Relation Toward Books Here's Looking at You

In essence it's an ugly duckling tale. Our heroine Aureliana returns to school after fifteen years for a reunion. School doesn't hold happy memories for her, as being a roly poly Italian (known as the Italian Galleon), and always armed with a Tupperware full of pungent Mediterranean food, she was bullied incessantly throughout her years there. Now in her 30s, Aureliana wants to put the past behind her once and for all and face up to the bullies who made her life hell. But she is much-changed from the girl she once was - all curves and because I'm worth it hair - and no one recognises her when she arrives. Losing her bottle, she backs out on her plan for revenge and slinks off, hoping never to be reminded of her years at school again. But fate gets in the way, and after the reunion her path keeps crossing with James - major hunk and Aureliana's major crush back at school. But alas, as a cronie to the bullies, Aureliana to this day believes that his beautiful exterior hides an ugly interior. As they continue to cross paths a love/hate relationship ensues until eventually something shifts, and they both start to discover what the person underneath is really like... Full of Mhairi's trademark laugh out loud humour, Here's Looking At You is a novel about facing your demons and being happy with who you really are.

Critique Regarding Books Here's Looking at You

This book had to have been quite a challenge to write. I mean, not only did McFarlane undertake to convey the reality of someone bullied mercilessly in school who carries that trauma well into adulthood, but she undertook at the same time to redeem the centrally traumatic person involved and make him the love interest. That is a near-insurmountable task and I'm happy to report that, at least for me, she pulled it off beautifully.It helps that while they both have some distance from the events

Heres Looking at You was Mhairi McFarlanes 2013 romance novel now having read, I have thus completed my pillaging of her backlist and am now sitting with the rest of the bandwagon, waiting for information on her little-known planned February 2019 release. *le sigh*So I didnt LOVE my last Mhairi read, before this one, as much as Id hoped to Whos That Girl certainly didnt leave a bad taste in my mouth (um. Its Mhairi McFarlane, I think its impossible for her to write a bad book?) but truth be

I can't really express my views on this book in a rating, so I'll try for a review instead. (some spoilers ahead)This is the second book I've read by Mhairi McFarlane, and I only kept reading, because I liked the first one so much. This author really knows how to create rich characters and how to develop them. This can mean that I struggle with the beginning of the book, because the characters haven't gone through that development yet and aren't yet that likeable. They fuck up. A lot. And since

Super catchy and so much fun (I had to put it down on the plane because there were literal lols!). This would mean at least 4 stars but I don't know if I can give that. This is after all the story about a woman falling in love with the man who bullied her in high school now that she's not fat anymore. On the other hand, I was surprised by how well that was handled (YMMV a lot here of course). Really, it's not a typical makeover story and the severity of the bullying isn't glossed over. But on

Is there a certain point where we should stop the Pride and Prejudice trope books? Heck NO! This book serves to prove that you cannot have too much of a good thing. I loved the new take on this old classic. Its probably one of my most favorite re-write versions of it. It was funny and witty and easy to enjoy. I liked the flow and was satisfied with the ending. Good, fun book overall.

Note - this is a revised review and not the original. I wrote my first review of this after finishing it in a rage at the way Mills&Boon books were used in the story, and decided not to grade the book because I knew that my view was extremely coloured as a result. Calm reflection and the urging of several fellow M&B authors made me get in touch with the author directly to express my concerns. I have to say, she not only took my concerns seriously, but took the time to express her own

My fat fingers deleted my very recent 4.37 review. Loved this, wish the heroine was more self-actualized, and adore the hero.
