31. Alphabet Weekend

By Elizabeth Noble
Rated ★★★

This book was exactly what I needed. I read it while I was reading Trinity as an escape and it served it's purpose.
It was a light, fluffy little book that didn't make a whole lot of sense, and the scenario wasn't all that plausible. In other words, perfect.

The premise is that the main character' s Natalie and Tom, both childhood friends were also best friends. When Natalie was dumped by her boyfriend, Tom decided that they would do an activity every weekend based on an alphabet - starting with A and ending with Z. Tom thought that they could be more than "just friends" and decided that this "game" would help to distract Natalie from her breakup and at the same time proved to her that he could be a potential boyfriend. At the same time, Tom's sister-in-law, Lucy was attracted to her best friend's husband and might consider having an affair. In addition to all this, Natalie's parents, Anna and Nicholas, were also having problems of their own.
