This is a book in my native language.

I honestly don't know where to start. I got this ebook for free with two other ebooks through this kind of deal.

This book is about Olivia who is 27 and is dating happily dating this guy called Maarten. Well, she thinks she is happy and loving Maarten. Until she wakes up in a bed of a stranger, his name is Sven she later found out. She breaks up with Maarten and is dating Sven later on but their relationship is kinda based on lies that Olivia says. Olivia tries to make up with Sven with help of her friends, Kirsten and Mylene, and succeed. (her friends plays also a big roll in the story)

I didn't like the story at all. It was so boring and it didn't got me hyped up at all. It might because I read a lot of English books and suddenly I read something in my language. The writing style is the issue of that I think. Some scenes really bothered me. There was this scene where she was eating in a restaurant I think with Maarten. She whispered something and Maarten could understand her. Normally in a restaurant if it's full packed, which was in this situation, there was a lot of noise and there could be a lot of situations where you just don't hear someone quite well and has to repeat it. No, this time she whispered and Maarten understood her like how? I don't understand. If I whispered something in a loud environment, no one I repeat no one could hear or understand what I said.

Another issue I have is that Olivia only knows wine as a drink. Man, she drinks a lot! It's like she blocked out of the other drinks like water or soda out of her system.
I think that, after the characters names, wine and whispering and groaning/moaning also going to be in the top 7 list of most used words in a book. Cause man the writer of this book uses it a lot!

There are a lot of other issues I've got with this book but if I wrote all these down then this review will never be ending.

The only plus side ive got is that is a quick read Chicklit story.
