One Thing Led To Another

by: Katy Regan

This is her debut novel. Came out somewhere in February 2009..

the best thing about reading anyone's debut is that, a first time writer will probably give his/her all to his/her first book. the best plot. the best writing. the best and most imaginative & interesting scene.

ok maybe not the. best. in. the. world. ever.
but the best to his/her ability.

having said that..

i feel compelled to review this book cos it's one of those few books that feels real. something i havent read in a long while ever since i got myself stucked in the 'fantasy/paranormal' genre.

basically, its a good read. good ending. good middle part.. good start.

which means.. its a good book. not the best. but its good enough. something i would compare with the early writings of Jane Green.

the story revolves around Tess, the narrator - who kinda had a thing going 'as and when' with the bestfriend. and by 'thing', i meant those that involved bed. and by 'bed', i dont mean sleeping....

it doesnt have to be bed..
but anyways...

one fine day, the same day she (after all those years) bumped into that one guy - The One That Got Away - the one whom she dares to say, is The One - she found herself pregnant by none other than her very own best friend. yup... after years of doing the dirty deed between the sheet with the best friend (a.k.a. f*** buddy though she refused to use that term to describe them) - whom by the way, remained being her best buddy despite their other friends rolling their eyes everytime they mentioned their 'just friend' status - of all time, the little swimmer decides that its time to swim towards mothership.

im guessing its based on her real life, if u checkout her blog. the pregnant bit. not meeting up the other guy.

she was lucky coz the best friend is supportive of it. the pregnancy. not the other guy.

and thats when the drama begins.
its your typical british contemporary chic-lit. which has always been a favourite of mine.

very very light reading.. something that i would read all over again. given the chance. but since i have another 4 books to read.. im gonna have to postpone that plan.

if i had to recommend anyone anything light to read.. this would be it.

cant wait for her second book.
