Fourteen Days Later - Review/Giveaway

Oh you’re gonna love this! I was up snickering late into the night and these days my sleep is precious. Chic-lit wrought with humor and a main character whose life’s adventures could very believably happen to me on any given day. I immediately identified with Helen and loved her.

Fourteen Days Later was a quick fun read for me and just what I needed to perk up my end of the summer blahs. If you don’t laugh at the misfortune of ending up walking Pussy the mundane Golden whose sudden case of mudbutt unleashes a giggle fest of events then you might as well keep sucking your lemons. There is no hope for you. And that’s just in the first few pages!

Author Sibel Hodge has dual British/Turkish Cypriot nationality and divides her time between Hertfordshire and North Cyprus. Her first romantic-comedy novel, Fourteen Days Later, was shortlisted for the Harry Bowling Prize 2008 and received a Highly Commended by the Yeovil Literary Prize 2009. My Perfect Wedding is the sequel to Fourteen Days Later, although it can be read as a standalone novel. For more information on Sibel, or her other authored works you can visit: http://www.sibelhodge.com/

She provided the following blurb from her novel Fourteen Days Later:

When accident-prone Helen Grey finds a thong stuffed into the pocket of her boyfriend's best work trousers, it's time for her to move on. His excuse that he needed to dust the photocopier and just thought that it was a rag sounds like a lame excuse.


Helen's life is propelled in an unexpected direction after her best friend, Ayshe, sets her a fourteen-day, life-changing challenge. Helen receives a task everyday which she must complete without question. The tasks are designed to build her confidence and boost her self-esteem but all they seem to do is push her closer to Ayshe's brother, Kalem.


How will Kalem and Helen get together when she's too foolish to realize that she loves him? How can he fall for her when he is too busy falling prey to her mishaps and too in love with his own perfect girlfriend? How will Kalem's Turkish Cypriot family react when they find out?


Is it really possible to change your life in fourteen days?

I don't have a favorite genre. I read chic lit, romance, mystery, paranormal, fantasy, young adult---basically if it has a good story line, I'll read it!
