I m at an almost total loss here I feel like Ali McNamara raped my brain I feel.lted This book Wow, this book It s difficult to put into words just how awful this is First of all, the stereotypes are embarrassing Perhaps not naked in front of strangers embarrassing, but maybe tripping at a job interview embarrassing The stereotypical homosexual shows up like, four pages in Oscar owns a designer clothing boutique, a tiny dog named Delilah, says things like, honey and darling to a disgusting degre [...]
This started out pretty great I was immediately drawn in and found it enjoyable and cute At some point, it just got a little bit too cute, if you know what I mean.I guess all the movie references were adorable for maybe the first half of the book but after a while, I wanted to scream It s not even the movie references that bothered me it was the way the main character had to explain them I think most people who will read this book will know the references We don t need to be told what situations [...]
What you need to know about me is I love everything British I should have been born in London instead of Long Island, New York so this book was made for me The main character loves movies like me British movies and the romance of it all I m a dreamer like her as well Basically, this was me in a nutshell and I loved it While reading this I would be skipping down tha halls of my office and apartment, singing Disney songs So if you want to be jolly like I was then read this book Also, this book gav [...]
Romantic Comedy Adventures in London Rating 4.5 stars I was drawn to this book by two things, the title and its dual movie references, and the fact that is was published by Sourcebooks who published quite a bit of Jane Austen works years ago I immediately fell in love with this fun tale that has a movie obsessed heroine who dreams of her life being like in the movies I loved all the fun movie references and nods Sleepless in Seattle, Pretty Woman, Notting Hill, and Bridget Jones s Diary are the [...]
I really enjoyed this book a lot I read chick lit because it is light, fluffy and entertaining this book was all that and It was fun and funny, yet the characters really drew you in The movie references had me laughing out loud and nodding my head Great job for its genre
Cliched, shallow, cringingly embarrassing, and trite, with cardboard characters, unbelievable coincidences, and a questionable moral message In its defense, it was meant to be cliched, with the entire premise being that the protagonist was trying to live out various moments from romantic comedies I found that a clever enough gimmick One flaw in this plan, though, was that the author relied on too few films Pretty Woman, Sleepless in Seattle, Pride Prejudice not exactly a romantic comedy, but at [...]
Books don t make me angry often, but this did I am furious I paid seven quid for it and it took up space in my suitcase that could have been filled with another book.This is why Rom Coms have a bad name Bad, dull, cliched writing a protagonist so unbearable it s like being stuck in the corner of the xmas party with the office bore, except in your own house, and you re paying for it The author has stumbled across the GENIUS strategy of interjecting terrible, insanely pointless monologues with tha [...]
I m giving this book 5 stars not because it s some kind of groundbreaking masterpiece, but because it s absolutely adorable and perfect read for romantic comedies sucker I have to admit I got it as a freebie on and wasn t hoping for much, but I was nicely surprised It s good to read book like that from time to time and be completely charmed by the story It s well written, page turner about girl, who reminded me of myself a bit I love romantic comedies, movies in general I sometimes wish there wa [...]
In un primo momento, confesso di essermi ricordata perch Colazione da Darcy non mi avesse persuasa fino in fondo Non facile che il chick lit mi convinca Spesso le storie sono banali, scontate, oppure sono piene di facilonerie alla protagonista va tutto liscio come l olio e, anche se pu capitare che abbia difficolt a sbarcare il lunario, riesce sempre a cadere in piedi.Non vi dico, poi, quanto mal sopporti la descrizione da capo a piedi dell abbigliamento dei personaggi con tanto di marche e, poc [...]
In the beginning this book was really cute and funny, even though Scarlett s obsession with movies and re creating movie moments in real life could be a tad annoying However, as the story progressed I liked the book less and less, until I got to the point where it really made me angry I liked the whole idea of the book, and the writing was not all bad Basically, there were good parts, and there were bad parts, but the further the story got the worse the plot and the writing became Scarlett was l [...]
From Notting Hill with LoveActually is a VERY sweet book It wraps you up like a warm hug, with brilliant characters and a lovely plot especially the last few scenes I adored it Of course, it was very obvious, very cliched and didn t hold any surprises but that was the point, to me, in a way It was certainly part of the charm I am not going to say much than this anyone who loved movies like Pretty Woman, Notting Hill, Love Actually and Sleepless in Seattle will just love this, and will enjoy the [...]

3,5 5 lovely read If you love London and movies, you will enjoy this light read.
I have been wanting to read this for ages I heard so many great things about Ali s writing and especially that s ries, so I was really excuted to read it Now I finally got round to it and all I can say is taht it is just FABULOUS And the cover is gorgeous Scarlett O Brien is a big movie fan, she co owns a business with her father, they sell, install etc popcorn machines, so it s all connected to the movies She lives the think about mivie scenes and alsi connects them to her real life This gets h [...]
This is one of the best books I ve ever read Like Scarlett, I like the escapism of a good romantic comedy, especially British director Richard Curtis s movies Notting Hill, Love Actually, Bridget Jones This book blends the plots of several well known romantic comedies with a dash of real life to create a whole new romantic comedy I was torn about how I wanted the story to turn out I felt like Scarlett needed to get her head out of the clouds but I also really wanted her to have her movie moments [...]
