This is a Love Story by Jessica Thompson

This is a Love Story stood out to me in the library because of it's lovely pale turquoise coloured cover, so I picked it up and checked it out. Now, I should have listened to those people who say 'you should never judge a book by it's cover'.

I hate to be so negative about a book so I will try not to, but I didn't enjoy this at all. I think I had some expectations about what would constitute a love story and this didn't meet any of them.

It is written about two main characters - Sienna and Nick, and swaps between each of their points of view throughout the book. They meet on the train one morning, and then just happen to be working for the same office, and the reason they didn't know this fact was that Nick had been away on holiday while Sienna had started her new job there.

The first thing that annoyed me was that the facts didn't add up. Maybe it was because I was skim reading through it and missing parts, but the time Sienna had been working at the company didn't match the time Nick had been on holiday for.

Each section kept describing how both of them really liked (and possibly even loved) the other one, yet there was the absence of any sexual chemistry, flirting or attraction. They were described as being just friends, and yes probably best friends, but I was disappointed at the lack of chemistry between them.

I've read quite a lot of romance novels, and there is usually some sort of hint of some attraction, which this book was lacking.

I have to say that I only got half way through it and then I got bored. There really wasn't anything exciting going on and nothing that would want to keep me reading it. I didn't really care if Sienna and Nick got together in the end, because their characters weren't built up to be like able enough to care much about them. So I took it back to the library.......

I'm afraid I won't be recommending this book as I can't really like of anything positive about it or who might like it. I feel that there are better, more heart warming romance novels out there instead....sorry!
