'Game Over' by Adele Parks


My favourite chick lit author!


The book - heroine Cas has shut her heart to the idea of love, ever since her father walked out on her and her mother when Cas was young. Instead, Cas enjoys a string of meaningless flings, and as soon as it looks like a guy is getting serious, he's out on the curb. The iron-hearted tv producer is quite content to manipulate the love lives of others, especially if it means making a hit of her new TV show - Sex With An Ex.
Problems arise when Cas falls for one of the potential show candidates, and he is unwilling to co-operate with her - a problem that Cas is unfamiliar with when it comes to men!

THE VERDICT? - Not my favourite Adele Parks novel, but that said, definitely still a fun read with a bit of depth. I know the show Cas produced was called Sex With An Ex, but at times I felt her descriptive writing was crass and a tad too erotica/Mills&Boon. Not the type of writing I have previously come to associate with Parks. Overlooking that however, I found an easy and entertaining read, if somewhat predictable.


Hear Adele Parks talk about her book Game Over and where she got her inspiration for the novel:
