Bubblegum and Blazers

Bubblegum and Blazers

Isabella May

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

When Ali, Blake, Charlotte, and Grant sign contracts to star in a Back to School reality TV show, LOVE is the very last thing on their minds: Ali flies to the UK from New Zealand, intrigued by the golden opportunity to advance her amateur social media influencer career. Blake carpe diems the moment with both hands after a constant flurry of bad luck. Charlotte jumps at the chance to relive her sporting glories of the past - and take a hiatus from her humdrum marriage. And Grant is just relieved to get away from his failing second-hand music shop. But once the advances hit their bank accounts, it soon becomes apparent that producer Jock’s Pied Piper-style offer to change their lives is distinctly lacking in sherbet fizz! In fact, the only sweet thing about this gig for the former students and the rest of their Bubblegum and Blazers competitors, may just be the packet of candy in their pockets. Re-enacting their past is a rollercoaster of revelations, retaliation, and unlikely romance in a gold-fish bowl of mayhem where Raphael (Agony Uncle of the school sweet shop) and his rhubarb and custards reign supreme...

    This book takes you back in time to the 90's via a reality tv show. This is a lighthearted, easy to read story, that flows nicely.

    I'm not a big fan of reality tv, in fact, I would personally never watch a reality tv show. But this book made that concept so much fun. I thought of whether I would ever want to be in a reality tv show with my high school graduating class, and truthfully, I can't remember hardly anyone from high school.

    All in all, it was a fun, quick read, that really surprised me with the characters. Great character creation from Isabella May.
