Review: Loving Danny by Hilary Freeman



It’s a typical day for Naomi.  She is on a bus on her way home from a work placement when she meets Danny, a mysterious, handsome, young man who’s in a band and invites Naomi to one of his gigs.  The two hit it off from there.  To Naomi, Danny seems like the perfect guy until she starts to realise he’s a very troubled guy and there is a more destructive aspect of his personality that begins to reveal itself as she gets to know him more.

Erm, well, where to start.  Is it wrong to say that, in case, you can judge a book by its cover? Everything about it screamed cheesy, boring and a bit average which it sort of was.  Naomi, the protagonist, was so frustrating.  She was rude, unlikeable and so illogical!  To be honest, Danny was pretty much the same.  What I disliked about it most was that the whole thing could have been over in about 50 pages.  There was hardly any plotline development.  I can confidently say that the last two thirds of the book basically consisted of Naomi deciding that perhaps Danny wasn’t that good for her and then going back to him.  She was constantly changing her mind and questioning their relationship and from about half way I was just begging it to end.  I hate to use superlatives but I will say that it was one of my least favourite reads.  Sorry Hilary Freeman!
