Book Review: Paper Swans by Jessica Thompson


Title: Paper Swans
Author: Jessica Thompson
Publisher: Hodder
Publication Date: 31st July 2014



Blurb 

Ben Lawrence seems to have it all - the hot job, the flashy car, the luxurious apartment. But one tragic day in his past mars his future.

Since the events of that day he hasn't truly got close to anyone.

He made a promise that love was the price he would pay for his mistakes.

When Effy Jones - a bright, ambitious charity founder - walks into the PR firm where Ben works, neither realise that their lives are about to be turned upside down.

Paper Swans tells of how love can conquer all, and how when everything is broken one person can help to put the pieces together...


Verdict
Wow......I fell in love with Paper Swans so much. Heartbreaking and Life Changing....

Being a big fan of Jessica Thompson's last two books This is a love story and Three Little Words, I couldn't wait to read Paper Swans. When I saw the cover..it was breath taking, beautiful and can easily stand out on shelves!
Paper Swans is about a bloke called Ben Lawrence who has it all, the hot job, the flashy car, the amazing luxurious apartment. But one tragic day in his past stops him moving in the future. He won't let him self get close to anyone, won't let himself fall in love or anything...Until he meets Effy Jones, a bright, ambitious charity founder who Ben will be working with part of his job to work with a charity and help them raise money for that charity... Ben and Effy don't realise their lives are going to be turned upside down.

I loved reading Paper Swans so so much, Jessica Thompson is an amazing writer who in this book has written about Mental Health which can effect everybody in different ways even if you try and cover it up, Mental Health is still going to be there. Jessica really approached the story so amazingly and you really will fall in love with the story. 

I loved the characters Ben and Effy so much, at first when I was reading about Ben I thought he seemed a right tool and bit obnoxious however reading more and more of the book, my views changed of Ben and realised he just wanted to find to love deep down but that tragic accident is still lodged in his mind...
Effy comes across a care free kind person who will do anything for the people in her charity which is just amazing the things she will do.
I don't want to give too much away of the story as you need to experience the emotions yourself while reading this book.
I adored Paper Swans so much and want everybody to go out and buy all 3 of Jessica Thompson's book as you won't want to miss out!

"5 amazing, loveable, beautiful, magical stars"

January Releases

To kick start 2013 I thought I'd share some wonderful new books that are coming out this month! A lot of romantic and valentine ones which I fore one cannot wait to get my hands on hehe! In this blog post I shall share all the new releases that have come out already or due to come out any time soon in this month.
I will give you my opinions on what I think about the book covers and whether I will be grabbing copies of all the books.

To Kick start the first book to come out this month was Sheryl Browne's A Little Bit Of Madness, Now I am a big fan of Sheryl's books and she is also a lovely down to earth author and I am happy to be part of her book tour which is next month hehe!



These next set of books came out round about the same time! I Purchased two of the books myself the other week, I got Eleanor Moran The Last Time I Saw You and Julie Ashton The Valentine's Card. I picked them both because the covers and blurbs looked and sounded great and I needed a pick me up so I thought Eleanor Moran's book could give me feelings about how I cherish my friendship with my best friend ever so much. I needed a new chick lit romantic book and with Valentine's day just pretty much around the corner I knew The Valentine's Card by Julie Ashton would be perfect hehe!

A lovely book that I got sent by Ally Grant publisher of Simon & Schuster who was kind enough to send me a copy of Ali Harris' new release The First Last Kiss, First time I saw this book, I just knew I had to have a copy, I loved the cover and the blurb just sounded ever so romantic hehe.
All of the other books do have great covers and blurbs and I will end up purchasing them at one stage definitely!



Now coming to end of January we have some wonderful new releases that I think will wet everyone's taste for new books. Here they are:


I cannot wait for these lovely new releases to come out! Although I have already read Lucy Robinson's A Passionate Love Affair With A Total Stranger and I loved It! It was my first book by her and it was amazing, I shall be reading more books by Lucy definitely! I have also sneakily purchased Nick Spalding's new book Love. . . From Both Sides for my Kindle, It was cheap enough and have also bought the next follow on book to it as well hehe!

Also another new release that came out on the 22nd of this month was by Vivien Sparx The Falcon Falls, Now If you haven't read any of her books then I say you must do now!
 

 She is a superb lovely author who always has time for her fans and her books are amazing. If you love erotic romantic novels then you will certainly love her books. I have my copy of The Falcon Falls and I cannot wait to start it, Shortly I will be running a competition for you all to win a e-copy of The Falcon Falls courtesy of Vivien herself.

Now everyone, which books are you most looking forward to reading or have already bought and read? Please let me know!
