Novel of the Week - Breakfast at Darcy’s by Ali McNamara

                       

I admit I have a problem when it comes to book’s titles…every book that has “breakfast” or “Tiffany” in it, automatically catches my attention.

It happened with “Something at Tiffany’s” by Melissa Hill and after have hated almost ¾ of the book I promised myself not to fall again for a book only because I love Tiffany…The only exception I made was for Breakfast at Darcy’s by Ali McNamara. It doesn’t have anything to do with Breakfast at Tiffany’s by Truman Capote and here’s the plot:

This novel is sparkling, full of sense of humor and hilarious conversations. I didn't understand the "breakfast" of the title, but it's a good novel anyway!

Ali McNamara did an awesome job!
