Praise for Lazy Ways to Make a Living '(A) fizzy, deliciously hedonistic book. A sheer, unalloyed delight' SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY 'Exquisitely realised middle-class fantasy which is just grounded in enough reality to keep it readable, makes LAZY WAYS TO MAKE A LIVING a rare treat' SUNDAY TIMES 'Wryly funny, intelligent and very entertaining' MARIE CLAIRE
Product Description
Emily Drummond has just finished her degree and the world is her oyster. She can do anything she wants. So when she marries Andrew, nineteen years her senior, after knowing him less than six weeks, eyebrows are raised. Is this a case of marry in haste and repent at leisure? Is Andrew having a mid-life crisis? Or is this true love for both of them? Then Emily meets Jack, who's just back from travelling the world, and he offers her a glimpse of what life might be like with someone her own age. Suddenly the doubts come crowding in: did she marry Andrew too hastily and does the age-gap matter after all?

Disappointing after a great debut,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Nice Girl Like Me (Paperback)
Having been greatly amused by 'Lazy Ways to Make a Living', I looked forward to 'A Nice Girl Like Me'. I was seriously disappointed - where has the wit and fun gone that actually made 'Lazy Ways to Make a Living' an entertaining (if unbelievable) read ? 'A Nice Girl Like Me' falls firmly into the 'chick-lit' category - and at the bottom end of it ! Although a novel setting, the plot is weak and the ending a convenience.Bosanko has the capability to write fluently and amusingly and can definitely do better.

A Nice Girl Like Me by Abigail Bosanko,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Nice Girl Like Me (Paperback)
This book got off to a good start and the whisky setting was a great one but so much more could have been done with it though. The character of Emily was rather too nice and goody goody for my liking and the ending of the book rather dull and predicatbale. A big disappointment of a read after such a promising start.

disappointed,
This review is from: A Nice Girl Like Me (Paperback)
Having read her first novel, Lazy ways to make a living (my sister lent it to me), I couldn't wait to receive her next book which I immediately ordered, but it was hard to believe this book was written by the same author. I read Abigail Bosanko's first novel in two evenings, I couldn't bear to put it down and just kept turning pages to find out what happened next, but with this one I couldn't be bothered to turn the page. It was so boring I actually didn't want to know what happened next. Although it was a struggle, I did finish it, but must conclude that Ms Bosanko is probably going to be a "one book wonder" and after having read this book, wont be buying another one by this author.
