Helloooo everyone! How are you? I hope you’re doing well.
Also it was my 17th birthday this month (woohoo)!
The end of the month means another ‘Books I Read in…’ post so here it is.
DISCLAIMER: May include SPOILERS! Read at your own risk! I am not trying to claims any of these books of my own. All rights go to the authors.
1) ‘Lucy in the Sky’ by Paige Toon.
Settling down for a 24-hour flight to Australia, Lucy finds a text message on her phone from a woman claiming to have slept with her boyfriend, James, four times in the past month. Trapped above the Pacific, she questions everything about their relationship, but when she finally calls him, James reassures her that it was only his friend playing a joke. James is gorgeous and successful and Lucy adores him, yet at her best friend Molly’s wedding in Sydney, she finds herself having doubts and is keeping an eye on Molly’s brother-in-law Nathan. Nathan is a happy-go-lucky surfer boy with no prospects, no place to live, and an almost-girlfriend in tow. Suddenly, Lucy finds herself caught between two distant continents and two very different men.

Book 1 of the #paigetoonbuddyread.
I have to admit this is not one of my favourites from Paige Toon. Though I enjoyed it like all the others, I didn’t find myself constantly reaching for it or yearning to read it. I felt that Lucy was very problematic and found it quite restless to be in her head. I also thought James was a bit of a nuissance and didn’t trust him from the start. Nathan, however, seemed an absolute sweetheart and yet I saw this book going in so many different directions with him and Lucy that I was a little disappointed with the ending.
What have you read this October? I would love to know so please leave a comment.
Have an amazing November!
