Review: A Day at the Office

A Day at the Office A Day at the Office by Matt Dunn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Day At The Office is a must read for anyone who has worked in an office and had a crush on a co-worker, and let's face it, who hasn't at some point or another!!!!

Valentine's Day is the day that most couples look forward to, and most singleton's dread, and it's no different for a group of workers at the Seek Software Office in London. Can a stolen kiss at the Christmas party progress to more, can a crush turn into a date? Cards and mysterious presents are exchanged during the day and the outcome? Well, you'll have to read it and find out for yourself!!

It has laugh out loud moments, and if I'm brutally honest, a few moments when I guessed what was going to happen next, but the characters are adorable and so realistic. I wanted to hug Callum for being so insecure about his height, slap Nathan across the back of the head for lingering over a lost love, and I wanted to sit down over a glass of wine with Julie and have a heart-to-heart girlie chat.

A really lovely read and it comes highly recommended.

I just have one question...do they need an Admin Assistant at Seek Software, because my CV is ready and I want to go and work with these people!!!

Love Untold written by Ruth Jones published by Random House

In this book we hear the intertwined stories of four generations of women all from one family. Grace is fast approaching her 90th birthday and is very much the doyen of the group. Alys, her daughter has lived a troubled, complicated life which impacted on her daughter Erin, who now in her 40s has regained the control of adulthood that she never had as a child. Finally, teenager Beca, Erins daughter, is a breathe of fresh air who knows what she wants from life, and it differs greatly from the life her Mum wants for her! Four strong women who have faced different life hurdles but who all share the same DNA! I have read all of Ruth Jones' novels so far and this one is by far the best! It's as entertaining and enthralling as the others, but just has a certain magic ingredient that for me, makes it stand outfrom the rest! Each of the chapters tells a bit of the story seen through the eyes of one of the four women, which to begin with I found quite confusing as I had to remember thei...
