It's Not Me, It's You by Mhairi McFarlane
3.0

So I was a bit unsure about whether or not to rate this three or four stars. I liked it, it was an enjoyable read, but I didn't have the same feeling as when I read Mhairi's other books where I really wanted to get to the end.
Delia was a great character, as was her best friend Emma and her friend the Naan. Adam was equal parts intriguing and frustrating and I just disliked Paul.
Finding out your boyfriend/fiancé of a few hours has been sleeping with someone else would be horrible. I just couldn't contemplate how she could be in two minds about forgiving him for most of the book. I mean, once a cheater always a cheater right? And Delia's job, I found it kind of hard to follow at times. Although I did enjoy the idea and illustrations behind the fox comics. The ending was kind of predictable, which I don't mind in books, but I just felt something was missing.
I don't know, I enjoyed this book but I wasn't as into it as her other books.
