Stereotype of the staffie

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 December 2021

Verified Purchase

The moment I read about how the character's dogs got into a fight, and it was the "aggressive staffie's" fault, was the moment I was turned off. Please don't use lazy stereotyping Lucy - as if the lovely staffie doesn't have enough unfair press as it is.

I didn’t laugh out loud

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 July 2022

Verified Purchase

Whenever a book is described as feel good or laugh out loud, I wonder if it will be and in this case I didn’t laugh out loud or feel particularly good when it ended, but I suppose that is a question of personal taste.
Second chance romances are always intriguing and Lara and Ben’s story of one amazing night in New York together and then losing each other for various reasons looked as though it would be interesting.
Ben and Lara only meet again after Lara’s daughter, Eliza, finds him after an internet search and goes to Cambridge meet him. Eliza is an impulsive teenager who only thinks about what she wants, whatever the outcome, she wants to meet her Dad and doesn’t consider what this news will do to him or his wife.
I enjoyed the early part of the book but I started to lose interest about halfway through, it felt overly long and drawn out. Eliza was a bit irritating, but she’s a teenager that’s par for the course. Ben and Lara didn’t seem to have much chemistry on the page, it all felt a bit flat and I was glad to get to the end.

I love books by Lucy Diamond as a rule but this one left me wanting.. It was a good story with believable characters and I like it was set in two places I'm familiar with in the UK but there was something missing and for the first time with a Lucy Diamond book I was pleased when it finished. The ending was predictable too. Would have preferred a surprising ending rather than what I predicted half way through.

Un-put-down-able (Is that even a word)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 August 2022

Verified Purchase

I absolutely LOVED Lucy Diamond’s latest book, “Anything Could Happen”. I am a fan of Lucy’s work but I think this book is currently my favourite. The reader is whisked off to New York (twice) Scarborough, Cambridge and Edinburgh. There are missed chances of happiness, which give the story a “sliding doors” element, and twists which cause the reader to doubt the outcome you are expecting and hoping for. The main characters are totally believable and engaging. I particularly enjoyed the close mother daughter relationship throughout the book. The book explores the importance of the different types of loves that we have in our lives; parents, sisters, friends and partners. I totally recommend you read it!

I was so disappointed about the sterotype of the staffie it made me sad because they dont need more against them so i contacted Lucy Diamond and she answered me and we had a really good discussion about this and she understood very well that this had upset me. She is herself a hugh doglover and lives with one. This is a book for one of those days when you just need to empty your head and not have to be so concentrated.
