"Getting Over Mr. Right" by Chrissie Manby

What do you do when you've been dumped by Mr. Right? Do you cry over a pint of ice cream? Watch a bunch of sappy movies? Maybe you throw out everything that reminds you of him, then get back to the dating world. Most people would find ways such as these to cope. But not Ashleigh Prince.


Instead Ashleigh resorts to cyber-stalking and showing up at his work to propose marriage after being dumped by her boyfriend Michael. And when that doesn't work she turns to phone psychics and casting spells to get him back. Ashleigh refuses to listen to the advice of family and friends to move on with her life. After all, Michael was her Mr. Right…even if he did dump her over Facebook and then defriend her.


Getting Over Mr. Right is a downright hilarious story of a woman who will stop at nothing to get back her Mr. Right. Ashleigh's story of finding true love then losing it over Facebook will pull you in right away. And as her antics grow more and more out of control, you will not be able to put the book down.


What is fantastic about this book is that even though Ashleigh's behaviour is crazy, somewhere we will all be able to relate to the story. If you've ever experienced the loss of who you thought was the one you will see your wildest fantasies played out. And seeing what happens to Ashleigh, you'll be thankful they remained just fantasies.


If you like chick lit, I highly recommend this book.

"The Guestbook" by Holly Martin

Welcome to Willow Cottage - throw open the shutters, let in the sea breeze and make yourself completely at home.  Oh, and please do leave a comment in the Guestbook! Annie Butterworth is the landlady of Willow Cottage, a beautiful cottage in the English countryside with a colourful array of guests.  Every guest is encouraged to write their thoughts in the guestbook and do they ever!  Love, loss, happiness, sadness, guilt, affairs, births, and surprises, it’s all in there.  Even Annie’s life gets caught up in the book. As a young widow, Annie herself is going through some changes.  And the appearance of her brother-in-law, celebrity crime writer Oliver Black isn’t helping.  As the guests of Willow Cottage go about their seaside vacations, Annie and Oliver must figure out how to move on in their lives, and most importantly, if they will do so together. The Guestbook by Holly Martin is a lovely, sweet, and unique book.  Written in the form...

"Dreaming of Elsewhere: Observations on Home" by Esi Edugyan

Image
“But where are you from, really?” This is a question that Canadians of all walks of life are often asked.  Part of our identity as Canadians is that we all come from somewhere else, and no matter how long ago, it is a defining part of who we are.   But for many people, this question is about more than where their family came to Canada from.  For many, it brings about a question of home and belonging.  These are the ideas that Esi Edugyan explored in her 2013 Henry Kreisel Memorial Lecture, Dreaming of Elsewhere: Observations on Home .  Born in Canada to parents from Ghana, Esi Edugyan has travelled to and lived in various countries, all the while searching for her identity and coming to understand the meaning of home. As an author, Edugyan also reflects on Canadian literature and the notion of the “Canadian story.”  Her wildly successful novel, Half-Blood Blues , was set outside of Canada, and something she often heard was that it was not a t...
