Asking for a Friend by Andi Osho
4.0
Asking For A Friend by Andi Osho was a guffaw-inducing, Sex in the City -esque contemporary novel, set in London and follows the love woes of three long time best friends, namely, Jemima, Simi and Meagan.
Together they decided to sort out their love lives by playing a dating game, involving approaching men in bars, clubs, what have you, and asking them out, for their friend and not for themselves. But as the game starts to blur into their professional lives and leads them down a path of keeping secrets, their decade-long friendship hangs in the balance.
Will these woman finally confront the hurt of their past which threatens to hold them back, each with their own demons or will their friendship bend past breaking point?
Asking For A Friend was jampacked with quintessentially British humour, with jibes levelled at the London Underground to hipster Camden bars, this book had me in stitches and then some. I loved the troupes in this book, even though some of the characters' actions in this book made me literally facepalm, I found their lives to be compelling and I enjoyed the way in which Osho develops them.
