Relight My Fire

Ruth Parker 

This surprised me! I picked of up thinking I knew what was going to happen. Instead it was a journey through a year of hard times within a couple, who try to spice up their relationship and keep the fire burning - or relight it, as the title suggests.

I liked the characters, all of them flawed, all of them doing silly things. But they were easy to forgive and I found myself rooting for everything ti sort itself pretty early on. It was a believable portrayal of family life and the problems couples face as times go on. 

Thank you for a nice, enjoyable read!

Sometimes you read a book that gets you more and more excited by each sentence as the end approaches, and then you turn the page and find a blank one. You keep going back and forward with that single sheet of paper until your brain realises the book is over. Then you get up, slowly stepping away from the book and you start shouting

NO!
NO!
NONONONONO!
NNNNNOOOOOOOOO!
NO NO NO NO NO!
NO!
NO!
NO!
NO!
NO NO NO NO NO No No No no no no no...

while walking all crazy and finish off on your knees completely defeated while you're voice fades away.

 no...

But suddenly, a little smile starts to form in your mouth and it gets bigger and bigger. You can't control it. And that's when you realise you read a good book. No, that's wrong! You read a GREAT book! You aren't upset because how it ended you are upset because there aren't any more stories to read.

This is how I felt after reading Relight My Fire, minus the kneeling part, but I was close to doing it. Each of the characters has their unique personalities that can make you laugh, fall in love, smile, face-palm, and sometimes, a strong will to slap off their faces.

For reads who don't know  The List:
This book is funny, filled with contemporary references, and a delight to read. It's a sequel, happens 5 years after the first one, but you can read it on its own. Every detail from the last book that you need to know is presented to you, although there are a couple of references that don't matter for this story but connect with The List. It's not 50 Shades of Grey but some sexy scenes can be descriptive, so just be prepared for that.

For reads who also love The List:
The book doesn't disappoint. Phoebe is still Phoebe with her sassiness and disastrous way. And now we get to see Oliver and Phoebe as a real couple as well as parents. There are new characters to love and to hate and also the return of old "friends". If you loved Phoebe's adventures in The List wait until you read the next ones. They are good!
