I contacted Sarah Rayner after reading one moment, one morning. This is not something I do but I so enjoyed the book and I felt she had to know, so I found her via her facebook page.
I wasn't expecting a reply but 48 hours later I got a lovely letter back she was in the process of releasing the two week wait, which I promptly got a copy of and read too, This wasn't a book for me, nothing wrong with the writing or Sarah's beautiful way of telling the story, it was the story it's self..
However by now I am picking up Sarah's news feeds and she is about to re-lease edited versions of books she had published in 2001 and was looking for a few people to read them.. I jumped at the chance and how glad I did,
both are brilliant!
The Other Half
I waited until I had a day to my self and just as well as I could not put it down! page after page, The Other Half is one exciting, fresh, fun, sexy read! I had no idea where it was going or how it would end - it kept me fascinated, amused, titillated from cover to cover. I really liked all of the characters and even found my self feeling sorry for the baddie!
I really didn't want to the book to end, the final page of a good book is like saying good bye to a old friends, I missed having the characters around me
After reading her other two books I knew it was going to be good but I was not expecting it to be so fantastic especially being one of her first books The first thing you notice is that all of her characters are incredibly real ( I feel that I know them all intimately now..they are my friends) Sarah's writing is a compelling read, it is written from the heart and therefore touches upon every emotion and feeling that all of us have within ourselves, the honesty is so intense you can touch it.
I really felt so sorry Maggie as she is everything I am in a woman and I just wanted to kick James in the nut's! having also read 50 shades of grey this year which is bloody awful, it just goes you shows sexy, lusty books can be written with good grammar!
Getting Even
A brilliant story set in Soho's adland mixed with a lot of bonking, bonding and backstabbing!
Sarah once more brings the story to life with a easy read style what a is a masterpiece, loosely based on Othello I found it to be compelling, completely enthralling, very sexy, mature, funny, clever witty and above all just totally inspiring.
Anyone who’s ever worked with a bitchy colleague or dodgy boss will relate to this book and maybe pass it round the office so your girlfriends can also have a snigger!
Once more I felt sorry for the baddie 'Ivy' but you know what the say about revenge is a dish best served cold, she got what was coming to her!
The characters are all from an ad agency, a world I know nothing about however I know what it's like to live and work in London and I was transported back to my youth, Sarah really does have a way of sucking you right into her world and making you want to stay there.
I read books to release me from my daily life, this certainly did that!
So if you are looking to escape the winter blues or the Christmas fuss, grab these two books when they are re-leased, settle down on the sofa and float to a new drama all told expertly by Sarah!
Thank you Sarah for sharing your books with me and I hope you will write many more ...x
