Love Is A Thief

"Fantastically witty and smart." 4 Stars (Closer)

The story of one girl's journey to take back what love stole.

What did you miss out on because you fell in love? I might just be that girl. You know the one. The girl who, for no particular reason, doesn t get the guy, doesn t have children, doesn t get the romantic happy ever after. So I needed to come up with a plan. What did I like doing? What didn t I get to do because I fell in love? What would I be happy spending the rest of my life doing if love never showed up again?

Kate Winters is going on a journey to do all the things that love has snatched from her and her friends, to reclaim her dreams and theirs in the hope of finding her future. But there s a chance that new dreams are better than the old…

As addictive as One Day, funnier than Bridget Jones, as beautiful and touching as When God Was a Rabbit.

Sometimes it's hard to pinpoint why I like or dislike a book. At times like these I judge with my feelings. I'm a bit unsure how I feel about this one. I liked the story, it was a great premise and really interesting and fun. I wasn't overly fond of how the story was told though.

It was sometimes quite hard to follow what was going on (and when it was taking place) so I had to constantly stop and re-read parts to try and get the timeline straight in my head before continuing. It got frustrating. It was also a bit hard to follow conversations too, as there wasn't always a noticeable break to indicate a new person talking. It was funny in places but sometimes the humour felt forced and too much.

Some of the characters I really liked a lot but a few of them felt like caricatures taken to the nth degree. I don't know how to explain how I feel about it. It just seemed like a lot to take in, it was hard to just enjoy the story for what it was
