<div><span style="font-size:14px;">"<span style="line-height:normal;font-size:small;">I always like to give new authors a chance and I purchased this book in preparation for my first holiday since giving birth. I wanted something that was a page turner and that would give me the "feel good" factor after reading a good book. This is exactly what it delivers. S P Blanchard has made the characters likeable and identifiable and the story has twists and surprises unlike a typical holiday read. I think it may appeal more to the "blokes" but as a female it is quite nice to know there are no surprises with what they think about! If I were to describe it, I would say it is a male rom-com along the lines of other authors such as Matt Dunn, Mike Gayle and Nick Hornby. A must-read!" - <em>Dr.K</em></span></span></div><div><span style="font-size:14px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size:14px;">"<span style="line-height:normal;font-size:small;">This is not the normal type of book I go for as I'm more of a blood, murder, sci fi kind of person. However I thought that maybe I should try something a bit lighter for my holiday reading and downloaded 'Getting Sync'd' onto my kindle. It was perfect poolside reading. The characters are realistic, and being from a media back ground know this to be true! As the previous reviewer pointed out it is a rom-com but from a male perspective. If you're not into 'fluffy' books and want to try something a bit different I'd recommend trying this." - A<em>nn Kendrick</em></span></span></div><div><span style="font-size:14px;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size:14px;">"First off let me say this is a really good book! It was recommended to me by a friend and didn't disapoint. The plot itself is nothing new - it's basically a reunion story mixed together with a hint of early mid-life crisis. The kind of things that have been seen before in other male-rom-com stories. But this story has an individual humour, is laced with witty dialogue from believable, fallable characters which keep you engaged and wanting to know more. It's also not as straight-forward as you would expect, with some surprising twists and turns keeping the story even more realistic. </span></div><div><span style="font-size:14px;">The ending is a typically happy one but there are so many open endings that make you want to know more. I do wonder if any follow-up book will resolve these loose ends!?</span></div><div><span style="font-size:14px;">An excellent read which I would, and indeed have recommended to others. Well done!" - <em>Jim</em></span></div>
