描述
Being Bridey is the witty debut novel from Mike Newton. Bursting with romance and humour, the story twists and turns, taking the reader on a delightful journey through the highs and lows of a young woman's search for love.
Being Bridey is the first of two books about Bridey Barnes, a 26 year old architect who is desperate for love, but is also desperately afraid of it. Every time a man gets too serious, she ends the relationship, fearing that getting married will prevent her from experiencing more of what life has to offer. That is until she meets Simon, an artist whose career is in decline. He is twenty years older than her and is looking for inspiration; while she is looking to experience something new and deliciously exciting. Bridey's work takes her on a business trip to Berlin where she discovers her dominant side. After returning to London, she shows Simon how to paint her... in more ways than one.
Bridey establishes a connection with Simon, but everything is not what it seems as events take an unexpected turn, leaving both Simon and Bridey re-evaluating their relationship. Things become further complicated as Toby, a wealthy and charismatic young businessman starts to turn Bridey's head.
Will Bridey find the love of her life? Who will it be and can she overcome her fear of commitment? The story keeps the reader guessing right up to a heart warming ending that is sure to have everyone reaching for the tissues.

Best Review
I really enjoyed this book and it is easily a 5 star read. It is one of the funniest romantic books I have read in a long time. The characters are fantastic and the story is enjoyable at so many levels. Some of the situations are downright hilarious and had me wiping my eyes so I could keep reading. I identified with Bridey so much that I found myself wishing I was Bridey (and wanting all her friends as well). The book is an exciting roller-coaster of emotions, that made me laugh and cry all the way to the end. This book has all the right ingredients for a great story and all in the right quantities... not too hot, not too heavy, but just enough spice to leave you licking your lips and wanting more. ~ Karyn Humphrys
