About the Book:
Meet Ellie Cooke. When it comes to all things environmental she’s, well, a bit ‘green’. It’s not that she doesn’t care about things like climate change and plastic pollution, it’s just that life has always got in the way of that sort of thing. But when the PR firm Ellie works for is taken over by keen environmentalist Nolan Reece, it’s clear that if she wants to save her job, she’s going to have to get serious about being green—or face being recycled. Going green is no walk in the park, though. It involves a lot of big changes, tough choices…and at least one case of accidentally showing your knickers off to your boss. Can Ellie do enough to save her job, and maybe do her bit to help save the planet while she’s at it? And what will Nolan think of her, now that she can’t stop thinking about him…?

My Review:
I am a massive Nick Spalding fan so requesting this on NetGalley was a no brainer. Mr Spalding does not disappoint in this his newest book, I have always found myself laughing out loud at his wit in the stories he writes, and I urge you to read this (and all of the others) at your earliest convenience. Nick Spalding has a knack for taking an aspect of modern life, finding the humour but also writing the poignant and thought-provoking elements. Not only did I laugh, it made me think about my own carbon footprint. Nick Spalding continues to write extremely funny books with an underlying message.

As with most of Spalding’s novels the story is built around a simple general concept - here it is going green. Around the concept Spaulding writes a series of tangentially connected anecdotes. In his best novels these anecdotes have genuine laugh out loud moments...like this one did. The book confirms that Spalding’s writing is comic genius and actually demonstrates the skill in creating humour with an engaging plot and varied characters. Fantastic book, I loved every page.

Disclousure:
Thank you NetGalley, Nick Spalding, Amazon Publishing UK and Lake Union Publishing for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an impartial review; all opinions are my own.

Must Love Books by Shauna Robinson

My rating: 3.5 Stars A book about books and a girl who loves books? Yes please! Who could not love a premise like this? I loved the realistic characters and I felt for Nora, she captured my heart. I was really cheering a romance on for her but alas, it was not meant to be I guess. I appreciated that the author handled the mental health issues with sensitivity and care, who of us has not need to dig deep and make a hard decision based on what is best for us. It was very brave of the author to put working for a publishing house in a bad light and we all know this is fiction! Even though the book started off a bit slow for me it was a great way to spend a cozy Sunday afternoon and I found it very entertaining. With many thanks to NetGalley, Shauna Robinson and Sourcebooks Landmark for the giving of the ARC. View all my reviews
