Review | Weekends with You by Alexandra Paige

Set in London over a year of weekends, this book was such an interesting read. It felt like reading in snapshots of the main character Lucy’s life and I enjoyed that despite the amount of time this book covers it didn’t feel like a heavy read. Instead, it was lighthearted and full of deliciously angsty moments between Lucy and her handsome, but ever-absent flatmate Henry.

The moments of found family in this book between all the roommates in the warehouse were my favourite to read. The Warehouse Weekends when all the roomies got together to hang out together were filled with side-splitting banter and adventure. Reading about their takeover of London was so much fun and I enjoyed how fun and diverse all the activities they chose to do were.

My only issue while reading this book was the length of the chapters. Because each chapter encompasses a weekend, sometimes they were lengthy in a way that felt exhausting or overwhelming to read. Sometimes, this made it difficult to pick the book back up if I only had a few minutes to read because I knew it would take me a while to get through one chapter.

Overall the writing was incredibly vivid and fun. As a lover of flowers, reading about the beautiful floral arrangements Lucy created made the book so much deeper. Alexandra Paige truly has a talent for writing a story where the world within it feels so tangible like I could live in the pages of Weekends with You and I totally would if I could.

Thank you to NetGalley, Avon and Harper Voyager for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Five out of five stars.

  1. I liked the banter too but otherwise found this somewhat one dimensional. Henry seemed so immature and Lucy not always reasonable in her expectations.
