After reading ‘Say Hello, Kiss Goodbye’ by Jacqueline Middleton last year, I knew I wanted to read more books by this author. So when I got the opportunity to read ‘The Certainty of Chance’, I couldn’t say no. And when I got the time to start reading, I dived right in. In ‘The Certainty of Chance’ ...KEEP READING »

Say Hello, Kiss Goodbye

When I first saw the cover of ‘Say Hello, Kiss Goodbye’ I was immediately fascinated and I wanted to read where this book was all about. I mean.. Have you seen that cover? Gorgeous right?! And after reading the book description I knew this was a book I wanted to read.

In ‘Say Hello, Kiss Goodbye’ we meet Leia Scott, a twenty six year old fashion designer from New York. Leia is temporarily visiting London to be with her sister, and to escape the ex who cheated on her. Now the only thing Leia wants is to spend time with her family, make some fun new designs and have a nice fling with a handsome British guy. Tarquin Balfour sounds perfect for that. But what Leia doesn’t know is that Tarquin wants much more than just a fling.

‘Say Hello, Kiss Goodbye’ was a fun read with a great setting. I loved spending time in London with these characters. If I didn’t miss London already, I would have started missing it after reading this book. Getting to know these characters was also fun. I enjoyed getting to know Leia and Tarquin and they had some nice chemistry.

What I didn’t like as much was that I found the first half of the book moving very slow. The conversations between the characters where very long and detailed. Which isn’t all that bad, but at times I just wished things would have gone a little faster. I lost interest at times.

What I did love about this read was how part of it was about mental health problems. It’s rare I read a book where there is talk about mental health. I definitely think that was a nice little extra of this read.

Overall, a fun read but it could have moved a lot faster if you ask me.
