Book Review #1 | Chasing Daisy by Paige Toon

As some of you may know, one of my New Years Solutions was to read more books in two thousand and sixteen; my aim was to read at least one or two books every two weeks. Sounds a bit crazy, right? Yeah, that's what I thought since we are reaching the end of February and I've only read one and a half books since the new year started. Oops. I am mainly blaming my failure on my lack of time, laziness and swapping books for Pinterest - so 21st century. Yet slightly addictive. Anyhoo, since the last few weeks at work have been somewhat hectic, I thought it was about time that I switch off Pinterest and turn to a good old fashioned book (on a Kindle). 

I stumbled across this author when I was reading a few blogs during one evening; I've never read any of Paign Toon's books but I've heard a number of good reviews about them, so I thought that I would give it a shot. I really enjoy romantic, heart-felt stories where the reader can really relate to the characters in the book; there is nothing worse than reading a book with no emotion or storyline. 

Chasing Daisy revolves around a young girl called Daisy, who is twenty six years old and works as a front-of-house girl (or bun tart) for Formula One with her best friend, Holly; however her past doesn't belong to growing up in a happy family and having successful relationships. Just as the F1 season kicks off, she not only builds new friendships but falls into a relationship with a boy who's heart belongs to his childhood sweetheart. Daisy's world soon come crashng down but someone who has been there from the start is ready to save the day and repair her broken heart. 

I pretty much read this book within three days. I didn't mean to but once I really started to get into it, I couldn't stop - I even found it difficult to put it down when I went to work for eight hours. Having never read a Paige Toon book before, I didn't know what to expect but the first part of this book had such an intense build up, it was filled with sexual tension and new insightful relationships that kept me on my toes and thinking over and over again... "Who actually is Daisy and what is she hiding?" As the story starts to unfold, the excitement and tension starts to build and although you knew when they went back to the house or hotel that something was going to happen, the twists and turns along the way kept me guessing right until the very end. 

I found this book a pretty easy read; not too complicated or boring. If you're heading off on holiday, going on a long-haul flight or are having a relaxing and lazy day; I would definitely recommend this book as it is a light-hearted love story which relatable to every women, who has ever had a crush and/or a complicated relationship experience. 

Until the next time a book needs reviewing, Au Revoir!

Love,

Lauren xo
