This was an okay read but nothing really spoke to me about the story if I'm being honest. There is a small dose of humour but, for me, that mostly centred around the whole social media thing rather than the people or the situations they find themselves in. Probably because whilst I acknowledge that for some people it is an important part of their lives I really don't understand why you would invite the world in to your privacy.
This is very much a book based on the now with all the references to social media accounts and how it influences us to feel like we are somehow living a life less than our contemporaries. However, I don't believe this will date it over much as there is enough meat to the base tale without that. I just wasn't very interested in the relationship between Lydia and Danny and how her career was going to pan out
Lydia's career in Events does provide some moments of humour. It also made me swear off work's Christmas parties for life!
It was a jolly enough read and I did get through it fairly quickly - probably because the writing is actually rather good and it propels you eagerly through the tale. No breathless moments where you can't wait to turn the page to find out what happens but engaging enough to keep you interested. There are the standard misunderstandings and hiccups along the way but they do all get resolved in the end, not necessarily satisfactorily or in a way that stands up to real life scrutiny but they do have a veneer of completion to them.
Not a bad book and very easy to follow, perfect for a snatched holiday read or a commute.
