This is the second book in Allen's series about the Ravenshurst cousins and I loved it! It's well written and funny and the two central characters are both endearing.

I loved the polar bear and the incident with the bathing machines - very enjoyable historical fiction with a very sexy romance!

"A mathematician explains how math plays into our daily lives without our even knowing it. The writing is funny, smooth, and accessible — not what you might expect from a book on this subject. Ellenberg’s larger point is that there are ways in which we’re all doing math, all the time."

I adored how cute this book was. The progression of Dimple and Rishi’s relationship as the got to know each other was wonderful. I especially liked how we got to see it from both points of view. This book made me giggle with glee, go all mushy at the cuteness and ultimately really root for the main characters. It’s been a while since a book had me this invested in a romance, especially a stand alone novel. As well as cute, this book was also funny. The humour was strong throughout, which really added to my overall enjoyment.

fantastic read
This is the third book in this series by this author. This is the final book in this series and OMG what a final book this was. This is such a suspenseful story, I just couldn't put it down till I'd finished it. This is a sexy, funny, suspenseful story, that will keep you reading long into the night. Amazing characters with such intense chemistry between them. I can't wait to read more from this amazing author in the future.



Highly recommended read

A cracking good book. I'm not one for autobiographies much but I needed a break from my usual genre and <i>How To be Champion </i> was the perfect book to choose. It was funny, witty and full of no fucks.

I found myself laughing so much during the read of this book and I thought Sarah's ability to take the piss out of herself while not giving a rats arse was brilliant. We need more people who can do that - people who are so unbothered by other people's opinions.

Hats off to you Sarah. Champion book.

This was the second time I read this book. I re-read it because I was attempting to get my family to read the book but ended up just reading most of it by myself. I love this book and find that it might be my favorite Austen novel, although Pride and Prejudice will always hold a very special place in my nostalgic heart. Persuasion is funny, sweet, and I love the characters, especially Anne. I love watching her confidence in herself grow and the look at how we view ourselves vs. how others view us. Love this book!

This is the second book in this series by this author. This book will definitely take you on an emotional roller coaster of a ride. When you get to the epilogue you will be crying, have the tissues at the ready. This is a sweet, funny, emotional, slow burn romantic read. The characters were well written with fantastic chemistry between them . I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.

The second book in Donald Jack's Bandy papers series, this is the novel that convinced me to read more of his works.

Set during the last year of the First World War (1914 - 1918), I have to say I found this book to be funnier than both the later installments in the series, and than the previous entry ("Three Cheers For Me"): indeed, this book was the cause of me getting some funny looks when I burst out laughing in work one lunch-time ...
