Limericks, lies and puppy-dog eyes Amateur poet Jude is a carnivore working in a vegan cafe. His little dog, Bubbles, is the only man in the Anglo-Japanese graduate’s life—but Jude yearns from afar for “Karate Crumpet”, a man who runs past the cafe window every Saturday night leading a martial arts ...
I refer you to Kat for this one.There's oodles of charm here (and I'm a huge fan of JL Merrow) but somehow it didn't quite come together for me. There are some absolutely lovely scenes and the dialogue is zingy and I appreciated in principle the flamboyance of the narrator (although, in practice, he...
This is a new review due to second read-through!***** 5 I-love-you-book stars *****I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!I love it so much I want to buy a HARDBACK (yes, a hardback) and do this!And maybe do a little happy dance!This book is all kinds of ridiculous, but ridiculously funny, hysterically funny! It's very...
That was really sweet. And really funny. But also of course completely predictable. The MC is excitable, very very fruity and has a great rambling voice throughout the whole book that matches his personality. The cast of characters (his Mum and Keisha!) are great. And it's English! I love it when ...
Where to begin? Probably with the fact that this story was truly cathartic. It has been a long, long time since I laughed this hard. Every single sentence fucked with at least one not very politically correct theme, often more than one, and every time cracking me up so bad I had to look up from my b...
I love JL Merrow's writing style, the Britishisms, the wit, the characters. In this one we have Jude, Anglo-Japanese, 22 years old but can pass for much younger, wonderful mum, and VERY much out. Then there is David, karate instructor, contractor, and VERY in. They meet when David saves Jude from a ...
Okay, so it's been a bad reading week. I haven't read as many books as I'd like, and one book I read made me really unhappy, so this was such a treat to read because i laughed through the whole book, and i desperately needed that.Jude is hilarious, and a little obnoxious, and i love him. I could tak...
2.5 stars... It really didn't need to be as long as it was. The ending was much better than the beginning and all in between, but even that seemed rushed. It took me a looooong time to finish for a few reasons: lack of interest, my house in upheaval and a birth in the family. However, it was the ...
Witty sarcasm coupled with a sweet romance made for a story that's hard to put down!Jude Biggerstaff is a recent college graduate who hasn't quite started to work on his career. After a bad breakup, he decides to live with his Mom, work on his violin and poetry skills, and hang out with his best fri...
