Advantages: A brilliant, thought-provoking read Disadvantages: Hard to put down!
This is another fantastic book by Lisa Jewell. I have read some of her other work - such as Vince and Joy, 31 Dream Street, and Thirtynothing.
This book begins with a prologue, which sees the main character, Melody, at the age of nine, outside her house which is burning down. Her parents are with her.
The book then moves to the present day and each chapter then goes from the present day, back to when Melody was a young girl. It goes back and fore between the two.
In the present day, Melody is 33 with a son, Edward, who is about to turn 18 (she had him at 15). She is a dinner lady at Edward's school, and she has just met Ben who asks her out on a date. She agrees to go and it changes her life forever. They go to see a hypnotist's show and when he calls her up on to the stage, she passes out, but later she finds herself ...
Advantages: Delivery Time met Disadvantages: Poor after sales service
I went and bought a bed from Dreams shop after many times of viewing and testing out some beds.

I felt that the level of customer service in dealing with this problem of mine to be a big let down for the company. The delivery time was stated as three weeks and they did at least ...

Buying The Book
I bought this book, along with the rest in the Logan series off of Amazon at very good prices. Being a huge fan of Virginia Andres I knew I would love the series, and I was not disappointed. It took me a bit longer to read this set than normal as I just couldn't get into it. Not because of the quality of the books or anything, I just didn't have the compulsion to read, when I got it I ploughed through the book like a woman posessed!!
The Series
There is actually five books in this series, which is typical of Virginia Andrews. Olivia is the prequel, then Melody, followed by Heart Song, Unfinished Symphony and finally Music in The Night. This series is strange because it has two prequels, Olivia is the story of the grandmothers upbringing and Music in The Night is the story of Laura Logan (Melodys ...
