You Don't Have To Say You Love Me (Sarra Manning) Review

'Sweet, bookish Neve Slater always plays by the rules. And the number one rule is that good-natured fat girls like her don’t get guys like gorgeous, handsome William, heir to Neve's heart since university. But William’s been in LA for three years, and Neve’s been slimming down and re-inventing herself so that when he returns, he’ll fall head over heels in love with the new, improved her.

So she’s not that interested in other men. Until her sister Celia points out that if Neve wants William to think she's an experienced love-goddess and not the fumbling, awkward girl he left behind, then she’d better get some, well, experience.

What Neve needs is someone to show her the ropes, someone like Celia’s colleague Max. Wicked, shallow, sexy Max. And since he’s such a man-slut, and so not Neve’s type, she certainly won’t fall for him. Because William is the man for her… right?

Somewhere between losing weight and losing her inhibitions, Neve’s lost her heart – but to who?'

I  enjoyed this book but not as much as other books by Sarah Manning. I liked Neve I could identify with her as I too can be very self conscious and I know a girl's weight is a very touchy subject but she seemed so self involved, her whole life revolved around how she looks and her weight and I just couldn't get my head around that.

I also found it annoying how she would pine after William when she had a great guy like Max who was right under her nose wanting to be with her.

I did enjoy this book and I probably will give it a read again at some point.
