This Year Maybe by Liz Hinds #Review #Aliss'sAdventuresBook2

I am delighted to feature Liz Hind's romcom, This Year Maybe on the blog today. Last July, I enjoyed The Dog-Walking Club so much - you can read my review here. 

 
Alison and David have been engaged for so long that even Alison’s mother has given up asking when, but it’s second time around for both of them and they’re not in any particular hurry.

That said, Alison is beginning to wonder if living with her has put David off the idea of marriage so when he suggests they set a date she is delighted. But that date is six months’ away and a lot can happen in six months – especially if you’re Alison!

 

‘My son’s been arrested, Great-aunt Millie’s fallen in love, my best friend suspects her husband of having an affair, and I still need to lose weight. How on earth can I think about getting married?’


My Thoughts

 This is a thoroughly enjoyable read with some genuinely funny parts and a range of lively characters. Alison's characters is both likeable and relatable and her family do raise a smile. There are plenty of subplots concerning her friends and family and at one point, I was left wondering just what could happen next! Alison's life is certainly chaotic and unexpected. There are some real human touches and the relationship between Alison and her mother does take a surprising turn which shows you that sometimes, behaviour is rooted right back in the past.

    I particularly enjoyed the cameo characters who came into Alison's life. The vicar's pre-marriage course made me laugh and as for Great Aunt Millie - she is an absolute hoot! David's calm persona is a real contrast to Alison's complicated life and he seems to be just what she needs. This is the second in a series but it can be read as a standalone- I did. 

In short: The road to the altar is a bumpy one, indeed!
