Ready for It by Nicola Masters
3.0
Ready for It is a quick, enjoyable read about the dynamics of female friendship, betrayal and envy between our main characters Natalie and Fiona. It centres on the typical sense of jealousy, feeling as though everyone else has life figured out; Natalie is envious of Fiona's stable relationship with her boyfriend and Fiona feels like she's one step behind in terms of her career prospects.
The book kicked off to a great start, it was very funny with laugh-out-loud moments. However there is very little plot and actual storyline to this book. The main conflict is very weak and the resolve is also unsatisfying.
I was, at first, delighted to see that this book was dual POV which is one of my favourite writing devices to gain both perspectives. However, within each standard-length chapter, the POV swapped at least 4/5 times on average, sometimes after only 1 short paragraph. It was too disorientating to keep switching back and forth so frequently, it would have worked better for each chapter to be dedicated to alternate characters.
I definitely think Nicola Masters' writing has considerably improved since her book Happy Happy Happy came out. I think if you're looking for a fast-paced book, wanting a laugh about friendships with relatable, realistic and modern female themes, this is definitely a book you'd enjoy.
3/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️
