Book Review - Tell Me Something.

Tell Me Something - Adele Parks

Die-hard romantic Elizabeth has always wanted two things in life - an Italian husband and lots of rosy-checked babies. When she meets fabuously sexy Roberto, she glides down the aisle and dreamily pictures holding their first little bundle of joy.

But instead they end up running Roberto's family business, where Elizabeth finds there's more to living in Italy than enjoy ice cream in the sun-drenched piazzas. She doesn't need to be fluent in the language to understand that her scheming mother-in-law and Robeto's beautiful, significant ex are hellbent on destroying her marriage. And when Elizabeth finds herself craving the company of a gorgeous American stranger, she knows her filthy, flirty thoughts about him are totally inappropriate. But there's no denying he sets her temperature rising...

Could it be that Italy is turning Elizabeth's love of romance into a desire for something far more scandalous and passionate?

First things first, I blooming loved this book. I started reading it last Saturday (I had a 2 day break between reading this and Making Up Your Mind...) and for the past two nights I've been up till gone midnight reading it. It's been a real hard to put down book which I have really enjoyed.

Before I started reading the book I knew that it was going to be a Chic Lit, Adele Parks is known for her Chic Lit writing. However, this is the first book of hers that I have read and I will most definitely be reading others.

There's not really much to say to review the book. I don't know why...it had some great little twists and I loved the ending <3 Especially that there is an Epilogue. I think that if there wasn't, I wouldn't have liked the ending so much.

The book is told from Elizabeth's POV. She starts off however by telling us about her childhood and her first ever visit to Italy. We then find out about her love for everything Italian, and how she meets Roberto. The chapters in the book are quite short which I like, some only a couple pages long. I like that in books as I can usually finish a chapter before having to urgently doing something or other.

The only couple of things which I don't like about the book, is that I feel as though the blurb sort of lies. It says about Roberto's mother and his ex are hellbent in destroying their marriage, and I totally get this on part of Elizabeth's mother-in-law. But to be honest, there is only a couple of chapters where Roberto's ex actually speaks...and nothing to do with destroying the marriage.

Okay so in the end, it is mainly to do with her.

But still...that's my only fault.

:D

Totally adored this book and recommend it lots and lots :D
