Guys if you like 'the Office', this is for you too (no really, just overlook the cover) By Miriam Sometimes it is such a shame that books have to be marketed for special target groups. Because there are books that exceed the limits of the genre. `It's not me it's you' is such a book. Marketed as chicklit it will likely end up on the bookshelf of women and then a particular group of women. This is sad because this book is in all sense and purposes a book for a much wider audience. This is not just a love story this is a comedy of manners. With a sharp eye, McFarlane shows us all the weaknesses of our liberal capitalistic society, `society' and `capitalistic' being the operative words. The main character operates in both worlds: the public and the private sector. But I'm doing this all wrong. This is boring and if the book is one (or many) thing: it is exciting, vibrant, sharp, imaginative.This is a story about Delia who discovers on the night she proposes to her boyfriend, that he is cheating. Until then Delia inhabited a very safe world: nice house, nice but boring job and very nice boyfriend. Not all is well because working at the counsel means working with a lot of unimaginative stuff and sometimes insufferable people, like Ann.`Ann's policing of the office fridge was frightening. Despite being post-menopausal, she decanted her semi skimmed into a plain container and labelled it `BREAST MILK' to ward off thieves.If you have ever been in an office, or shared a fridge you know the shenanigans it can involve. It's these kinds of observations that make this book great. With one brushstroke we know the atmosphere in the office and yet it transcends this specific place. That's just inventive writing!To escape her cheating boyfriend and her own confusion she goes to stay with her friend Emma in London. There she lands a job with a shady PR company: `Twist&Shout' (what's in a name...) and an even shadier boss: Kurt. There she discovers that there are worse things than boredom: selfishness in the extreme, a world in which the `truth' is a story that you make up and that gives the most productive outcome, a world full of restaurants that give you a list of `values and mission statements' instead of a menu, in which food is something to be seen not eaten.Next to that there is the story about romantic love. Delia has to figure out what for her is most important in a relationship: is it comfort, the things you got used to but are bit flawed? Is one indiscretion an absolute no no, or are there worse things than that? I thought these kind of deliberations about love as comfort and the things you are used to, were fresh and very believable. You don't find them very often in romantic fiction. Speaking of the first love, I must say something about the male characters and Paul in particular.As in her previous books McFarlane draws very believable male characters. I thought her male characters are better drawn than her female characters: they have edges that the female characters lack. Paul is not a despicable human being, just a bit lazy, a bit egotistic, a bit lost. But he loves Delia and wants a life with her. If that is enough for Delia. We'll see.Then there is the other kind of romantic love: the honest one. That can be a little confronting at times and not a little bit annoying most of the times. But it is honest and that must count for something too. That's the choice Delia has to make: comfort or honesty.Finally I must say something about Ralfph, Delia's brother. He is a nerd who works at a chipshop. He loves computer games and cakes in equal measures. He is lovely. That is a very melodious word for a very melodious, big man. I looked forward to his interactions with his sister. Everyone who ever met a couch-loving, junk food eating computer nerd must take to Ralph.

By camille flores Why did I want to read this book?I was really curious about how Delia, the main character, recovers from such a devastating discovery that her boyfriend of ten years was sleeping with another woman. It’s just an huge turn of event in her life and I wanted to read about her journey. What worked for me?It’s always great to read about a journey to self-discovery, or in this case, a journey of self-re-discovery. For Delia, who has built her life around her relationship with boyfriend, Paul, it was like being thrown into a deep pool when you don’t even know how to swim, when she found out Paul was having an affair. There was this shock in the beginning, never understanding how she found herself in that situation when she didn’t see it coming (not in a million years), and then disbelief, and then being overcome with wanting to survive, learning to flap her arms in order to stay above water, and finally finding her ‘footing’ and learning how to float and swim back to the edge of the deep pool. I was with her every step of the way, cheering her on, hurting with her when the pain gets a little too much, and just feeling triumphant when she succeeds.This was a journey of self-discovery and what a journey it was. I think the pacing was just great. Delia finds herself having to get used to all these changes and I appreciate that the author didn’t magically erased all emotions that Delia had for Paul because getting over such a long-time relationship couldn’t have been that black-and-white. And I think this was a very realistic portrayal.I really love Delia’s character. She’s fun and smart and I really love how she thinks about her decisions and her feelings. So many of her points of view about everything just echoes with me right on. The other characters were also really interesting, especially Adam (*swoons* clue: the annoyingly handsome journalist) and even Paul, despite his infidelity. They’re all very multi-dimensional characters and this makes the story much richer. What did not work for me?I wouldn’t exactly say that it didn’t work for me but I had difficulty identifying with some of the British humor (I’m guessing) and British cultural references within the book although in general, it didn’t take away much from my enjoyment of the story. My over-all take on it?This was such a wonderful and entertaining story of a woman trying to re-discover herself after a ten-year relationship, what it means to be herself again without having that ‘other’ person factoring in to every aspect of your life. You’ll enjoy her adventures in friendships, work, and even in her love life. Try out this book, you guys.Disclaimer: I received an eARC of this book from the author/publisher in exchange for an honest review. Yes, these are my honest and personal thoughts on this book.

I received a copy of It’s Not Me, It’s You by Mhairi McFarlane in exchange for an honest review.Delia Moss’ life was turned upside down when she discovered her boyfriend was sleeping with someone else. Absolutely shocked she thought she was to blame, but they’ve been together for so long and they loved each other didn’t they? She actually proposed to him, thinking they were so solid and they were perfect for each other!! In an attempt to give herself some time to figure things out, she moves to London for an extended visit to her best friend. Delia finds a job, and slowly starts building a life for herself that doesn’t revolve around Paul and slowly starts picking up the pieces of her shattered heart and finds herself in a most unlikely pickle with her new boss. Added to that complications abound when a reporter starts to seemingly turn up everywhere he’s not wanted. This was a long book but I was hooked from the get-go and it was so worth it. Delia was suitably a very confused character, and what can I say but I’ve lived a piece of Delia’s life to some degree, so to me, and maybe lots of others, this book would be very relatable, the author does a great job of painting a very vivid picture of the emotions and thoughts that anyone on the receiving end of infidelity would face. The most unlikely character slowly became my favorite, maybe sometimes more than Delia, and how could anyone not. This is my first read from Mhairi McFarlane and it definitely won’t be my last, I like her style.http://www.karmaforlifechick.com/book-review-its-not-me-its-you-by-mhairi-mcfarlane/#.VFe_IOktBMs
