The Wake-Up Call

4.5/5

I loved that! I wasn't sure about this book when I began reading that, as The Flatshare was not my cup of tea, but this book was so well written, I actually enjoyed that. I laughed, I cried, I cringed and I threw the book, it was so good.

Izzy is sunshine personified while Lucas is a grump who loves his spreadheets. At last year's Christmas party, after Izzy poured his heart to him, he chose to kiss her flatmate instead, and things got worse. They couldn't stand one another ever since.

But things were not what they seemed.

Now the hotel they work at is days from being shut down and their only hope is to find the owners of the engagement/wedding rings in lost and found.

I loved this. The bickering, the competition, the tension, you could actually feel that from the pages. And while I liked this book very much I wasn't amazed by the writing. For example, I was confused about was Lucas Days, what were they and since WHEN was he in charge on Thursdays? I went looking for it in but I couldn't find it anywhere. And it only happens once anyway on page 116 I think? nd there's no mention of it anywhere else, not earlier and not later. That was weird.

What I liked though was how Izzy lost her parents' ring in the sea, and gained another, also in the sea in the epilogue. It was poetic, I think, and it was just like her to steal Lucas's thunder haha.

I enjoyed the book, and I'm glad I read it.
