After five years of dating Lisa is anticipating that all-important question, will you marry me?
Impatient, Lisa decides to take matters into her own hands and propose to Matt, after all it is the 21st Century.
Only she takes it one step further and with the help of her best friend Mandy, she prepares the ultimate proposal.
What she doesn’t know is whether this will be the beginning of her happily-ever- after or the beginning of the end.
My thoughts: I have to admit that I am not usually a fan of short stories as I find they often lack sufficient detail that a longer novel contains. This however has blown my theory clean out of the water. For the idea of the book it perfectly suited the shorter format.
Lisa is expecting, after 5 year long relationship with boyfriend Matt, that when he announces he is taking her out for a slap up meal at a posh venue he will obviously be planning to propose. She shares her expectations with her work colleagues and on returning to work the following day Lisa has to admit to best friend Mandy that she got it all wrong and she is still waiting for the magical moment to happen. Until Mandy unwittingly plants the seed of an idea in Lisa's head...
The humour is well written into Lisa's ensuing plan to become Matt's forever Mrs Right. I didn't know whether to get on board with her plan or cringe with embarrassment on her behalf should Matt decide not to be part of her plans.
No spoilers here, but I strongly recommend this book if you want a quick, funny read. As I say, not my usual format but a huge hit with me.
