Living My Best Life by Claire Frost
3.0
The beginning of ‘living my best li(f)e’ hooked me in as it was such a nice change to read about characters who were a bit older than the usual - especially Bell, who is almost 40.
Bell and Millie are both likeable characters who I could identify with in some way, but their sudden friendship felt a little unbelievable as they seemed to become such close friends incredibly quickly. Wolf also seemed far too old for his age in the way he behaved and spoke - though that might just be me being overly critical.
The plot is quite sweet and it’s a nice light hearted read - you don’t have to worry about reading anything particularly upsetting or emotional - but I think the story just got a bit too twee at times, and some of the occurrences and situations felt a bit unbelievable/ convenient. So although I liked the two main characters, and it’s a light, entertaining read, I finished the book feeling like it could have done more.
