be truly valid around here. Even it's on the choice of book that I review each time. Also your recommendations of books, would be welcomed with open arms. All this feedback will help me improve my blog posts, therefore my blog would be better for your viewing. Anyway back to the book I'm reviewing. This book is called, if you haven't already read the title of this blog post. Strictly Between Us. This book was written by Jane Fallon.
I like to take this opportunity to welcome any new readers to these blog posts. Thank you for choosing too read my blog posts. To all my older readers who keep returning to view all my new blog posts, thank you for your continued support it means a lot! This next part of my blog post is going to be about the blurb. The blurb can be found at the back cover of all paper back books. For people who are not familiar with the word blurb, it can also be described as a synopsis. But most people just call it a small written passage. Please let me know if you enjoy the blurb being put into my blog posts. This is part of the feedback that I was mentioning back in the beginning. I like to put the blurb into my blog posts as it gives the reader a better understanding of the background of the story and the blurb is one of the reasons why people get hooked which leads them to go out and buy the book. So without further delay here is the blurb: "Tasmin and her best friend Michelle have been inseparable since they were teenagers. Even now they spend all their time together, along with Patrick, Michelle's perfect husband. "So when Tasmin hears a rumour that Patrick is having an affair, she is incensed. Unwilling to ignore it, she plots a scheme to catch Patrick in the act, using her assistant Bea as live bait. It should be foolproof." "After all, Tasmin can trust Bea with anything. From her daily coffee order to fetching her dry- cleaning, writing reports and doing all the filing - Bea does everything with a smile on her face." "Except Tasmin has never considered Bea might have her own agenda. And if she does, then Tasmin really needs to watch her back..." Some people prefer to look at a picture of the back of the book. You can find that picture at the end of this paragraph. Readers, if you have already read this book, please don't give any spoilers to people who haven't read it yet.
This next paragraph is dedicated to the author who created this book. I love having a paragraph which is dedicated to the author of each book I review. I feel like I am giving something back to them. As they spent so many days sat at a laptop/computer writing which includes the amount of emails that they have read and the amount of times that they have edited and re- read every draft. Without our authors there won't be many books for us bookworms to read. That would make us more unhappy and less inspired by not having our favourite authors around. So this time this paragraph is all about Jane Fallon. Jane Fallon was born in Harrow in North London and later moved out to Buckinghamshire where she attended St. Bernard's Convent School in Slough before moving back up to London to read history at University College. Jane's first real job was working as a 'Girl Friday' in a small Theatrical and Literary Agency. After three years she left to pursue a career in TV, starting as a freelance script reader and then working as a script editor on various shows including EastEnders (a popular show in the UK) where she was made a producer in 1994. The following year she started work producing a new low budget show. Several other shows including 'Teachers' and '20 things to do before you're 30' followed before she suddenly got brave enough to have a go at trying to fulfil her life long ambition to write a novel in 2006. Jane had the idea for Getting Rid of Matthew, one of her first books during one insomniac night and the following day rather prematurely handed in her notice at work giving herself a year to get it published. Thankfully, Penguin picked it up and it went on to be selected for the Richard and Judy Book Club becoming a national bestseller in 2007. Many of her other books have made it onto the bestseller list. Jane's seventh novel, My sweet Revenge was released on 7th January 2017.
It is now time to give my opinion on the book. What can I say... WOW!! This book had me hooked from the moment I read the first page. I throughly enjoyed how the book was set out. It was so easy to follow each character with every chapter I read because of the way Jane Fallon had written this book. I could not put this book down apart from when I got ill in the middle of reading it. As I read each page I couldn't wait to get to the next one as I needed to know what was going to happen next in the story and to my favourite characters. If I could sum up any good chick flic film this book would become your favourite book instantly. This book was divided into different parts which also made it easier to understand the story. The only thing though with me reading it so fast was that when I got to the end of the book I was sad that it was over. People always tell me to slow down when reading a book as I would regret it in the end. But there was no regret at all this time. The one thing I would change if I was the author of this book. I would change the ending just a little bit. I don't want to spoil the ending. I'm sure you would too if you get where I would change it. Overall I loved this book and I can't wait to read her other books and the books that she is going to write in the future!!
I'm going to rate this book a 9/10. I would totally recommend this book to anyone who loves a good read and is over the age of 16.
