I had pre ordered Mad About You & was looking forward to reading it but unfortunately for me this one just didn’t hit the mark.
I appreciate the covering of the subject of coercive controlling behaviour (have actually been subject to a lesser form myself) but the interaction between the ‘love interest’ characters came too late in the book & then was too little for me.
I was surprised to realise that I was 3/4 way through the book & thought ‘wow, nothings happened yet!’
Sorry, not her best but I will still look forward to her next one ………. !
Mhairi McFarlane is an author whose past novels I have enjoyed and that I completely trust to provide me with an engaging read with relatable characters. She doesn’t write zany chic-lit but what I would class as comedy-dramas that are light but not overly fluffy.
‘Mad About You’ starts with Harriet Hayley receiving a surprise proposal from her long-standing boyfriend at his parents lavish 40th anniversary party. Even though Harriet is a successful wedding photographer in high demand, she has no desire to get married. She panics and runs away upsetting everyone.
She has to immediately find a new place to live and a friend points her in the direction of Cal Clarke, who has just had his own wedding-related disaster and is in need of a housemate. Over time they form a supportive friendship … could it become something more? Hovering in the background is her
ex, Jonathan, whose wounded pride leads him to create trouble for Harriet including via social media.
I appreciated that Harriet at thirty-five wasn’t portrayed as an ingenue but as a successful grown woman seeking to address her long held insecurities. The romantic elements felt organic.
Overall, I enjoyed ‘Mad About You’ very much. It was witty and charming though it didn’t shy away from exploring the effects of toxic relationships.
4.5 stars rounded up to 5.
I'm a good chunk in and we aren't done with the break-up of her previous relationship... we haven't met the hero of this story yet (I suspect it will be the runaway groom from the start) and according to other reviews I still have a wee while to go before we get to any of that and I'll be honest, I'm a bit bored.
If it gets better I'll come back and rewrite this... but I'm not holding out hope.
---
So I finally finished it, but I'll be honest I skimmed and full on skipped parts to get there... its fine I guess.
This storyline seemed comprised bits of unrelated plot ideas, and Harriet just did not come alive for me. I became exasperated at each new calamity from her past. Other reviewers have said that the romance was underwritten and I agree.
I have given 3 stars because there were little glimpses of how good Mhairi’s writing is, but this is not her best. I suppose it gets harder to find new storylines, but this book has suffered. I wonder whether the misery of Covid has affected her writing? I hope this was a temporary blip and her future books return to form.
