My Legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle

So, first it was the inviting colour of its cover that influenced me into buying this book. Second, this was my 2nd book from Mike Gayle. I reviewed about the first one later. So while I have nothing to do, just to wait for maghrib then pray then off to gsc to watch dunia si pari-pari. It's wednesday so mari bazirkan rm6 untuk cerita yang belum pasti kehebatannya. :)

Oh okay, about the book.

Particularly, the story is about Will, an unmotivated English teacher. He actually is still in love with the girl that he thinks, is The One.

While he moves on to whatever life brings him, there are 5 girls whom he seems to holding on to.

There's Martina, the girl he had his one night stand, probably in favour of the broken relationship, who claimed that she's pregnant, and somehow being a little psychotic. And there are also Simon and Aggy. Aggy is his ex girlfriend, and I can't recall anything about Simon. HEHE.

It's Kate that took up almost 60% of his day life. And he'd never met her. It is the phone that had been their connector. They talk to each other everyday. Actually Kate is the former tenant of the apartment Will lives in. They shared everything, and actually they feel they are somehow connected to each other, and they did confess their feelings toward each other, of course they thought they are in love. :P

While at the same time, there's Alice, could call her his best friend. Alice who has always been by his side in every ups and downs. And who listens to every little detail Will will tell about Kate, Simon, Martina and Aggi.

Oh, Alice actually adopted a donkey named Sandy as Will's birthday present!

When things seem to take place, and Will and Kate were ready to make it official, suddenly the past throws them a visit, and things turn to something else.

It was well written in chronological order, and I really love the diary-based novel. It's good, and funny enough.

But it will warm your heart for how life could take turn when we think we have it all planned. :)
