Before I begin, I did enjoy this book. This is the second of DK's novels that I have read and I was anticipating a treat.
The story is well thought out - a woman, escaping her troubles finds herself, rather unintentionally, with a whole lot more - and the bouncing flow of the book brings to life the characters in a really readable way. The plot is there, the writing excellent and the dark undercurrent that runs alongside the story is tantalising.
But. And there is a 'but', the ending fell flat on its face. The build up throughout the entire book seemed to just fizzle out and die and left me feeling let down that the story didnt feel 'finished'.
So, as I say, slightly disappointing. But worth a read anyway.

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 :)

I have only recently discovered Dorothy Koomson and this is the third book I have read by her, although it isnt in my opinion the best book she has written it is still a thoroughly enjoyable book and Summer and Jaxson are so adorable and I felt myself wanting to be a part of their lives! The ending wasnt the ending that I had hoped for but its still a nice ending to a thoroughly enjoyable read.

Relaxing Read
I'm a big fan of Dorothy Koomson but I feel she set the bar high with her book 'My Best Friend's Girl' and now can't top it. Read more

So So
I kept reading this thinking it would pick up but it just seemed to stagnate slightly which is a shame as I've read all of Koomson's books and enjoyed them all. Read more

An exciting twist
As my title suggests, I quite enjoyed this book. I wasn't expecting much more than a simple chick lit, that I could settle into and feel good about myself as I turned the final... Read more

Sooo dull and irritating
Never thought I would actually finish this book. It has a dull story line and a character that is supposed to be mysterious and dark but is nothing but pompous, stupid and... Read more

Not very marshmallow like at all...
Eugh, I've got to about page 60 of this book and I cannot bare to read any further. The main character, Kendra, is the most unbelievable character I've come across. Read more

Not Impressed At All
I wasn't impressed at all with Marshmallows for Breakfast. I felt it lacked characterisation and the ending left me feeling glum. It was my first experience of Dorothy Koomson. Read more