I think I m one of the last people on earth that would qualify as a romantic I hated Titanic, didn t cry during P.S I Love You, have no desire to see most of Hugh Grant s movies, and I ve never seen Pretty Woman I m still trying to understand why that movie is popular or romantic Not that hookers don t deserve love, but all I can ever think of is if Richard Gere s character was ever tested for anything he could ve caught from Julia Roberts character So, yeah, not a romantic.This book kinda got t [...]
I really enjoyed this book.
Well, I m happy to have at least one book finished in 2013 I m also glad I got it for free on my Nook There is something irresistible to me about a good boy meets girl story Chalk it up to that stingy extra X chromosome or the monthly hormone imbalance, but I ve always been a fan of a decent meet cute, and a satisfactory happy ending While this book does actually have both of those, it s the pesky in between that gets tedious From the outset, the premise is, at best highly questionable A girl wa [...]
Everyone who s seen a romantic comedy at least once in their life knows the story Boy meets girl They fall in love Something happens that separates the two of them This is followed by a swoon worthy, grand romantic gesture that sweeps the girl off her feet We ve seen them, and we love them Some of us even wish for one of those grand romantic gestures at least once in our lifetime I know I do And so does Scarlett O Brien The spitting image of Vivien Leigh, Scarlett is madly in love with the movie [...]
I won a copy of this book and was very excited to receive it in the mail I love romantic comedies and adore Hugh Grant and Colin Firth I sigh like crazy over Notting Hill and LoveActually so I thought this would really speak to me.The problem was that I just had a hard time getting into this book I see nothing wrong with having a hobby I m addicted to Pinterest and drive my roommate crazy with my ooh, that looks delicious or Wow, I can t believe they did that from cardboard but this obsession wi [...]
Grab your popcorn and soft drinkor a glass of wine and the chocolate box for the Rom Com of the year This story has all the elements of a great romantic comedy just like the films Notting Hill, Bridget Jones, Pretty Woman, Sleepless in Seattle and It is all there and you won t be disappointed I loved all the characters Scarlett the movie fantic who wants life to be like the movies sometimes we all wish it could be like the movies, eh girls Sean, the neighbour who befriends Scarlett whilst she [...]
What a wonderful British Chick Lit story This totally quirky, romantic comedy will leave a smile on your face Now the first chapter was just a bit cheesy for me but once I got past it then I couldn t put it down.I loved all the movie references I did think that Scarlett was a bit extreme in how much she loved movies but that really is what made her personality interesting I really didn t like her fianc David though I didn t get the feel that he really loved her and that he just wanted Scarlett t [...]
This book has everything I love There s a wonderful love story and it involves all my favourite films I adore romantic comedies Scarlett lives her life in films something I would like to do but it s not always appreciated by the people around her When she gets the opportunity to house sit in Notting Hill she jumps at it Her life becomes like a film when she meets Sean This book was one I couldn t put down If you love your romantic comedies and know your Mark Darcy from your William Thacker then [...]
No No, no, no A story about a girl obsessed with movies trying to reenact her favorites in real life sounds cute I love Hugh Grant movies as much as anyone But Scarlett s obsession got old very quickly How can you live day to day with your head constantly in the clouds
This book was cute and charming and the ending
Der Buchtitel klingt wie ein perfekter Hugh Grant Liebesfilm Nun ja Denn Tats chlich Liebe in Notting Hill ist ein perfekter Liebesroman, der sich um f nf perfekte Liebesfilme dreht Scarlett wurde mit ihren schwarzen Haaren und strahlend gr nen Augen nat rlich nach Filmlegende Vivien Leigh benannt, die bekannterma en die dramatische Figur der Scarlett O Hara in Vom Winde verweht spielte Wie ihre Mutter, die sie nie kennen gelernt hat, liebt Scarlett Kinofilme ber alles Sie verliert sich in Tagtr [...]
I ve had this book for some time on my bookshelf Having just finished Agent 6 by Tom Rob Smith review coming soon I was looking for a read that would be fun as I was browsing, Katie Fforde s quote on the front cover caught my eye Sparky, fun and endearing so I thought From Notting Hill with Love Actually would be just what I needed.I did have fun reading about Scarlett but the story is much than a romantic comedy with a plot line running alongside that deals with the issue of parenthood, obliga [...]
I don t really know how to wrap my head around this one I think the best word to describe this book was uneven At times I laughed and felt that this was a great book, other times it was almost boring and dragged out and particularly towards the end I just wanted to throw my kindle into the wall because the characters was so stupid Everyone except Sean just gave her crappy advice all the time And she was just to weak to make any decisions by herself not even in the end I would say that the first [...]
I love chick lit I love Korean dramas I love to read cheesy romance stories sometimes But this book was too much for me to bear Why Too much unbelievable dramas Plus, an annoying main character is one of the reasons why I dislike this book.The premise of the story, a main character who is obsessed with movies and cinemas, is a pretty good idea, but the way it turned out was not as good as I expected Just a few pages in, there s this guy who accidentally spilled orange juice on Scarlett, the stup [...]
Non l ho recensito ma vi posto questo estratto che penso renda l idea del libro e di quanto sia carino e divertente Mi fermai mentre superavamo uno dei tanti giardini comunali che punteggiavano quella zona di Notting Hill Sbirciai tra le sbarre nere delle cancellate che lo circondavano Poi mi voltai verso Sean Insomma, decidi tu , continu lui Dammi una mano a salire , dissi Che cosa Forza, dammi una mano, voglio scavalcare No E perch no Che c , hai paura Non questione di paura Che c entra , fece [...]
