Big city, big dreams, no money, no problem...
Six 'friends', one flat, big dreams... what could go wrong? When eighteen-year-old Anna leaves school and moves to Liverpool, she feels like her life is finally beginning. She's landed her dream job at a theatre, and she's moving into an exciting (if not slightly run-down) flat on a buzzing street lined with shops, bars, and buskers. Best of all, her new flatmates are kind, welcoming and a lot of fun - what more could she ask for?
But although her new life is fun, it's also a little overwhelming. Anna's job quickly falls through, and then she realises that although her new friends are great, they're also a little mixed-up... and it's not long before Anna starts using her blog to talk about her experiences, from the hilarious to the ridiculous to the little-bit-scary. But when Anna spills a bigger secret than she can handle, suddenly the consequences are all too real. She'll have to prove she has the mettle to make it in the big city, or risk losing everything she thinks she wants.
I have read a few of Keris Stainton's YA novels and have rather enjoyed them so I was interested about her New Adult book.
I loved this book much more than I thought I would and that is simply because of the characters.
All the characters were so lively and multi-dimensional. They were also completely unique from one another and yet they mixed together extremely well.
The setting of Liverpool was an interesting dynamic and I have never read a book set there before.
The only negative thing I can say about this book is that the romance took too long to develop and so it was kind of rushed towards the end.
