|author= Rosie Blake
|title=How to Get a Love Life
|rating=3
|genre= Women's Fiction
|summary= Nicola is the sort of girl who knows what's for dinner based on what day of the week it is. Meticulously tidy, she employs a cleaner as well just to make doubly sure nothing is out of place. And you can set your watch by the time she eats her daily treat of a Mini Roll. Not all of this is bad. I believe in scheduled relaxation, and felt my heart skip a beat when, on the first day of my honeymoon, we received a schedule with our activities for the week. But the point is, Nicola is at the far end of the spectrum, and she certainly does not seem the kind to have a messy, chaotic love life.

|summary= In a week from now, Lily and Will are getting married! This weekend, they'll be leaving New York and jetting down to Florida to spend the week with her family, preparing for the big day, and it's all brilliantly exciting. They're quite the golden couple, her a lawyer at a big firm, him an archaeologist at a top museum, young, attractive, they bring the world to its knees. And then sometimes Lily gets on her knees, but, ooops, it's just as likely to be in front of her boss or a random from the bar as it is her fiancé. Lily, you see, is not exactly the monotonous, monogamous type. Instead she likes to sleep around, drink, take drugs and breakdown in tears, all while keeping this a secret from the man she's supposed to love and while holding down a substantial professional job of course.

|title= Roxy
|rating= 3
|genre= General Fiction
|summary= I liked the premise for this novel: a young wife (Roxy) is told at the beginning of the book that her much older husband has been killed in a car accident. To add to the shock of this, the revelation that he died in the arms of his (naked) lover in the car, on the hard shoulder, is a further blow to Roxy. I found this an interesting set-up for a story, and wondered how this was going to go. As the blurb on the back of the novel tells us, ''she is looking for revenge'', I thought the book would be a development of the character of Roxy into a self-motivating, strong character. But this wasn't the case.
