Evie's Little Black Book

What is worse than splitting up with someone you were not actually with but were a little bit in love with…..being invited to their wedding! This is what happens to Evie leading her on to a road of re-visiting her past relationships and kisses! It reminded me of the film The Ghosts of girlfriends past, but I quite like and found refreshing that this is told from a woman instead.

I thought it was hilarious she kept their contact information, and sometimes photos in this journal, helping her find her way and to see why the said relationships failed and ultimately if there was anything wrong with her! To refind her identity and who she is, what makes her tick.

We have all done it at some time, reflected on our past, why did we break up? Could it have worked? Yet, we are always reminded of something and you swiftly move on. Especially when you see why Evie’s confidence had been shooked to the core and basically destroyed, some of it I could relate to.

When you learn more about this and what is currently happening to someone else my heart went out to them, I can understand how petrifying it can be in such a toxic relationship like that so for Evie to come out the other side and pick up the pieces from scratch shows you the determination and strength she carries.

I enjoy the innocent bond that started with Evie and Jake, loved their trip to Ireland and how their friendship was formed. Something that just grew in the book. The fact she wants to find herself before she throws away any potential relationship again shows the strength she has, as it is so easy to just fall into a new relationship without taking a breath for your own wellbeing.

I did enjoy this book, a woman on a self-discovery and finding love within herself what is not to like, and it came at the right time for me as a nice easy light(er) read after my last book.
