It's Not Me, It's You by Mhairi McFarlane + a Giveaway

Hi, all! Today I'm a stop on the TLC book tour for Mhairi McFarlane's latest, It's Not Me, It's You. Thanks to the publisher I'm able to offer up one copy in a giveaway. Be sure to read through to the end to enter.

Paul and Delia have been together for ten years. They're a great pair - Delia knows it and she's ready to make it official. But it appears Paul is anything but ready to settle down. Delia pops the question herself getting a less than enthusiastic yes from Paul and quick follow up of a text meant for his girl on the side. 

Uh oh. 

With her whole life up in the air, Delia knows she's got some decisions to make. And none of them are going to be easy. 

Ha! Delia's life changing events are hopefully above and beyond what most of us will ever face but I'd bet not a single one of us is totally immune to upheaval or Delia herself. Yes, she's a character who's corner you'll want to be in. She's feisty and funny, though her certainty that she'll forgive Paul early on is a bit... frustrating. Personally, reconciliation would not be on the table were it me. (Don't worry, it's not spoilers to say this. She admits it EARLY on.)

Normally a book like this could be uncomfortable, especially if you're facing some of the same issues Delia is faced with. I'd have to say in this case I'd recommend diving into this one even if (or especially if) you feel like your whole life is filled with uncertainty. Delia will make you smile! She might even make you laugh out loud. A lot.

McFarlane excels at awkward. Awkward situations. Awkward conflict. Awkward humor. Wait, the humor isn't ALL awkward. But it is all funny. And it's exactly that combination of awkward and funny that makes It's Not Me, It's You feel real. There's a charm to her writing that not all of the comparable genre reads truly capture. It means the difference between liking a read like this and LOVING a read like this. And let's be clear, I LOVED It's Not Me, It's You.

Rating: 4.5/5
