Book review: Love, Tanya

Hia!
Today I'll be doing a quick review of the book Love, Tanya which is written by Tanya Burr





































The Cover:
I really love a book that looks good on my bookshelf and this book definitely ticks that box. The colours are really pretty and bright.


Writing Style:
I think this is definitely the most important part of a book. Some books are written in a style that you love and others aren't, its as simple as that. For example: Roddy Doyle's style of writing annoys me as I find it sounds quite childish and meaningless whereas I really love John Green's writing style as it feels very personal and interesting. Tanya's style of writing is more blog-ish and less book-ish but I feel like it works in this book. It feels just as if Tanya herself is sitting next to you telling you about her life. I guess if you don't like Tanya you won't be too big a fan of this book! I personally enjoy Tanya's style of writing although it did feel slightly rushed towards the end of the book. I believe she should have spent more time in this part of the book as I felt it was the most important part.

Ideas in the Book:
Tanya created a really warm, fuzzy feeling that stays with you throughout the book, a bit like Girl Online. Although I don't agree with all the ideas in the book there is one quote that I really adore... it goes something like this
"Success is loving yourself, loving what you do and loving how you do it."
I feel like even though I haven't heard of this quote before I have sort of lived by it for the past few years. I like how Tanya's mum learnt to be an English teacher despite leaving school. It really shows that no matter who you are, if you work hard enough, it will work out in the end. I understand that some people will find things in the book that they really love and live by that I would barely notice and vice versa. It is quite a personal book so it means something different to everyone.

Overall I really liked this book and writing a review on it helped me to appreciate it even more. I hope that this helps someone to choose whether or not to buy this. If anyone wants me to review any other books I would really love to!
