Welcome to Novel Escapes
Reading is our passion and chick lit our favourite genre. We are two gals who began reading Marian Keyes and soon after, discovered the now infamous Bridget Jones's Diary and have passed chick lit books back and forth to each other ever since.
We aim to have at least one review done per week as we will both be reading each book to provide two reviews as sometimes our opinions differ.
We hope you enjoy our site and find some wonderful books to read!
