It has interesting and realistic characters. The fact that I gritter my teeth and painfully endured the tough bits is a proof of how truthful this book was to today\u2019s reality.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We follow Jake and Emily who are in anger management class. Jake is in a failing marriage and got to deal with Alfie who\u2019s not normal like other children. He\u2019s a full time stay at home dad, therefore he endures bigger pressure from Alfie and his tantrums. His wide, the breadwinner of the family took off one day, claiming she needs a break. Jake who\u2019s struggling with Alfie and his anger was shocked to find solace in Emily who\u2019s a skinhead, and one who didn\u2019t fancy him too much.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a book that reflects the harsh reality of today\u2019s world. I can\u2019t imagine coping or having a normal life with a child like Alfie. There are times I tend to get mad when my husband breathes a little too hard. Hehe. Just kidding, or am I?<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A stunning debut for Rachel Marks, if you ask me. I enjoyed reading how the misfits in Jake and Emily coming together, by putting their differences aside when it came to Alfie. I particularly love how honest this book felt. Everyone deserves a break every now and then, even if it\u2019s from the child they love.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you Times Read for sending this amazing review copy in exchange of my honest opinion. I hope y\u2019all will pick this gem up, it\u2019s available in all good bookstores. Till the next review, stay tuned!<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"wordads-inline-marker\" style=\"display: none;\"\/>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: Saturdays at Noon by Rachel Marks My Ratings: 4 Stars Publisher: Penguin Books Source: Times Reads Goodreads Synopsis: Emily just wants to keep the world away.She doesn\u2019t want anyone to know all the ways her life is messed up.Going to anger management every Saturday, talking to strangers, was not part of the plan.
