Acquire Today The Image Of You Assembled By Adele Parks Supplied As Audiobook

reading

Unfortunately I suspected the “twist” about a third of the way in and continued reading purely to see if I was right.
The ending. Not for me this one, sorry Mmm, an interesting enough read but not particularly convincing or suspenseful, I'd worked out the twist by chapterand there were! I therefore read the rest of the book looking for things that would disprove my theory or to back it up.


It's hard to say much without spoilers but I'm not sure how Nick got himself into the situation he found himself in seemed far fetched and also why on earth HE felt the need to apologise to his fiancée at the end of the book after everything that happened.
The ending of the book at the fundraising event also seemed ludicrously unbelievable, especially if Hal had any inkling of what had happened previously.


I've not enjoyed the last two Adele Parks books as much as I've enjoyed earlier books by her, I need to work out if it is her who has changed or me, . . ! This is my first Adele Parks book and I loved it! What a brilliant book didnt get much time to read it in the first few days but Ive devoured it really quickly!
What an amazing and unusual twist dont want to say more as I dont want to spoil it but WOW I never saw that coming!!
Will deffo be on the hunt for her books moving forward! Fully recommend x Anna and Zoe are twins.
Identical in appearances but polar opposites in personality, Their bond is so special that nothing can tear them apart, Until, Anna meets Nick. Anna thinks Nick is perfect but Zoe believes him to be a liar and sets out to prove it,
We see Anna and Nick meeting and their ensuing relationship, Then we have the complication of Zoe thrown in,
I did like the characters in this, Anna, Zoe and Nick are very strong characters and for the most part, likeable, There were times when I get frustrated with them, some of the secrets they keep from each other are pointless and so minuscule, at times they come across extremely childlike.
This aside, I did enjoy reading their story and the developments in their lives, Audibly gasped at the big reveal, Well played, Adele Parks Its always good to read Adele Parks books when you want to escape life and The Image of You was no different.


It all starts with Anna joining a dating website to find the man of her dreams, This romantic and lovely woman in her early thirties has come to accept that she will never find him if she waits for their eyes to meet across a crowded room.
Anna has recently moved to London and as youd expect shes had her heartbroken but shes also across the Atlantic from her family, her parents and her twin sister Zoe.
The girls names designed to bookend the alphabet also have entirely different personalities, Zoe isnt sweet and romantic, shes a woman who parties hard, is flirty and unpredictable, Zoe is however on hand to make sure that Annas profile is designed to meet someone suitable, not someone who will hurt her.


Anna meets Nick, a highflying banker who joined the site to worm his way into places other than a girls heart.
Nick isnt looking for love, hes looking for fun, But he meets up with Anna and finds that sometimes a wholesome woman is better than his normal type,

So far so simple, Girl meets boy. Boy likes girl but only time will tell whether he is going to be the womanising cheat that Anna is keen to avoid.
And then Zoe visits London and we find out what she makes of the relationship,

This was a compulsive read and so even though I guessed which direction the story was going in, I was still doubting myself until all

was revealed.
The twins characters whilst overtly stereotypical at the outset became more nuanced the further through the book you read so although Anna was way too sweet and perfect for my taste and Zoe far too wild, there was a proper backstory to explain their extremes.
I think it is impossible for someone who isnt an identical twin to be fascinated by this closest of all the genetic relationships, after all they are closer to each other in this respect than they are to their parents, or children if they have them.
This alone makes the story a great premise and as it progresses this relationship is the one at the heart,

I also enjoyed the realistic portrayal of internet dating, The different aims of the people who use it in this consumer society is demonstrated in the early scenes which doesnt forget the assumptions made by others about those who choose this method to find a partner.


Ultimately this is a book about relationships, not just romantic but between siblings, parents and workmates, Nicks scenes with his mates and his colleagues all had an authenticity about them which are often rare in womens fiction,

The Image of You kept me turning the pages, of course to find out how it all ends, thats a given, but the author kept me interested in these people who I maybe would avoid in real life but who fascinated with throughout the book.

Adele Parks your books just keep getting better and better!

Image of You starts slowly with a lovely romance for Anna, plenty of emotion, empathy, and love.
Then we meet Annas twin sister Zoe the yin to Annas Yang as stated by the author, and the story takes off with plenty of deceit, lies, and drama all holding us in suspense and keeping us intrigue until the final page.


The book has been brilliantly written, It is a good pageturner with no predictability to how it would end! The mood was both light and dark, with plenty of highs and lows.


The descriptions of all the characters were superb, dear Anna, she was so kind and would do anything for anyone and all she did was fall in love.
Zoe had a dark manipulative way, she even cast a spell on Nick, who was a confident, almost arrogant man about town, who fell in love.
I loved the unusual plot with its extraordinary twists,

This book totally and utterly drew me in and kept me hooked the whole way through, I really enjoyed it and highly recommend it to all who love domestic thrillers, I now look forward to reading more of Adele Parks books in the future, .
