Catherine Deveny

Although this book had mixed reviews I enjoyed it. I'm not sure about the ending but I guess it was hard to find a suitable way to wrap it up.

When Lizzie was younger, she had a fabulous holiday romance with Englishman, Tom. She thought he was her one-and-only, but fate had other ideas. Years later, they are both in stable relationships, with kids and careers. The fate brings them back together again. A frank and honest look at human relationships. Wonderful read.

An excellent book with plenty of encouragement to get started in writing (or whatever you're finding hard to start)
She admits writing is damn hard, but you just have to put excuses aside and START.
“No one writes a book because they want to. People only write a book because they have to.”
“The Gunnas Challenge: Commit to writing for 1 hour a day, 4 days a week for 4 weeks.”

"Say When" by Catherine Deveny is on of the author's earlier books. It is a collection of her columns from the opinion pages of The Age newspaper (before they sacked her for being controversial and rude - pretty sure they were exactly the reasons we enjoyed the column so much, but there you go). Always good for a laugh, "Say When" is honest, witty, funny and an all round good read.
