Summer Under The Stars by Catherine Ferguson

Thirty two year old Daisy has just lost her mum eleven days before her birthday musical treat was going to happen when we meet our main character.

Disappointment is evident in the beginning of the novel but also hope, she was adopted and so out there is her birth mum she would love to know about.

An aspiring writer too, her mum encouraged her and so she enters a competition in a magazine only her boyfriend Tom is always busy with work and hardly gives her attention even on his birthday glamping trip she takes him on for his thirtieth. He makes it evident he'd prefer something upmarket and high class.

Only it's in the same village she was originally adopted from and with old friend Clemmie's help they might make a discovery...

It's set to be a memorable holiday with the arguing couple in the tent next door, a handsome writer called Jake she meets in the woods and a posh hotel her boyfriend approves of over the tent just metres away, ran by a nice lady called Sylvia...

A fun read for under the sun or stars, I love the way Jake and Daisy met it was normal but funny as the story goes on I also enjoyed how Tom got the push as it was very deserving and Daisy was such a strong independent character for the choices she had to face in the novel. I also liked how we were kept guessing whom her birth mum was as it was never made obvious and came as a great shock, the best way a story can be!

Many thanks to publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!

Too Late by Colleen Hoover

Sloan and Asa are a couple where it seems, he always needs sex. Sloan is trapped and has to rely on him and his money to help her but he sells drugs and has too many parties for her liking but he pays for her brother's special care.

In university Spanish class Carter and Sloan meet and go on a date but Asa has a tracker on Sloane unknown to her whilst sleeps with any girl uses them and calls them a whore in his mind after his father issues we learn about.

Asa is overprotective of Sloan being his property and is particular about the company he keeps. So much so he doesn't see Carter and Sloan becoming close as she grows more scared of Asa and his behaviour.

Then there's a huge twist ahead with Luke and Ryan who are undercover cops, Asa is onto them and plays on schizophrenia like his parents doing many pills and loving his coconut cake.

There is a shooting, very tense all through the last few chapters and two epilogues to finish an amazing book!

November 9 by Colleen Hoover

Two lives collide after a twist in their stories brain them to meet by chance one November 9th at a restaurant where eighteen year old Fallon is meeting her father and Ben sticks up for her despite being a stranger he fakes being her boyfriend on the night she's leaving to go live in New York.

They leave with a promise to her future self and future Ben that they meet up every November 9 until they are twenty three. Ben will write a book of their story while Fallon will grow her confidence in herself and date despite feeling less than perfect and not attractive because of her fire scars and pursue her acting on Broadway.

As their lives evolve many twists lie ahead for the two, from deaths, births, other Colleen Hoover book characters making appearances and their relationship reaching it's decision point.

The last few chapters though! This climax suddenly brings us full circle in another twist in the plot revealing many secrets which Fallon will be the decider over what happens next for the two.
