As Autumn falls, will love eventually bloom for them all? Or will the secrets of the past turn the season's gold to the chill of winter?"
** What I thought **
This is my first book reviewed within my October theme, and what a book it is. Despite being October, I read this on a recording-breaking October day, with temperatures soaring, sat in the garden surrounded by leaves fluttering to the ground as Autumn descends.
I read Johnson’s A Summer Fling over the summer and loved every page of it. Johnson’s next book An Autumn Crush is no disappointment. I read it in one sitting, which is unusual these days with a book of this thickness. I was lucky to have a day to sit in the glorious sunshine in the garden and soak up every word. Johnson writes some of the best chick lit there is; she lures you in and then immerses you fully. You’ll smile constantly (in fact, I think my cheeks ache from smiling too much) and I did shed a fear tears at the end.
This book is packed full of warm and energetic characters. Guy melted my heart – the perfect gentlemen. I often found myself holding my breath, waiting for something to happen and Johnson does make you wait. She builds up the anticipation perfectly, so that when things start to come together, they do so perfectly. And boy, is it worth waiting for. There are plenty of unexpected twists and turns along the way, but these will lead you to a seriously satisfying ending.
Perfect – get yourself a copy, and immerse yourself immediately!
