Reviews: Winging It (4)
“Fun and lighthearted”
(Paperback)
‘Winging It’ is the third book in the trilogy featuring the character of Saoirse, her husband David and their daughter Anna. Having read and loved the first two books in the trilogy, I had high hopes for ‘Winging It’ and I wasn’t to be disappointed either because it is another cracker of a read and then some. I thoroughly enjoyed reading ‘Winging It’ but more about that in a bit.
As soon as I started reading ‘Winging It’, I felt as though I had been reunited with old friends in the form of Saoirse, David and Anna. To say that reading ‘Winging It’ became addictive is a wee bit of an understatement. I initially picked up the book only intending to read a chapter or two to say that I had made a start but I became so wrapped up in the story that I lost all track of time and just how quickly I was reading. My Kindle wasn’t exactly glued to my hand but it might as well have been because it travelled everywhere with me. I couldn’t bear to miss a single minute of the story. I started chuckling away to myself from fairly early on in the story and I kept chuckling throughout the book. Reading about the shenanigans that Saoirse, David and Anna got up to certainly cheered me up. I soon got to the end of the story and I had to say goodbye to Saoirse, David and Anna. I found ‘Winging It’ to be a delight to read. The story kept me entertained and cheered me up at the same time.
‘Winging It’ is superbly written but I have come to expect nothing less from Emma Murray. Emma has one of those easy going writing styles that is easy to get used to and easy to get along with. In fact reading one of Emma’s books feels more like a chat between friends rather than reading a book. I hope that makes sense. Emma certainly knows how to grab the reader’s attention and draw them into what proves to be a light and fun story. In Saoirse, Emma has created a lovable character, who is impossible to dislike. I love the way in which Emma makes the reader feel as though they are part of the story and at the heart of the action.
In short, I thoroughly enjoyed reading ‘Winging It’ and I would recommend it to other readers. I will certainly be reading more of Emma’s work in the future. The score on the Ginger Book Geek board is a very well deserved 5* out of 5*.
“Deliciously Fun”
(Paperback)
Winging It by Emma Murray is a light-hearted contemporary novel about life and motherhood. It has a wonderful fun tone juxta posed with some serious topics.
The majority of the novel is set in America as the reader witnesses the loneliness of high rise living in New York City. The city seems noisy, dangerous and unfriendly in complete contrast to the friendly suburban life a few miles away.
In the suburbs, friendships are formed. The friendly, welcome from the PTA in America is the complete opposite of the PTA in London which was more of an exclusive club.
Family is important as well as friends. Many are hiding secrets that need to come to light so that hearts can heal and burdens be lifted.
The addition of young children and a cat is a pure delight.
There are family fall-outs, marriage break ups and infertility issues – all are sensitively portrayed by the author.
All the characters are well drawn, likable and realistic. There are some highly amusing scenes especially when young children mispronounce words.
Winging It was a deliciously fun read and just perfect to brighten any day.
I received a free copy. A favourable review was not required. All opinions are my own.
