The Girlfriend

Meh. Dropped this for a few months, came back to finish. Not really worth it.

Mild spoilers

The reviews I read for this book are surprising to me and initially I wanted to say something about it, but I changed my mind. However, I will say that I understand why some of the readers have a problem with the book and if you are sensitive to subjects like abortions, threesomes and/or illness, don't read it.

The Girlfriend was an interesting read more than anything. I didn't come across the subject before in a book, so it was definitely new to me. It was interesting to see how Sophie coped with Neil's illness and how he coped as seen by Sophie. I think Abigail Barnette did a great job describing everything.

The book is not perfect, but I wasn't expecting it to be anyway. Even so, my want to read the series wasn't deterred and I am hoping the next one will be more exciting and entertaining.

I am glad Sophie got closer to Emma; for some reason I really like Emma, she's pretty great and has a neat sense of humour. I would have liked to get to know Michael too, I'm sure he's a good fit for Emma, but I would have liked for him to be more present.

All in all it was a good read and I am ready for the next part. If I didn't get it wrong (I only kinda skimmed through the first line of the synopsis) Emir is going to make an appearance in the next book and I'm looking forward to it.

These books are really something. Good story that flows like magic and the sex is really exciting. Can't wait for the final part.
