Yes, its not what I expected at all. Its quite a sad book and much deeper than I expected. Very good and worth reading.

Ooh thank you. Someone recommended it so will Give it a go
I know what you mean. I did get invested in Helen, Julia and Claire as characters though and wanted to see how things panned out for them.
You’re not really selling the Aftermath to me 
I think I just felt it was going to be more suspenseful than it’s turning out to be. It’s still readable but I think I expected more of an exciting thriller type of book.You’re not really selling the Aftermath to me
Found this line in a review on Amazon and it’s fits very well...
“It’s an ok read. Not going to blow your socks off and not going to tax the brain. Worth a look.”
Just finished Get a Life, Chloe Brown. I enjoyed it. A very easy read with not much going on but I like that from time to time. I’ll read the other 2 books in the series if I feel like I fancy an easy read.
Next it “to all the lonely people” by Mike Gayle. Downloaded it so long ago I have no idea what it’s about

Yes and I still cringe even thinking about it. Couldn't believe the fact that a grown woman was acting like a love struck teenager. I guessed the twist so that didn't help.
LOLIs it that bad
Sorry but I just couldn't see past her behaviour, even though there is a decent story. She reminded me of myself at 19 and I wanted to shake her as much as I want to go back and shake my 19 year old self 
I'm really enjoying it, the only other book I’ve read from her has been ‘if I never met you’ so I wasn’t sure if I liked her as an author.
i did really like the whispers as well so if anyone is looking for a filler read at 99p I’d recommend!

I have finished Skin. I agree with the previous poster, 3.5 out of 5. I’m glad I read it, it was eerily reminiscent of COVID-19!
I reckon if we weren’t in the midst of a global pandemic, I would have scored it lower than I did (I think I felt generous and said 4.5, but it could easily have been anywhere from 3.5 upwards on reflection). I think it just hit at a level that without this last years experience, I would have had difficulty processing and understanding.
Did anyone else find the VR party scene just totally out of place and weird?!
When can we post in the American Dirt thread?
Oh god yes!
I just finished Blood Orange and I still have so many questions. Just starting The Holiday now!
I wasn't a massive fan of If I Never Met You either. You Had Me At Hello was my favourite from her.
I just downloaded her new one going to start it tonight
it had such promise and I really enjoyed it until about 3/4 way through, and then I felt like it completely lost its way, her character especially.
I worry this will be the same so I’m reserving judgement until I’m further in but so far I’m enjoying it, it’s not as light as I expected that’s for sure! I thought it would be generic chick lit, it’s not. Oh I’m glad some of her other books are good, I hate not “knowing“ an author when I’m starting a book
but I want something chick lit, I think I’m gonna go with lucy diamonds new one next as I’ve been looking at it for a while now
I need easy reading for a bit now 
Currently 62% through cilka’s journey and I think I prefer it to the tattooist. Definitely going to have to take a break and read some easy fiction after this though
I had a feeling it would turn that way though. I think it is because I watched upload on Amazon Prime and they had these VR suits where you could feel evvvverrrrything
I don't think it added anything beneficial to the storyline- Status
