Dorothy Koomson - Marshmallows for breakfast

review by Maggie Perkovic on show
This i suppose falls into the chick lit category, it is also a Richard and Judy bestseller in 2007.
The main character kendra returns to England after a traumatic experience in Australia.She rents a flat from Kyle a separated father with six year old twins and looks forward to a new job and a fresh start in life, however the twins Summer and jaxon have other ideas and more or less adopt her as their new mother while their own is away in New York. Without realising it she becomes an important part of their lives and is happy until the man who caused her such grief in Australia comes into her life again and she suffers a near enough breakdown. I read on intrigued to find what is going to happen, but the author irritates who over dramatic descriptions and also because she seems to set herself up as an advisor to everyone with opions on every problem except her own obviously!!!.That she is wonderful with the children is a bonus especially when their mother reappears and we find out actually why she deserted them, but Kendra herself is not a heroine i could like particularly!!!! Engrossing in parts!!!
