Molly’s Diary April 10thSo, I’ve finally done it. I’ve house-swapped my little cottage in Australia for a snazzy bachelor pad in Chelsea. I can’t wait to explore London. Most of all I’m hoping to meet my dream man, my secret fantasy: a perfect English gentleman. Though I’m starting to wonder whether Patrick, my house-swapper, might actually be HIM! Is that ridiculous?
We’ve been e-mailing – and he sounds HOT! Oh, hang on, there’s another e-mail now – can’t wait to find out what Patrick’s been up to… What do you do when you realise the one you want is half a world away – living in your home, sleeping in your bed…?
------------------------
Although this book was written in the form of emails, diary entries and some standard third person, I was actually intrigued despite this being a format that I've read in the past and felt it lacking. I got into it fairly quickly and was quite enjoying it... aaaaand then it got a little dull.
The email exchanges really showed off Molly's personality but the lack of actual interactions between the pair made it seem a little tedious for a while and made Molly's continued rambling on in her emails a little needy.
I actually stopped reading this book for a while and read another before finally picking this up again to finish it. I'm glad I persevered because as soon as Patrick and Molly actually met, things started to pick up again.
Overall, this isn't a book that I would rave about and it didn't display much depth or originality of plot but for a romance that will take your mind off things for a while with a slightly different format than usual then you could probably do worse than this book. It's also quite typical of the Riva line so if you like their storylines then I'm sure you'll like this one too.
