Loading... My Best Friend's Girl (2006)by Dorothy Koomson
None. I really like books that make me cry...this one made me cry more than once and not just at the end. Good times. (  ) melissarochelle | Apr 12, 2013 |  Hmm what to say. I did enjoy the book but I had expected it to be better. Just like in her other book Marshmallows. An adult falls in love with a child and suddenly they are visiting the child daily and become like a father(in marshmallows a mother) which is a bit weird, come on. I don't know, it reminded me too much of Marshmallows i guess. wanted to hear more about the adoption process and got a bit sick about her not loving Luke, then she did love him. Not knowing what she wanted. I will give this author another try cause even though the writing annoys me sometimes i still like to read her books. 7.5 ( ) Marlene-NL | Apr 12, 2013 | Kamryn Matika's friend Adele slept with her fiancee Nate and had his child. As a result they parted and have not seen each other since until Adele finds out that she is dying and ask Kamryn to look after her child, Tegan. Kamryn has broken off with Nate, has a high powered job and a hectic social life, and has never had any desire to have children. However she takes on the responsibility of caring for Tegan, and Tegan adds to the family dynamics by formng an attachment with Kamryn's boss Luke. And to make the love triangle complete Nate has to reenter the story. This was a very enjoyable story dealing with many important issues - death, grief, forgiveness, responsibilty, and coming to understand oneself better. . We journey with Kamryn and Tegan as they deal with the death of a mother, and a best friend. We journey with Kamryn as she comes to love Tegan and change her life in order to care for her. The book was at times very sad, and at times funny. I liked the characters and found them believable. It was a very moving read. (  ) kiwifortyniner | Feb 21, 2012 | Not good, not bad: I thought the narrative and the characters in this book were not so brilliant. However, despite the extremely difficult circumstances which the main character, Kamryn, finds herself in, this book deliveres an outstanding message of love which I'm sure will inspire interesting conversations for its readers. lonepalm | Dec 8, 2011 | Kamryn Matika spends her 33rd birthday learning that her best friend is dying and wants Kamryn to adopt her daughter. Kamryn has been an avowed singleton ever since her painful breakup with her fiance. Parenting hardly comes naturally to her, and the book follows what happens when she becomes Tegan Brannon's guardian. Along with the expected challenges of managing work and parenting and dealing with a grieving child, Kamryn must try and mend her broken love life. She develops a love-hate relationship with her new boss while trying to avoid her ex-fiance. This is a book full of damaged people trying to find love. It is also a book full of people mistreating one another. I found some of the relationships difficult to believe. Kamryn and her boss, Luke, were particularly odd. This is a touching story, but it is not always entirely believable. ( ) lahochstetler | Feb 11, 2011 | no reviews | add a review
