Vreemd bloed

by Kirsty Crawford

Ruth is tot over haar oren verliefd op Ned en hij op haar. Ze houden van elkaar en ze prikken al snel een trouwdatum. Het probleem met echte liefde is echter dat het niet alleen om twee mensen gaat. Er komt een schoonfamilie bij kijken en een vriendenkring, die je allemaal moet leren kennen en liefst ook nog aardig moet gaan vinden. Ruth begrijpt haar aanstaande schoonmoeder niet eens, laat staan dat ze haar aardig vindt. Is het gewoon een moeilijk mens of is er iets gevaarlijkers met haar aan de hand, en heeft Ruth echt voor haar te vrezen? Een roman met een duistere onderstroom over het krachtenspel binnen vriendschap

This book had potential to be skanky and creepy and raunchy, but it wasn’t. It was just a normal chicklit, women freaking out over her guy and the little stuff he does that seems shady, but it turns out it isn’t! So lame! Women meets and marries this guy really fast and doesn’t think twice. His mother is a total alkie and treats the Girl like shit and for some reason puts up with it as well as the Dude not sticking up for her, which I hate hate hate. You either are there for your wife or you aren’t. Also, the Dude has a group of really close friends and out of 4 people, one is a women and she is freaked out over her Dude liking the friend. They jump to conclusions without talking and shit hits the fan for no reason. So annoying. But they do stay together in the end and it all works out! The title makes you think that the book is going to be a little bit more juicy then it ends up being. A real disappointment.

Grade: C

Primeiro custou a começar. Estava em cima da mesa de cabeceira há uma eternidade.
Depois não estava a ir nada de encontro ao que eu estava à espera.
E de repente... ate começo a apreciar.
No fim, só consegui parar de ler quando cheguei ao último ponto final.

A personagem principal, Ruth, apesar de me parecer um bocado simpática de mais para todos os que fazem parte do seu noivo/marido e demasiado crente, a verdade é que, provavelmente, é o que todos nós tentamos fazer quando entramos no mundo de alguém: queremos ser aceites e queremos que gostem de nós.

A história tem um bom ritmo, as personagens principais são descritas de acordo com as opiniões de Ruth e, apesar de não ser uma novidade, o enredo é interessante.

Uma boa leitura para dias de ócio.

Someone left this behind in our honeymoon cottage in Jamaica, so I picked it up. I seem to always enjoy books with british heroines - and especially this one - all about planning a wedding and "mad" inlaws!

One of those books that portrays a chapter of she that's marrying into a new family with a guy that she does not know as well as she thought .. And new friends that hide secrets which are best left alone.

This was a cute book about newlyweds. It is a pretty good love story, nothing complex. It was nice to fly though after reading something a bit more complicated.
