Talking to Addison
Jenny Colgan
December seems to be the month for light reading, as witnessed by the sheer amount of chick-lit and repeat-reads in this month’s stack. Talking to Addison is a selection from the former category, and was….readable, and better than Citizen Girl, at least.
It’s about a young English woman named Holly, who feels a bit left behind as all her friends have jobs which actually pay them a decent wage, while she, despite a university degree, is still selling flowers, working part time, and getting beat up by teenagers who also do her job.
She moves into a shared apartment with some friends, and, typically of a character in a chick-lit novel, falls in love with the Mysterious Geek Roommate Who Lives Behind Closed doors. He is the Addison of the title - computer programmer, asocial, Star Trek fan. Holly is none of those things, but determined to bring Addison out of his shell, despite the fact that someone else is flirting with her. . .sort of.
It was enjoyable in a mind-candy brain-fluff kind of way. Good bathtub book.
