Love and Chaos A Brooklyn Girls Novel Gemma Burgess 9781250000866 Books Reviews

When I read the first book in this series, Brooklyn Girls, I fell in love with all the girls living in that brownstone in Brooklyn. Each girl has a different personality and each is facing issues that are different and unique to them yet similar to each other at the same time. I guess you can say many of the issues are quintessential to the 20s, like discovering what it is you want to do with your life and who you want to be. Heck, I'm a little over a month out of my 20s and I'm still trying to find the answers to those questions.

Angie came off as a total wild child in the first book and in Love and Chaos, the book focuses on her while also focusing on her room mates, Pia, Julia, Madeline, and Coco whom we met in the first book. If you're worried about not having read Brooklyn Girls before Love and Chaos, don't despair. While the characters are the same, the books can be read independently of each other as there is little to no mention of what happened in the first book.

I must say getting up close with Angie made a world of a difference for me. I was able to learn what molded her behavior and attitude. I appreciated seeing her view her own behavior and release what was wrong and what she needed to do to change it. Angie may have seemed out of control, but I saw her as someone who was misguided and didn't know how to handle what was going on. Her solution to any sort of trouble/problem was to run away. Yes, Angie makes some poor choices. Who hasn't? I loved how she dealt with them afterwards. Not only did I feel as if I could relate to Angie, I wanted to be one of her confidants and just tell her she was on the right path and to be strong. It turns out she figured that out on her own.

Well before reading Love and Chaos or even Brooklyn Girls, I fell in love with Gemma Burgess's books. She's managed to continue her 5 star streak for me. I am beyond awed at how she was able to write a book with Angie as the main protagonist and yet somehow ensure that we were kept updated with what was going on in the lives of Julia, Madeline, Coco, Pia, and not feel shortchanged. I finished the book wondering, "Whose book is next and when will it be out?" but also ,"How does Gemma do it?". Kudos to her for such a great story. If you haven't read anything by her before, you are totally missing out. For all those who are looking for a great NA without lots of raunchiness but still a great story, here's your book. Now I'm off to my local book store to get a finished copy to add my collection of books by Gemma Burgess. See you there!

After professing my love for Brooklyn Girls last year, it is no surprise that I was looking forward to reading Love and Chaos. Gemma Burgess hits it out of the park yet again, with a vividly told tale. Complete with emotions and situations that I found easy to identify with, Love and Chaos has certainly earned a place as one of my favorite reads this year.

This second installment of (mis)adventures is narrated by Angie, the wild child, the party girl. I was worried I wouldn’t connect with her, since she and I are basically polar opposites. But I shouldn’t have feared – Burgess managed to make Angie easy for me to identify with by writing about familiar situations, particularly the hunt for a “dream job”.

Sure, Angie is brash and frank. She’s impulsive, and prone to the flee instinct in lieu of staying to fight. Her partying habits, and tendency to drink too much, made me wrinkle my nose a time or two. But all these things are a result of her upbringing, especially the way she understands love and craves it for herself. This isn’t an excuse, however, just an explanation.

It may appear that Angie isn’t the most likeable character, but that’s not true. Angie is also a talented designer, to whom fashion is like breathing and style is as natural a facet of her personality as breathing. She is loyal and extremely protective, with the capacity to fight on behalf of her friends. She can be brave, and funny, and also the kind of person who just lights up the room. My favorite thing about Angie? She harbors a secret stash of romance novels that she enjoys reading.

Apart from the five girls still living together in Rookhaven, the one other thing Brooklyn Girls has in common with Love and Chaos is the search for a job. While Pia was unsure of what she wanted to do, Angie has known that she wants to be involved in fashion. It’s a competitive industry, especially in New York, and the novel chronicles Angie’s journey to finding her way to a job she loves. I seriously thought this part was the easiest of all to relate to – the constant trying and failing and trying again, settling for a job just so you can pay your bills, feeling hopeless because nobody seems to want to give you a chance. Burgess wrote it well, wrote it real, and I think many readers will feel the same way I did.

Clearly, reading Love and Chaos was no hardship. It was fun to tag along with Angie as she goes through life, through the good moments and the not-so-good ones. The extremes to which her misadventures went to made me decidedly uncomfortable (and angry on her behalf), but it also felt fitting that she would end up in these crazy dead-ends because of her actions. I loved it all – the drama, the gasp-inducing twists, and the appearances of the other girls.

The Brooklyn Girls series is seriously one of those series that I feel is underrated. It’s written so well, even though certain turns of events might be a little over the top (which is not a bad thing at all). Plus, the five friends – Pia, Coco, Julie, Madeleine and Angie – are seriously awesome to read about!

I might not have done the best job of book pushing Brooklyn Girls last year, but rest assured I’m going to fix that after reading (and loving) Love and Chaos. Obviously, I highly recommend these two! In particular, they’re good reads for fans of chick lit, books about friendship and books about self-transformation and self-discovery.
I read the first book in the series and really enjoyed it, so I bought this book. BIG MISTAKE. If I could give this book 0 stars, I would. It was honestly hard to finish.
Great, easy read. 20-somethings can all relate to a group of girls struggling with love and careers.
Read both book #1 (Brooklyn Girls) & now book #2 of this series in less than 2 days! Can't wait for book #3 to be released this spring! An exciting yet easy read that you will truly adore! Gemma Burgess, you are A+
Gemma Burgess is now my favorite author of the genre. Her books are so exuberant, you just can't help falling in love with them.
I love this book and I love this author! Captivating and inticing once I cracked open the first page I couldn't put it down. Gemma Burgess is now one of my favourite authors. I hope she releases more novels within this series! As a twenty-something , the books were extremely relatable for me, and often laugh-out-loud-funny. 5 stars for sure!
The second story in this series (about Angie this time) turned out very interesting.
I personaly liked the main character very much.
She made poor choices, but had always good intention and I liked to be in her head.
