Advantages: Enjoyable story, well written Disadvantages: A straightforward chicklit novel
A Hopeless Romantic by Harriet Evans was published in 2006. Having read her previous novel, Going Home, I was keen to try this one too. I purchased it when it was still in hardback in 2007, for £10, which I thought was rather good for a nice hardback. The cover is sparkly, with glitter on it, and the book is not too large - a perfect chick lit book.
I like the occasional chick lit novel, but I like them to be reasonably intelligent. I need a good story, well written characters and good details. I found that Going Home met these requirements, but would A Hopeless Romantic?
The novel tells the story of Laura, who is addicted to falling in love. She has had numerous romantic disasters and is in the midst of another, to her friends despair. When everything goes wrong, she retreats on a family holiday to Norfolk, where she meets Nick ...
About every 6-9 months, we need to buy new shoes, and what better place to do just that then Clarks, one of the UK's top shoe shops.
THE WINDOWS
I've seen many Clarks stores are very basic when it comes to windows, this Clarks had a few shoes on display, nothing else. Not drawing me in.
SHOPABILITY
There's a range of shoes in Clarks, adult shoes, trainers, school shoes and shoes for babies and toddlers. You could clearly see all the shoes being displayed, but I found everything tightly packed and there were very few different types of shoes in each selection. (e.g. one or two "Bootleg" and one or two "YoToy" under trainers)
WAS I BEING SERVED?
There were two people in the shop who could serve you, and they were helpful, there was one who was on the till, and one helping people try on their shoes, and also working ...
Advantages: Touching, romantic and a story of childhood Disadvantages: none
In my opinion this box set is a must see for any little girl and her mother as it truly is a very delightful story. It is based on the books by Lucy Maud Montgomery.
It is about an orphan, Anne who goes to live in Green Gables, Avonlea, on Prince Edward island with an old lady and her brother. Anne is played terrificly well by the Canadian actress Megan Follows and has the well renound actress Colleen Dewhurst as Marilla Cutherbert. The films basically follow Anne as she grows up and all the trials and tribulations of being an orphan, having to act politely in grown up situations and the fact that she does not like her red hair!
As the story progresses and it moves on in time it also follows the love story between her and Gilbert Blythe.
It is set in a truly wonderful time, of innocence and will really make you teary eyed in places ...
