5. The C Word by Lisa LynchLisa Lynch, author of blog Alright Tit, released memoir The C Word in April. The book documents Lisa's life after discovering that, at just 28, she had breast cancer. The book is written in such a witty way, with Lisa's hilarious and wonderful personality shining through, and makes you feel even closer to her as she shares her stories, from the beginning and through to treatment. Lisa is one brave and inspiring lady!
4. The Hating Game by Talli RolandThe Hating Game is Talli Roland's recently-released debut; an original and funny tale of strict maneater Mattie Johns, who signs up to a reality dating show to earn money to save her flagging business. However, there's a catch. This isn't any regular dating show. Not when all of the contestants are your exes, anyway - especially if they want revenge...
3. The (Im)Perfect Girlfriend by Lucy-Ann HolmesFollowing on from Lucy-Anne's novel 50 Ways to Find a Lover, in which actress Sarah Sargeant sets out to find Mr Right, is The (Im)Perfect Girlfriend. Sarah's back, and she's happy with her seemingly perfect new man. He's even talking about kids. But when she discovers a photo of his ex in his Filofax just as she's due to fly to LA, Sarah can't help but wonder if he's right after all...
2. Getting Over Mr Right by Chrissie ManbyOne of the funniest books of the year has to be Getting Over Mr Right. Chrissie Manby is well-known for her great stories but this is the best so far! Ashleigh is devastated when she's dumped (via Facebook) by perfect man Michael. But rather than get over it, Ashleigh's determined to get him back. The problem here? Michael thinks it's over for good. And when he gets another girlfriend, things start to take a turn for the worse. Ashleigh is swiftly turning into a stalker ex who'll do anything to win her man back. And we mean ANYTHING.
And at number one...
1. Katy Carter Wants a Hero by Ruth SabertonThere's no doubt about it - the top spot just has to go to Ruth Saberton's Katy Carter! The novel by Ruth (who writes books for Little Black Dress under the name Jessica Fox), was released in April. Heroine Katy is far from perfect but that doesn't mean she can't dream about her very own charming hero. A hero that she writes about, too - usually in the back of kids' exercise books. Teacher Katy is a wannabe writer in love with her own prince who comes in the form of high-flying banker James. But when a dinner turns into a complete disaster, Katy's promptly dumped. With no home to return to, Katy sets off on an unexpected adventure that not only involves hilarious mishaps, but sends her to the hero she really deserves.
Happy New Year!
