- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I bought this book as it was only £2.80 on Amazon and it had great customer reviews. It was a real surprise to open the book and start reading as it was pretty bad from page 1. How can so many people give 5 stars to something that has no real characters? I didn't empathise with any character in it. It's meant to be a bit of a crime novel (even though the crime happened before the events of the first chapter), but there's just no suspense.It might be of interest to anyone who reads chick-lit and wants something a little different(?), but it would be best for more people to keep well away.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The Ice Cream Girls is another excellent read from Dorothy Koomson. It tells the story of how a series of innocent decisions have profound ramifications on the lives of Poppy and Serena and their families.The story is told in the first person alternating between Serena and Poppy,"The Ice Cream Girls" recounting the series of events that led to a tragic one that changed the course of their lives.This is one book where you can't read the back page to find out whodunit because you are engrossed right from the first page;and on the last page you come away feeling, "I didn't see that coming".I would highly recommend this book, however be warned that you may find some of the events sad and disturbing and if you are the teary type, get a tissue.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A good read for a journey on the Tube or by train, interesting plot, and writing style, good ending. Nicely written male characters. Now I am interested what else did Dorothy Koomson had written? Just saw her new book on the billboard today - I guess will just go and buy it!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I really enjoyed this book. I expected to because I've enjoyed Ms Koomson's previous books but this one was a bit different to the rest as it had the whodunit element to it without making it too much of a crime novel. So I actually enjoyed it more because it surprised me.It kept me guessing right to the end - I guessed one of the minor twists early on but had absolutely no idea who did it until about ten pages before it was revealed. And once the book ended it left me with a good feeling but also with questions about what happens next which I quite like in a book because it lets me make my own mind up.. I suspect there won't be a sequel but there is possibly room for one.Very impressed with this book
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5At only eighteen years of age, Poppy and Serena were the only witnesses to a tragic event. Amid heated public debate and scrutiny, the two glamorous teens were dubbed 'The Ice Cream Girls' by the press and forced to go their separate ways and to lead very different lives. Twenty years later, Poppy is keen to set the record straight about what really happened, while married mother-of-two Serena wants no one in her present to find out about her past. But some secrets will not stay buried - and if theirs is revealed, their lives will start to unravel all over again ...My Thoughts:I had read a DK book ages ago for book group and I didn’t enjoy it all. When I saw that ‘The Ice Cream Girls’ had been adapted for television I thought I would give it ago.I couldn’t believe that I was reading a book by the same author. This book was so different. It was gritty and full of suspense and really was a page turner. No chick lit in sight with this one. The story is told by both Poppy and Serena and what happens when they fall for the boyfriend from hell. I loved both girls and wanted for both of them to have an outcome they deserved. What I didn’t guess was the ending, not until the last pages which for me is a sign of a good book.I would highly recommend this book and would say it can be classed as a page truning thriller and would perhaps seek out more books by this author.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5So time to write my review. I am not sure what to write of this book. It was a quick read. There are 2 main characters and like most I felt more for Poppy who we find out is less strong as Serena. As always with Dorothy Koomson she has a way with words that really pulls you in. Maybe I am a bit too smart but after a while I knew who had really killed the teacher. What was a suprise is how the author ended it. I liked it.So all in all a very good book. Can't wait for her next book to come out!
