After reading Unsticky, I definitely wanted to keep reading other books by Sarra Manning! I saw that she had another book titled You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me
.
This story revolves around Neve and Max, who live and work in Central London. Neve has been hanging onto her feelings for William, who left 3 years ago and moved to Los Angeles, when she meets Max out at a bar with her sister. It took me 2 days to read this book and while I was reading it, the characters held me completely captive. I really enjoyed how the story unfolded and I just wanted to continue reading so I could find out what happened! Reading this story brought back a lot of good memories of London and reminded me of the 4 years I spent living and working there.
In describing Max, the author Sarra Manning writes:
What Neve needs is someone to show her the ropes, someone like Celia’s colleague Max. Wicked, shallow, sexy Max. And since he’s such a man-slut, and so not Neve’s type, she certainly won’t fall for him. Because William is the man for her… right?
I think a good actor to play Max if there ever was a movie would be Dan Ewing. I saw a picture of him in the newspaper while I was reading this book and since I don’t watch Home & Away I didn’t know who he was, but now I think he’s perfect! Based on the photos below, do you agree?
I have rated this book 4.5 stars since I liked it a lot although not quite as much as Unsticky (but I did like the fact that Grace and Vaughn from Unsticky are mentioned in this book).
The author Sarra Manning normally writes Young Adult books and these two books are her first two Adult books. She has now announced another Adult book titled It Felt Like a Kiss and you can read a synopsis here on her blog. Apparently it’s coming out on May 9th (my birthday!), so although not holding my breath, I will definitely read it when it comes out.
