Want Books? is a weekly meme hosted here at Chachic’s Book Nook and features released books that you want but you can’t have for some reason. It can be because it’s not available in your country, in your library or you don’t have the money for it right now. Everyone is free to join, just grab the image above. Leave a comment with a link to your post so I can do a roundup with each post.
I haven’t read any of Gemma Burgess books but I’m really curious about A Girl Like You because of the interesting premise. Also, it comes highly recommended by my friend Janice. I realized that I haven’t added an adult contemporary romance title in my best of 2012 pile so I want to read more potential favorites under that genre.
Here’s the summary from Goodreads:
“I’ve discovered the secret to successful singledom. I’m acting like a man. And it’s working.”
After breaking up with her boyfriend of, well, forever, Abigail Wood must learn how to be single from scratch. Her dating skills are abysmal, and she ricochets from disaster to disaster – until Robert, one of London’s most notorious lotharios, agrees to coach her. With his advice, she learns to navigate the bastard-infested waters of the bar scene and practices the art of being bulletproof. The new Abigail is cocky, calm, composed… but what happens when she meets her match?
What about you, what book is in your wishlist? Feel free to recommend other adult contemporary romance (or chick lit) titles that you’ve enjoyed reading recently.

I really like the premise but I’m not a fan of the cover, I think it could have a better design. Thanks Alex, hope you can read it soon too. :D

It looks very girly, doesn’t it? Maybe you can check it out if you’re interested in adult contemps. :P

I love the cover and I think it’s worth reading. Searched for this on Book Depository because of your post but it’s currently unavailable. Hope it will be soon!

Sorry to hear that it’s not available in Book Depository! But I’m glad you looked it up based on my post. :) Maybe you can ask Fully Booked to order it for you?
