Ten Things We Shouldn't Have Done by Sarah Mylnowski

When April learns her father has a new job and plans to move April and her step mum with him, she puts her foot down to stay as she's loved up with her boyfriend, Noah and her best friend Vi is older and wants to stay with her.

However, Vi and April plot to live together as Vi's mum is not at home and is working away leaving the girls free to live however they wish. They gain a hot tub and cat as well as new friends whilst they learn some hash real life truths along the way about money, love and friendship.

It was unrealistic in many actions such as being given a cat and just spending money suddenly on a hot tub but relatable in the fact that STD's are real and can happen to anyone as well managing finances as an older teen, not younger and that cheating partners exist too. It was fun and it did keep me entertained with their crazy antics and many wild times.

My Sister's Wedding by Vicky Pattison

Becky is settled in a relationship with Daniel and has been since university but knows now their amazingly weird but wonderful engagement has occurred it's a time bomb until their families meet. Daniel is set to inherit a lot and has a rich upbringing whilst her family are of a less well of nature...

Her sister Lizzie however, is twenty three and out getting drunk most nights whilst being poor and struggling to get by as well as waking up in random bars.

When their families finally meet, a supposed incident occurs making Lizzie become seen as wilder and more dangerous under the influence of alcohol which is only the start of issues to come as newspaper stories and scheming Nicole Becky's future sister in law all play their part and have their say and judgement on the impending wedding.

Becky and Lizzie also can't believe it when their long vanished mum suddenly reappears and isn't to be taken at face value after she walked out on them she has heard how well off Daniel's family is and thinks all can be forgiven for the future, only Becky's not having it one bit but as Daniel hides a secret Lizzie overhears a little about things begin to sour, until Becky finds something on his phone that creates a whole new load of mess for them to deal with...

I loved this book, Vicky has some great ideas in her as every book by her has made me feel like I get her more as in how she speaks and others like her as she's so fun and out there bubbly. This book is a heartfelt one with high as lows as you can see from before, I did like it but nothing can beat All That Glitters in my mind!

It's also alike to Jill Mansell's, You and Me, Always if you enjoyed that pick this one up!
