I like Mike gayle's writing. This is his latest offering.

Synopsis:

Meet Melissa and Paul: Five years after they split up he's still looking for love in all the wrong places while she wants the one thing she can't have: Paul.

Meet Chris and Vicky: They're so in tune they even brush their teeth in time with each other. So what is Chris doing risking it all for a meaningless affair?

Meet Cooper and Laura: He wants to settle down, she wants to take a grown-up gap year but can their relationship really survive a year apart?

Set across a year of leaving dos, birthday parties and anniversary celebrations The Life and Soul of the Party is a warm, funny and moving tale celebrating love, life and those special moments we've all spent in the kitchen at parties.

An enjoyable book that I found difficult at times with the change of narrator. Once I settled down it was an easy read. It was interesting to look at the social network thirty-somethings build up and the complex relationships they weave (me included).

A new home is already lined up for this book.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

Sorry for the delay.

Enjoy.

Thank you so much for this - I'm looking forward to reading it when Mount TBR allows!

I enjoyed this - I found it quite an emotional read in places as the characters lurched from happiness to sadness through their varying relationships. It took a while to work out who was who, especially with the changing narrators, but once I'd worked out how everyone was inter-related it was an enjoyable read.
