His Other Lover by Lucy Dawson

FROM THE BACK COVER:

Until, tripping over Pete's phone on the way to the loo one night, she reads a text message that sends her blood cold. Everything in it - its tone, the kisses at the end, Pete's evasions about the sender 'Liz' - is wrong, and suddenly the blinkers are off. It's time to get back in the game, and with everything to play for, Mia is about to discover a capacity for deceit she never knew she had. After all, when Happy Ever After is at stake, any weapon at your disposal is fair game - isn’t it?

MY THOUGHT'S:

Wow I read this book in one sitting. Once I started I couldn't stop. When Mia finds out that her partner Peter has been sending and receiving text messages from another woman she loses the plot. Instead of confronting Peter, Mia decides to find out just who this other woman is. What Happens next is a disturbing downward spiral into obsession and revenge. Author Lucy Dawson has done an excellent job of drawing you into each character making you feel sorry for all of them at different stages of the book.

Loose Girl by Kerry Cohen

FROM THE BACK COVER:
An incredibly honest and compulsively readable tale of a young woman's addiction to sex

'There is a new boy I like. I see him every other day when our classes let out at the same time. He has long, dark hair and unbelievably beautiful eyes. Almost immediately I can feel the energy between us, the promise of something to come.'

Kerry first noticed the power she had over the opposite sex at the age of eleven. By the time she was in her teens she was obsessed by boys, and soon she needed sex just to feel alive.

Sleeping with countless partners, Kerry's misguided search for love was getting out of hand. But would she ever find what she really needed?

MY THOUGHTS:
Loose Girl is a memoir about a young girl called Kerry who spends her youth looking for love and acceptance by sleeping with heaps of boys. Kerry Cohen takes the reader on a heartbreaking and sometimes painful journey into her addictive personality. While I thought her story was worth telling I just felt at the end it was pointless. Did she really learn anything about her behaviour and how will her children feel about their mum writing about her sex life. I was also dissapointed with the ending as I felt Kerry rushed to get this book finished.
