I’m excited to say I am part of the book tour for Two Scoops, Too Much by Terri Boas on behalf of Rachel’s Random Resources. Thanks to Rachel and Terri Boas for my copy of the book to take part today. All views expressed are my own and not influenced in any way.
Three’s a crowd, but not when it comes to best mates, Briony, Natalie and Lauren. As they tipsily toast the future down their favourite local, the Red Lion, the girls have never felt closer.
For Briony and Lauren at least, being intimate friends has taken on a whole new meaning. But as things between them heat up, does that mean they’ll need to put a label on their relationship?
And will their provocative plot to wreak revenge on Briony’s devious ex-lover, Mani, work out, or succeed only in putting her professional reputation on the line?
Meanwhile, Natalie’s affair with her sexy spin instructor, Jason, is now firmly behind her, and she is determined to keep the sparks flying with her loyal hubby, Martin. That is until a girls’ trip to a swanky London hotel reveals her head and her heart are still at dangerous odds; an epiphany that will have dire consequences.
As the friends unite in the face of an unbearable tragedy, they’ll need each other – and ice cream – more than ever before . . .
Two Scoops, Too Much is the sequel to Terri Boas’s debut book, Two Scoops, Not Three. I haven’t read the first one. The cover and synopsis really made me want to read Two Scoops, Too Much. As I realised it was a sequel I did hope I would enjoy it without reading the first. I had no issues reading it as a standalone, Terri Boas does integrate the events of the first book in a way that filled in a few details. I like this, it stops me getting confused and makes for a terrific reading experience.
Natalie, Briony and Lauren are three best friends. Natalie is attempting to move on from her affair with her personal trainer. She is determined to fix her marriage to Martin but it’s hitting a few bumps along the way. Briony and Lauren have realised that there is more than friendship between them, so decide to throw themselves into a romantic relationship. These three women are faced with unexpected tragedy and it makes their bond indestructible.
I sat down to read a little bit one evening and I found myself swept into Natalie, Briony and Lauren’s world. After a few chapters I found I was so comfortable, as if I was with my friends. It is a story that has something for everyone. It brings some serious issues and it also includes a lot of humour, lightness and just so much love too.
Terri Boas does deal with some serious issues as I said and she incorporates them very delicately and respectfully into the story. I loved the friendship between them all, it reminded me of how I can call on my best friend no matter what the time is, that is true friendship and Terri Boas has perfectly replicated that in Two Scoops, Too Much.
A fast-paced book which always has something happening. Characters you wish were your real friends who are a positive friendship example too. A read that’s really enjoyable and fun as well
