In the book blurb, Three’s a Crowd is described as ‘Sex and the City meets The Devil Wears Prada.’ I could not agree more!! I had a lot of fun reading this book! There were plenty of snarky comments, lots of guy issues and plenty of times when a girl needs to have a drink with friends!! It was a light, witty contemporary read that takes one Aussie girl into the fun of New York!!

Elan and her closest friend Lily, which she grew up with in Australia, made the big move to New York. They have their dream jobs and have awesome friends. Both girls have boyfriends and life seems to be great for them both. Elan landed a great opportunity to edit Rox Wriothesly’s book, and after their run-in at the office, she is finding it difficult to track him down. Her relationship with Hunter becomes tense and her other childhood friend returns to New York to shake her life up further.

Three’s a Crowd was an entertaining read, that’s for sure! So many quirky things happen to Elan and she has that type of nature where she is able to brush it off or take advantage of the situation. She hits top bars and parties with her wealthy friends, helps out with work functions and is willing to bail someone out of ‘The Tombs’. She is the type of girl who easily makes friends and I liked seeing her life unfold.

Her closest friends have always been Lily and Luke and it was interesting to see their pasts unravel. All three characters have serious parental issues, which is probably another reason for them to be so close. Elan is the only one who knows Lily and Lukes darkest secrets, so they constantly rely on her. They all become close again in this story, which was good to see and they support each other through anything.

Elan has a great group of friends in and outside of work and they all put their own unique spin in Elans life. Hunter, I found him to be a bit controlling, but he made her happy. Rox was fun to read about, with his British accent and flirtatious attitude! He always manages to get on Elans nerves and I liked watching their relationship grow! And all the other girlfriends that she meets up with on girls night out!!

This book was fun to read from start to finish! I was unsure whether or not Elan would maintain the same boyfriend to the final page. It was entertaining to watch her unravel her feelings and how the guys fit in her life. She deals with a lot of parental issues that make any girl uncomfortable. I would've preferred more swoons moments, but this book was fun for me! I will definitely pick up another book from Edwina Darke!

I received a copy of this book from the Publisher, via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

  2. I never watched Sex in the City or The Devil Wears Prada. I get the gist of it though. I thought this was going to be something about a threesome when I saw the tittle. Obviously my mind is in the gutter. lol. This sounds like a fun read.
