Now if you’re a regular reader then you know my hatred of romance and you can tell from the title that there will be some romance in this book, but it’s not just about that. But now I know, it’s Amber!Īlthough I wished I could’ve read about her hanging out with her friends Evie and Lottie I also loved reading about her spending the summer at this American camp – I wanted to be there hanging out with Winnie, bitching about the cheerleaders, gossiping about Kyle, skyping Evie and Lottie… You can’t help but fall in love with Bourne’s characters, especially so in ‘How Hard Can Love Be’. You know when people ask which book character you wish were real? Although I read a lot I never particularly had an answer. I loved how angry she got at her Mum and her ‘step-dad’, how sarcastic she was (I can totally relate) and how honest she was. I loved reading from her point of view of everything. Right from the start when she was getting on the plane while she was drunk right through to the end. Although she’s going to be working she’s hoping to spend some quality time with her Mum who she hasn’t seen in ages but unfortunately, things don’t quite go to plan…Īmber is honestly one of the funniest characters I’ve read about. In ‘How Hard Can Love Be’, Amber gets on a plane and is off to America for a month to help out at a summer camp with her Mum and her infuriating new step-dad. So this book is told from the point of view of Amber, a character we met in ‘Am I Normal Yet’ who I was a fan of. I guess that already sets up the review so you know what’s coming: It’s a positive review! I think that’s recently changed as I definitely consider myself a fan and I’m looking forward to seeing what she’s written next.

If you read my review of ‘Am I Normal Yet’ then I said something along the lines of how I enjoyed Holly Bourne’s work but never really considered myself a fan or kept up with what she was writing.
