Review: Him & Me

Him & Me Him & Me by Jack Whitehall
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I listened to this book on Audible, and I absolutely loved it!! It is read by both Jack and his father Michael.

I must admit that I went into the book blind, as I didn't know anything about the story, but my teenage son listened to it, and I could hear him laughing out loud, so once he'd finished, I couldn't resist giving it a go myself, and I'm so glad that I did.

This isn't an autobiography, it just felt like a father and son sitting reminiscing about family stories...holidays, schooling, sports and girlfriends, and it was hilarious, real laugh out loud funny. They didn't edit out the mistakes either, so mispronunciations, and fluffs are left in which makes it feel more personal.

I struggle to sleep, so listen to audio books on my i-pillow, and it was brilliant, however, it did the opposite effect and actually kept me awake, because I wanted to hear more of their anecdotes!!

Now tonight, I go to bed, without the father and son combo that I've had in my bedroom for the last few nights, and I don't know what I'm going to do with myself!! Please write another one soon!!!

Maybe Next Christmas by Emma Heatherington

  Maybe Next Christmas" by Emma Heatherington was a delightful festive read that truly delivered in the end. While I found the beginning a little slow, once the story picked up, I was completely hooked and couldn’t put it down! Emma's storytelling and knack for building relatable, heartfelt characters shines through, making the journey worth it. The Christmas charm, along with themes of love and second chances, make this one feel as cozy as her other novels. Definitely recommended for fans of Christmas romances or anyone looking for a feel-good, warm festive read!

The Commuter written by Emma Curtis and published by Atlantic Books

  In The Commuter , we follow Rachel, who has just woken from a coma after a car accident, only to be told that her wealthy husband has been murdered in their family home. As Rachel begins to recover, she experiences flashbacks, including memories of a mysterious fellow commuter—a man whose name she doesn’t even know. Strangely, since her husband’s death, this man has vanished, and now the police suspect that Rachel may be involved in the murder. As the investigation deepens, Rachel finds herself racing against time to uncover the truth before she is wrongfully imprisoned for a crime she knows she didn’t commit. The Commuter is a psychological thriller that explores suburban life, blending suspense, deception, and complex relationships. While the story maintains tension throughout, I found the plot became quite complicated toward the end, and I did feel lost at times. Some parts left me feeling a bit detached, but overall, it was an engaging read. Rating: 3.5/5
