This book starts with a great premise. Two best friends. One boy, one girl. Girl gets dumped by scum-bag boyfriend of seven years. Boy is sick of being the one to pick up the pieces. Tells girl he loves her and has a great idea. They will play a game called Alphabet Weekends where each weekend they alternate a letter and choose an activity to eventually get girl to fall in love with him.
Good premise.
Even good book.
It would have even better book if the author just stuck to these two main characters, Natalie and Tom.
Instead she writes about all these other characters and relationships and doesn't elaborate on the true premise of the book, Alphabet Weekends.
I ended up liking the book, and loved the fact that it was British (it's been a while since I read a good British Chick Lit book).

This book was really enjoyable and hard to put down. Three stories were going on in one, but the biggest and most important was the story of Tom and Natalie. The characters were developed well, but sometimes it was easy to get caught up in other characters besides Tom and Natalie. The weekends from A to Z were fun to figure out, but I thought some lacked pizaz. Altogether I really enjoyed this book.

I thought this was a very creative idea for a love story. Two people who have been friends most of their lives decide to test their relationship by engaging in different activities together starting with different letters of the alphabet. I loved watching how this relationship developed. But, there's more than the love story between Natalie and Tom to this book. There's also a cast of family and friends that have their own problems to contend with. At times the number of characters became distracting, but it did add depth to the book.

This book was a surprising joy!! I am keeping it because I really enjoyed it. May pass on in future. I really liked it. I wasnt sure I would, since it is in England and written with English terminology that the USA doesnt use I wasnt sure I would like, but really enjoyed!

I found this engaging, entertaining, and witty. It even inspired creativity in "dating" my husband - 26 consecutive dates working through the alphabet. Three couples are tracked through the book, though the main storyline focuses on a thirty-something who is just realizing what love is about.
