Sweatpants at Tiffanie’s by Pernille Hughes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Just as all her life plans are unravelling, Tiff unexpectedly inherits a boxing ring. Everyone, including her ex boyfriend (git) and the club’s trainer (another git) thinks she should sell up, or let a man run it. Tiff decides to make a go of it herself.
In the meantime, Mikey, who broke her heart when she was a teenager (not a git) comes back to town.
I read this book over a weekend. I liked Tiff and the way she failed to recognise her own strengths until midway through the book. Her support network that eventually forms around her is lovely. I really enjoyed the way she reacted to the appalling sexism she faced from the boxing fraternity.
This is a funny and charming rom com. I had great fun reading it.
The usual disclaimer applies. I talk to Pernille on Twitter, so I sort of know her, even though we’ve never met in real life.
