The State We're In | Adele Parks
3 posts | 5 read
THE STATE WE'RE IN is the stunning, emotionally powerful novel from Sunday Times bestselling author Adele Parks. What are the odds that the stranger sitting next to you on a plane is destined to change your life? Especially when they appear to be your opposite in every way. She's a life-long optimist, looking for her soul mate in every man she meets; he's a resolute cynic - cruel experience has taught him never to put his faith in anyone. People can surprise you. In the time it takes to fly from London to Chicago, each finds something in the other that they didn't even realise they needed. Their pasts are such that they can never make one another happy and it's when they get off the plane that their true journey begins...

I whizzed through this and found it sweet and compelling, though a little too much ‘tell‘ rather than ‘show‘...that was for the first 90% anyway.
The ending for me jarred with the rest of the book. Without giving it away, it felt unnecessary, clichéd and unoriginal.
This was my first book by the author but I‘m not sure I‘ll read bother now. I‘m not sure whether I‘ve been half a star too generous in my rating either!

Meet 35 year old Jo who is boarding a plane to stop her exes wedding and throw in commitment phobe Dean who has just visited his dying father. It sounds like a total chick lit book but it‘s more than that. This is such a cute story that made me laugh, a lot, and made me feel a bit sad in a hopeful way. Adele parks once again has not disappointed.
