What a great read! I really enjoyed this novel and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an entertaining, contemporary romance / chick-lit read.
The Boyfriend Sessions by Belinda Williams presented the story of a young professional woman experiencing the ups and downs that modern life entails. Christa is a fun character with a likeable and relatable personality. After she runs away from a marriage proposal, Christa’s best girlfriends take on the task of examining her romantic history and why her relationships keep falling apart with a view to setting her on the “right” course for love.
Christa and her girlfriends have a familiarity about them – like perhaps you are reading about the lives of some school friends that you haven’t seen in a few years. The girls converse with each other in a way that is frank and clearly reflects that they have a close friendship with each other to tolerate opinions that at times might seem harsh. While in reality, most people wouldn’t actually speak to even a best friend with such opinion, but Williams allows the characters enough rope to for the story to develop and progress, without making the characters un-relatable. It’s like they speak the words that perhaps you “think” when you have an opinion about a friend’s situation, but perhaps in reality you phrase more gently over a longer period of time that would be less entertaining and rather long winded if presented in a novel! While some might find the directness of some dialogue confronting, Williams uses the direct conversation to keep the story moving along.
One of the things that I really enjoyed about this novel is that if was a great take on the life of a young professional, living in a city environment, working in a modern business world. The characters are smart and talented and I found this to be a refreshing change to many of the lead women in this genre.
This novel is a page turner. It offers food for thought and a realistic take on the lives of a group of young professional women. Will Christa sort out her head and keep Mr Right in her life? Read it and find out. Plus I understand that there are further novel planned looking at the lives of Christa’s girlfriends and I can’t wait to get to know the each of the girls.
