Kindle Unlimited Audiobook Paperback
⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5
All of my more recent book reviews have started in the same way - by saying that each book I read and review starts off with the full surgery of 5 stars and I'm always hopeful that they will all still be stitched firmly into place by the time I close the back cover. I'm not shy about removing stars but I always give my reason(s) for doing so within the review, they don't just vanish into thin air.
I've really enjoyed each of the other books I've read in the "Confessions of" series and I'm really hoping that this book is up there with the rest of the series too.
Let's get going shall we?
Well, no spoilers, but after the first chapter I'm relieved that I didn't start reading just before or just after eating lol
Oh deary me... there's been a very brief mention of a trademarked chocolate bar, so the first star is already wobbly so early on in the book. It's clinging on for dear life right now, but it's currently like jelly.
I'm up to page 17 already and I'm loving this book so far. As long as there are no more trademarked or copyrighted mentions, this is already shaping up to be a 5 star book!
There's been a mention of a famous children's film and I'm not sure how copyright and trademarks work on those, so the star is still clinging on, but only just now.
Up to page 41 now so I'm steaming through this book this morning and loving every word again!
Nooo!! At page 53, the first (and hopefully only) star is coming off for the use of a distance learning university, potentially without permission. I always hate it when I have to remove a star for copyright or trademark infringement in an otherwise very much 5 star book but I've gotta be fair to all the other books I've read and take the book down to four stars. The good thing is though, that it's the only star I'll remove for this reason, so the author can quite easily use trademarks and copyrights to his heart's content now! lol
Those poor nurses and cheeky Mr Lorenzo lol
Page 65 and a good place to stop to go and make my lunch I reckon.
I don't envy the doctor on the appointment that ended on page 104! lol
I'm immensely glad that I didn't live in a time where they treated an STI with mercury!!
I'm stopping reading for the day at page 135 and hoping to start again tomorrow... it's another one of those "shoulda been 5 stars books" 'cos the words are incredibly absorbing, but the dratted use of those copyrighted and trademarked things meant that the star had to come off this morning otherwise it just wouldn't have been fair on other books that I've read and reviewed.
I'm regretting opening the packet of sweets at the start of the first chapter of the day lol
Poor Danni. I can see it from both points of view, but that chapter really sounded like she'd hit rock bottom and having her kids back would encourage her to keep on climbing back out of the pit. I can also see it from the doctors point of view though and he has to look after Danni but also think about what is best for her children's future too.
Page 175 now, so just under 100 pages left to read this afternoon and I'm enjoying every word again!
At page 229 now and it seems to be the end of the book, other than the humourous "notes" bit that was so much appreciated in the first book and the page count on my Kindle says that there are 43 pages left to read. I think I'm remembering rightly that other books in this series have been adverts for other books in the "Confessions of..." series so we'll have to see if it's the same in this book too.
I was wrong, I'm sorry, there were just a couple of pages of humourous notes and now there are more tales from the doctor... I thought 40 pages of notes were maybe a bit long! lol
Now *that's* the ending I was expecting to the book lol
Another very very good book and another "shoulda been 5 stars" one too.
