Stacey just wasn’t my cup of tea. Really none of the characters were. I just never connected with them and overall didn’t like this very much.

Second Best was a great book that hooked me in from the first few pages, I just had to keep reading as I needed to find out how it ended. I read this book in a day I just couldn't put it down.
A great easy read that I'm sure everyone will enjoy.

Another great read from Pamela Fudge. I thought this was going to be a very predictable story (but still enjoyable) but about 3/4 way through the book there was a change in direction. Pamela Fudge has such an easy way with words that the reader is drawn into the story from the very beginning . A five star read

I went into this book looking for a nice easy romantic read, which it definitely was, but I was also hoping that there would be a bit more to the story it terms of 'surprises' or 'plot twists' which there wasn't. I had pretty much guessed exactly what would happen from the synopsis so there was a slight hope of being proven wrong. Both the main characters of Stacey and Lex took me a little bit to warm up to, mainly due to their individual introductions, Stacey I could not relate to due the extreme impulsiveness of her nature and Lex due to the fact he acts like a douchebag in there first meeting. However saying that I did grow to love them together and could eventually forgive them, never trust a first impression! The other main problem I also had initially was that I felt that they put themselves in a very unbelievable situation, yes I could understand the reasoning behind it both with the characters thought processes behind it and also in terms of the book why it happened to propel the story forward but for me it made it that much harder to relate to the book as I just couldn't see it happening.

However this was still an enjoyable read, I did enjoy the build up of their relationship as well as Stacey's relationship with some of the secondary characters, she does also show a significant amount of character growth throughout the novel which is always great to see. Another great point for me was that Nick didn't change as much as you would probably want him to, contradictory I know, but I felt this was far more realistic as people don't change overnight, especially if they don't see anything wrong with what there doing in the first place. If your in the mood for a quick romantic read then I would recommend this for you.
