Well it is that time again. Time for another book review from me. I know I'm lacking in the reviews lately. I know I keep mentioning that I'm going to produce more reviews and I keep going back on that promise. This review took so long to come out because of time and health. Health should come first even though a book is involved, as I was recovering from being ill the days were passing way too quickly. Enough about me how are you lot or should I say my readers. I hope you enjoyed my little input of the many different ways I said welcome in my last book review which was on Ann Morgan's Beside Myself. Please let me know what you thought about it. You know what to do...leave a couple of sentences in the comment box below, I may add some more in the future. The last time I spoke ( well wrote) to you readers there was a couple of weeks left of the summer holidays. It is now September and people have gone back to school. Here in the UK before people go back to school there are results from exams and I hope everyone was happy with their results and, got into the universities/colleges of their choice. Here comes the bit where I mention the same as all my other blog posts. As a person who posts blog posts not calling myself a blogger just yet. Please could you write a couple of sentences of feedback in the comment section. Therefore I can improve my posts with that feedback. Which will make it better viewing for my readers. I think you readers have had enough of me rambling on and just want the rest of this review. So here we go this review is about All that she can see and it was written by the talented Carrie Hope Fletcher.
This part of my blog post is all about welcoming any new readers to blog posts. Thank you for taking time out of your day to click on the link and reading my post. It's nice to see my posts reaching new places. Once you have taken your time to read through my blog post and I hoped you enjoyed it. You can visit the many others that's if you want to. You can find the many other posts at laurennpullennreviews.blogspot.co.uk Thank you again. Don't worry I haven't forgotten the many other readers that keep returning time and time again. I really appreciate the support from all of you. (WOW! I just said thank you a lot)
For people who are new around here the next part is all about the blurb from the actual book. There are many terms used for the term blurb but the most popular term is a synopsis. But the more easy way of remembering what the blurb actually is, it's a short paragraph that perfectly sums up the book. Most blurbs can be found on the back of most books. But when your reading a book with a hard back you can normally find the blurb on the inside of the front cover or if you want the correct term for this as well you can find it on the inside of the dust jacket. Next comes the reasons why I put the blurb into my blog posts in the first place. I have the blurb in my posts because it is more convenient for my many readers as you can make your own opinion on the book on whether or not you would like to read the book, as it's more convenient you don't have to spend ages looking online or roaming around in shops looking for the book when you can read it here right now. So without further delay here is the blurb to 'all that she can see':
"Cherry has a hidden talent. She can see things other people can't, and she decided a long time ago to use this skill to help others. As far as the rest of the town is concerned she's simply the kind-hearted young women who runs the local bakery, but in private she uses her gift to add something special to her cakes so that after just one mouthful the townspeople start to feel better about their lives. They don't know why they're drawn to, Cherry's bakery - they just know that they're safe there, and that's how Cherry likes it. She can help them in secret and no one will ever need to know the truth behind her gift.
And then Chase turns up and threatens to undo all the good Cherry has done. Because it turns out she's not, the only one who can see what she sees..."
But if you prefer to look at the blurb in picture format there will be a picture of the blurb at the bottom of this paragraph. Also please remember if you've already finished the book, don't give away any spoilers.
Next up in my blog post is a section all about the author of the book. That's if you didn't know the structure of my blog posts. Where would we be without the many authors in the world and as Carrie has written this in her acknowledgements, I'm going to write it here, a author is nothing without readers. This is just a little something to have dedicated to them as authors do so much for us. Just think about the author the next time you read a really good book. A lot of work has gone into that book your reading. Like the amount of meetings they have wth their book management teams and book publishers. The amount of phone calls they will have to take and the many hours they will have to spend sitting at a computer screen answering the endless amounts of emails. All of this is being done whilst they have their own lives to live. In the end of it exceeds all expectations the book can become top of the book charts, win many awards and then get turned into a big movie. That's definitely something to be happy and proud about. So without any further delay here is a bit more information on Carrie Hope Fletcher:
Carrie is an actress, singer, vlogger and, thanks to her popular YouTube channel ItsWayPastMyBedTime, *honorary big sister* to over a million young people around the world. Carrie's first book, All I Know Now, was a number one Sunday Times bestseller and her debut novel. On the Other Side, also went straight to number one in its first week on sale. Carrie played the role of Eponine in Les Misérables at the Queen's Theatre in London's West End for almost three years and received the 2014 WhatsOnStage Award for Best Takeover in a Role. In 2016 she played Truly Scrumptious in a six month run of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and she is currently starring as Wednesday Addams in the national UK theatre tour of The Addams Family musical. Carrie lives just outside of London with numerous fictional friends that she keeps on bookshelves just in case.
The time has come to deliver my opinion on the book. Firstly I think that Carrie is a very talented person. I have read all of her previous books, so I had big expectations for this one and it certainly did not disappoint. One question Carrie where do you get your ideas from? Right back to my opinion from the moment I started to read the book it definitely exceeded the expectations I had before I started to read it. I loved this book I just couldn't put the book down I've never read anything like this before. This book had my full attention always. The only time I put the book down was when I had to go to bed. I also love how Carrie writes her books with many backgrounds and with such diversity. Bringing more books up to the 21st century quality. I have to much love for this book so much so I loved the many characters and that everybody makes a mistake sometime. I also wonder how long it took Carrie to come up with the many desserts in the book, those parts made me feel really hungry. I had my eyes glued to each page trying to take in as much in as I could. So I could get to the next page quicker. There were little bits that I wasn't expecting especially towards the end, those were a surprise. Don't worry I'm not going to spoil it for you. I have nothing bad to say about this book. SO GO READ IT!! Carrie I loved it, please can we have a sequel to this book and I can't wait to see what ideas you come up with in the future and I can't wait to read them.
*High Five*
Overall I'm going to give this book a 10/10. I fully recommend this book to anyone that is 16 and over. You can find the rest of my blog posts at laurennpullennreviews.blogspot.co.uk where you can stay updated on the books I review. Thank you again for all of your support. It means the world to me.
Until my next book review x
