This book kept going backwrds then forward and it got really confusing after awhile. i really got into it at first but then i was reading and figuring since i've gone this far with the book i might as well finish it. Won't know if i'll read any of her other books. ( )

I fell in love with the characters in the first book I read by Ms Koomson. That was My Best Friends Girl. The characters were very real and sympathetic.

In Marshmallows I never felt like the characters had any depth. Even the children were'nt particularly likeable. I know that they were meant to be shown at their worst because of what they'd been thru, but I found I didn't care. I took me nearly 3 months to finish this, which rarely happens with a book. ( )

While Marshmallows for Breakfast was not as easy for me to get into, once I did, I couldn't put it down. It is just as wonderfully written as her last book & her characters are so vividly real, you just want to reach through the pages & scoop them into your arms.

Hmm, i brought this book as i really enjoyed my best friends girl..I was quite excited about reading this book..BUT by the time i reached chapter 7, i was looking forward to finishing it. It was a bit of a drag in places..This book had no 'wow' factor for me, it didnt excite me, it didnt make me want want to carry on reading, i even skipped bits now and again as i was so desperate for it to end. I HAVE to read all books i start.

So yes, it is ok, but i wouldnt really recommend it highly..but then again,i wouldnt tell people not to buy it.
I guess it just wasnt for me :) ( )

Better than her first book which almost put me off having a go at this one. Lots of detail and a page turner in places. Not the obvious chick lit ending. ( )
