Love Struck by Chantelle Guertin

This novel tells the story of Poppy, a 27 year old who lives in Toronto and works as a style adviser. One day, her husband Parker gets struck by lightening and forgets the last 3 months of his life, which include having an affair.



The book follows Poppy as she tries to re-build her marriage after Parker turns into a different person, but also after learning of his affair, from the woman he was having it with!

It is a very tongue in cheek book and half of the things that happen in the book probably wouldn't happen to anyone in real life. It was a comedy of errors, with the biggest error being Poppy not communicating with her husband and trying to turn herself into someone she thinks he wants her to be.

I got through the book quite quickly, and that's partly because I really enjoyed it, and partly because some parts bored me and I skipped over them. There were several sections in which I didn't think it was relevant and lingered on the subject for slightly too long, but overall I enjoyed it. Poppy was built up to be a likeable character and there were times where I wanted to scream at her 'just talk to him!' She did some outrageous things in order to try and win her husband back and it was actually quite funny.

I would recommend this book to people who like an easy read - perhaps a book they can take away on holiday with them. I certainly enjoyed it and will look out for more books by the same author.
