Book Review: "Unlikely Story" by Ali Rosen

Kindle Unlimited Audiobook Paperback

⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5 stars


Each book I read and review starts off with the full load of 5 stars and this book is no different.  I always hope that each book finishes with all five stars still firmly in place, but I remove stars if necessary after giving my reasons for doing so within the review - they don't just vanish.


I've got a fully clear day ahead of me today so we'll see how much I manage to get read in the next 12 hours.


Let's get going with the reading and reviewing shall we?


Noooo!  At only 3% the first star is already wobbly for Trademark Infringement (or whatever it's called)!


I've just finished chapter 2 and my carer could turn up at any time so I'm not gonna read any more until she's gone, but so far so good.


Up to chapter 5 now and I'm getting confused as to where this book is supposed to be set - the UK or the USA - there are some things that make me sure it's the UK then the author suddenly drops in something that is only found in America!  If it doesn't become clear soon then the first star is coming off unfortunately.


Now I'm confused about the size of the dog, George, now too!  I swear that I'd read early on in the book that he was a large dog, but now he's a small dog... which one is it??  The first star is coming off at 4% because of the use of a Trademark potentially without permission again on top of the confusion surrounding the dog and still not knowing whether the book is set in America or the UK.


At 17% there's talk about a TV programme and a website, but I'm not sure where the legalities stand with those and I've already taken off a star for Trademark Infringement so the star is safe for now, just a bit wobbly again.


Up to chapter 14 at 43% now and it's definitely lunchtime lol


I'm at 75% now and I *really* wasn't expecting what's happened!


93% now and I'm really hoping I'll manage to get the book finished before I head to bed tonight otherwise I won't be able to sleep!  lol


What a great ending to a fantastic book and there's hopefully just about enough time to get this review up before I head to bed.  It's another 'shoulda been five stars' book, but if you can overlook the trademark infringements then this is a near-perfect book to stick your nose into for 12 hours.
